Job – Good times, bad times

Bryson Smith

Most of us know what it’s like to have one of those days – a day where nothing goes right – everything goes wrong.Sometimes those days are nothing more than a nuisance, and given enough time we can think back and laugh about them. Sometimes those days are far more tragic. The day a biopsy test comes back positive. The day the police knock at the door to tell you about a fatal accident. The day you discover a terrible secret within a relationship. These are days which can be the start of unimaginable grieving and suffering.

The Old Testament book of Job takes us into the life of a man who loses everything. Job’s possessions, livelihood, children, and health are all ripped away from him in tragic circumstances. Job enters into crippling, mind numbing anguish.
