The book of Job teaches us that we can trust GOD, his purpose, wisdom, and goodness even while we may be going through great suffering or trials.
Our understanding of our circumstances is limited at times and we should not lean on our understanding but trust that GOD is working out all things for our ultimate good if we are among those who love him and have been called according to his purpose.
Good times or difficult times have the potential to work for our benefit and conform us to a more perfect image of Christ.
Job invites the reader to further ponder some of life's most difficult questions.

Reflection questions in this episode:
Do I seek God for my answers or other people?
Do I seek Gods guidance before giving advice to others and ask him to help me to know when to be silent or to speak?
Am I quick to judge or accuse others?
Encouragement:
“Oh, that my words were recorded, that they were written on a scroll,that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead, or engraved in rock forever!
I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!" Job 19:23-27
