Job: Trusting God without Answers

If you are on pace, then the book of Job has been pushing poetic phrases concerning pain and confusion onto you like a divine salve. Consider:

“Whether for correction or for His land or for love, He causes it to happen.” (37:13)

“If you are righteous, what do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?” (35:7)

“If He should set His heart to it and gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath, all flesh would perish together, and man would return to the dust.” (34:14,15)

The arguments going back and forth are good hard truth for the soul as well. Job is a classic book to study on how to deal with pain and failure in a godly way. God cares about our pain and our response, thus Job. Hope you made it through! Now back to Genesis.
