Today in the One Year Playbook we see Bildad talking about death. He talks about doom and gloom. JOB 16:1-19:29
Bildad was expecting the worst and preparing for it.
Bildad was living a life full of doubt and condemnation. Bildad was worried and miserable.
"Misery loves company."
Bildad was a "friend" that was happy his buddy Job was miserable. It made Bildad feel better about himself.
Do you know anyone like that?
LEADERS EXPECT THE BEST AND PREPARE FOR THE WORST
Bildad only talks about the negative.
On the other hand Job was a person who lived in expectation and anticipation of God doing great things.
Job was familiar with death and prepared for the worst but he expected the best.
Job said, "I know my redeemer lives and I will see Him."
Job had hope in a mediator who could plead his case.
What is our hope in? When everything is against us who and what do we Trust in?
Bildad gave up on life. Job endured the pain and looked forward to the future with Christ for eternity.
When you expect the best you live a life full of Possibilities.
Possibility Thinking knows, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phil 4:13
LEADERS EXPECT THE BEST AND PREPARE FOR THE WORST
Start Fast - Finish Strong
Just Go!
