Book of Job - Chapter 2 v 7-8a
The Question "Why?"
INSIGHTS:
Satan’s goal is to make us suffer
He attempts to turn the question of Why into doubts about God’s:
Integrity
Authority
Wisdom
Using multiple tactics, focusing on our points of vulnerability.
Creating the feeling of hopelessness, where life has lost its meaning and where God has abandoned us.
"If you have a why to live for, you can bear with any how", Nietzsche.
- Victor Frankl, Jewish psychiatrist, author and Nazi concentration camp survivor studied this in the concentration camp. He noticed some people died, others didn't - - and it was tied in no way to physical strength. Frankl concluded that the most important driving life force for man was the search for meaning. Every human being has to have a task, it doesn't matter what it is but it must be his own. When he finds it, he can keep his dignity with a sense of hope and can transcend even the most desperate circumstances.
