Day 300...(Job 41,42; Isaiah 61; Romans 8)..."Peace with the Unanswered Questions of Job"

We leave Job not answering all the theological questions. How appropriate that we also read Romans 8 and give us some perspective of God's faithfulness through suffering. Job does end with a blessed life after enduring the miserable years. The questions are not answered of suffering but peace comes in knowing God is with us through what we do not understand. Here are two passages that help make some sense of Job from Romans.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Amen!
