If you had to choose a book of the Bible that has suffering for its theme, which would you pick?
Hands down most would gravitate to Job. God is in the storm even though we sometimes don’t have eyes to see.
Job is about perspective. Job’s, his friends, and God’s all give different perspectives. Job reads like a play, each part revealing something.
Job 28:28 is so powerful! “Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.”
Kate even found a humorous verse, “Oh that you would keep silent, and it would be your wisdom!” was Job’s retort to his friends whose words much more hurtful than helpful. Job 13:5
The robust words in Job 19:25 led to a powerful hymn, “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last He will stand upon the earth.”
Please join us as we meet Job in the midst of his suffering and questioning, then God shows up in the Whirlwind! Wow! This is a book that warrants a closer look!
Let’s connect, to reflect! Blessings!
