Job may be on the mat, but he's not down for the count. His spirit is broken, but from brokenness comes healing.
"Principled people hold tight, keep a firm grip on life." Job knows that God is good, all the time. And all the time, God is good.
Life isn't always good...or fair. God is big enough for our personal and societal questions. We can rail against him for "causing" the earthquake and tsunami in Japan...or the equivalent disasters in our life. Or we can acknowledge his goodness and go to him for healing.
Suffering produces endurance. Well, it can. We could turn suffering into bitterness, something that drives us from God.
My mom has suffered through most of her life, but has endured with God's help. Now she has an unshakable character, which will lead her to have hope in this life and the next.
Stay on the path. Join us on this Lenten journey. Together we can develop Godly character...and hope is just around the corner from there.
