A Common Sense Approach to Job

The book of Job is a challenging book to say the least! When you mention it people tend to cringe. However, as you journey through this book you realize that Job’s trial was a very short time in his life. The book is poetic and as with all poems the writer uses many colorful words to describe almost everything! This is a also a book of trust, God allows Job to go through trials because He can trust Him. We need to remember that when trials and tests come upon us, they have already gone through God and He trusts us to come out successfully and stronger than when we entered them. God only allows those He trusts to be tested and tried which brings purity and prosperity! So, remember, when you have a trial or test, God has already given you the answer and as a good teacher He is quiet during the test. Pay attention in the class of life and make sure you are prepared for the tests! God is giving you answers!
