Have you ever met Job? Have you ever heard his story?
Job is one of the most challenging books of the Bible. In short, Job lost everything.
He lost:
his children
his children’s husbands and wives
his fortune
his wife’s loyalty
his health
And then, the friends who came to comfort him were no help at all. While he
lay there, covered in sores, they asked him what he had done to deserve this
– “and please don’t tell us you're innocent!” He obviously had done something,
they said!
Job thought he was going to enjoy the riches he had honestly earned, and
have many grandchildren, and he would live out his days in comfort and
peace. But that isn’t what happened.
Do you think he was disappointed? Are you disappointed, too?
