WICKED SHEPHERDS
The Reformation has never ended. It is just beginning.
Job’s story, even with its extremities of loss and suffering, is an honest presentation of life in a broken world.
We face opposition both spiritual (Satan) and human (Job’s wife and friends). We experience seasons of fullness (Job 1:1-3) and extended times of great loss (chapters 1-2).
We endure heartache related to those we love (1:18-19) as well as trials related to our own health (2:7).
Job’s trials were so comprehensive that they touched almost every area of human suffering, and his responses were also completely human.

Life In A Broken World
At times, Job expressed extraordinary faith and trust in God (1:20-22), and at other times he questioned the Creator’s seeming lack of care in his struggles (30:20-24).
This roller-coaster of spiritual and emotional turmoil reminds us of life’s realities – realities in which God calls us to rest in Him (chapters 38-41), even when we don’t understand what’s happening to us.
