Today we begin reading the book of Job. Moses was a possible author of this book and chronologically, it is believed to have been the first book of the Bible ever written. This is a very difficult book to read, but it is an essential book for all believers because it speaks about faith and God’s sovereignty even when we suffer. The important thing to remember is that even in his intense suffering, Job never cursed God. In the third chapter Job does curse the day of his birth, but never curses God for allowing the suffering to occur in his life. Job’s life is an example of trusting God even in the most difficult of situations. Suffering may happen in our lives, but God never leaves us, and more importantly, He never stops loving us. This will be a long book to read with 42 chapters, but if we read it with the mindset of understanding how to handle suffering, we can learn a lot from this book.
