Suffering

I have been fascinated by the story of Job in Scripture for quite some time. It has brought solace during hard times with its unexpected response of wisdom to Job’s suffering. I am especially intrigued by the fact that after Job’s tragedies, the book spends a lot of time detailing the many words of both Job and his friends, who try to figure out the reason for Job’s suffering.

God is silent, until finally He shows up through a whirlwind in chapter 38, and His response is to take Job on a nature walk.
