Job

Many people have read the book of Job looking to answer the question: Why is there suffering? But that is not the subject of the book. The main question that Job addresses is: Will you continue to serve and worship God in the midst of suffering?Would you serve and worship God even if it seemed, from all outward appearances, that he had abandoned you?Despite our fickle feelings God's sovereignty brings us great comfort even in the midst of suffering. There are no accidents in the universe. God is in control of both the good, with which he blesses us, and the evil which he allows. Satan had no power to operate outside of God's authority. Satan has no independent authority of his own. No one can touch God's people without God's permission.
