Description

Pain, problems, and suffering sometimes make it difficult for us to trust that God’s way is best. In the book of Job, we are reminded that the God who allows suffering in our lives is the same God who rules over the planets, stars, weather, and animals with infinite wisdom and absolute strength far beyond our comprehension. We are not capable of understanding his plans, but he can help us trust his way is best.

The suffering of righteous Job also points us forward to the cross, where God used the terrible suffering of his own innocent Son to rescue people from the ultimate suffering of sin’s eternal punishment. Life is often hard, but Job and Jesus remind us God is sovereign even over pain and problems. We can trust him. His way is best.
