our spiritual lives consist in how we respond to what is beyond our control - Father Stephen Freeman

I wanted to talk about this... specifically as illustrated by the story of Job.

God was not being cruel to Job, He was giving us a glorious example to live by, for whatever God gave Job he accepted completely. This story isn't about how God will test you until you break and scream for Him, it is a testament to what faith can accomplish in us... Ultimately Job is a prefiguration of the Messiah, who like a lamb led to slaughter opened not his mouth... The story of Job is the story of Christ Jesus...

Any refutations of my statements are quite welcome! Please tell me your interpretations!

God bless anyone who reads these ramblings..
