Job

We are all very acquainted with the life and times of Job. The oldest book in the bible certainly has a definite message: continue to trust in God and do not question his authority.

It seems like Job in the beginning of the book could not have a worse thing happen to him. Literally everything is taken from him, eventually even his health. The enemy is out to test Job's faith. Will he curse the Lord (like his wife suggests)? Or will he press on? He and his friends have a long debate on the attributes and actions of God. There is foolishness communicated and there is wisdom. In the end though, Job finds himself broken and contrite before God. We know the end of the story: God returns to Job all that he had taken, multiple times over again. The Lord, in his infinite wisdom knows what's best for us. Do we have the audacity to complain or question his authority in our lives?
