The story of Job is the story of someone facing extreme hardship. The bible is full of people who face hardship usually as a result of unfaithfulness. However, Job’s story is a test. This story is an opportunity for a person to explore one’s reactions and what that tells you about your own faith. Within the context of this story, you can explore fairness, grief, reconciliation, fear, good and evil and a whole host of other themes depending on how deep you want to dig. The following study is meant to start you on that exploration. You may decide at another time to dive deeper into the book to the rich conversations between Job, his friends and God. May the spirit bless you in your study.
