Based on his limited personal experience Job makes some sweeping and unwarranted conclusions about who God is and how he cares over his creation. We are often guilty of doing the same.

We often struggle to receive God’s love fully because we do not understand God’s true nature or our own. But God has given us pictures of sheep and a shepherd to show us what He is like, what we are like and what it means to follow Him.

In a world where the righteous suffer and the wicked go unpunished, it seems as though God’s system of justice is broken. How do we square the injustice that we see in our world with what God tells us in his Word?

We trap God in the confines of our own logic and experience, but God’s ways are higher and more mysterious than we could imagine.

Having a true picture of God can only come when we understand His heart for us, and it is that picture of God that changes our lives forever.

The stakes are raised on the wager, resulting in Job’s physical torment. What sense can we make of a God who allows this level of suffering on those he loves?
