Description

As Job undergoes an incredible level of torment and suffering, he keeps his lament directed toward God. But it is certain that not everything that comes out of his mouth makes us comfortable. For example, he cries out to God for death saying death would be so much better than life; a suicidal sentiment. Is Job right in all of the words he lifts to God? Absolutely not. But the key is that he never turns away from God even when he is in such error of thought. He always goes to God authentically right where he is in life. God can handle and correct our error when we are suffering. One of the most important things we learn from Job's lament...never let go of God. For God, when we are truly ready to receive Him will reveal Himself to us to redeem us and save us.
