🌿 Introduction
“Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him…” — Job 13:15
The Book of Job is a sacred portrait of suffering, trust, and divine purpose. It wrestles with one of the oldest questions known to man: Why do the righteous suffer? Job is a blameless and upright man whose life is shattered by a series of devastating losses. Yet through his pain, Job never fully lets go of his faith. His journey is not just about enduring suffering, but about seeking truth in the middle of silence.
Across its poetic dialogues and weighty laments, the book calls us into the mystery of God’s sovereignty. It reminds us that while answers may seem hidden, God’s presence remains. Through Job’s story, believers today are drawn into the heart of deep faith, patience, and the eternal hope that even ashes can be redeemed.
