Down But Not Out In Suffering (Job)

Your business goes bankrupt, your children and grand children are destroyed in a horrendous hurricane, and then your health completely fails. Your wife visits you in the hospital and says, “Honey, why don’t you just curse God and die!” Close friends show up to give you more support. Just their silent presence comforts and then they open their mouths, “Just face it. You must have sinned badly to deserve all this. Just confess it and things will get better!” Where is God when your wife curses you and your best friends condemn you? The answer is found in the Old Testament Book of Job.
