The Book of Job is known to be a book about suffering, yet I suggest that it is far more. It makes a wonderful statement about faith:
Nowhere is faith more required than in the midst of pain and having no answers… like Job. Job is never given an explanation as to why he suffered.
- Faith trusts.
- Faith obeys.
- Faith holds on, even when it doesn’t have answers. (If it had the answers, then it wouldn’t be faith.)
- Faith is “OK” with not knowing.
But the fact that I don’t understand the reason doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
