Job is an upright man who feared God. God allows Satan to bring suffering upon him. Note Job’s response:
- Trust/Submission – Job begins by showing an incredible trust in God – accepting both blessing and suffering. He worships God, submitting his life to him. In what situations do you need to trust God and submit your life to him?
- Questions – And yet, in his pain Job struggles with questions of why. He even wishes he wasn’t born! Job is a real person struggling with his suffering. Have you ever struggled like this? How might that trust and submission Job showed earlier help in the midst of questions?
