—Job 3:11-19
by: Dale E. Rood.
These are not the rational views of an objective outsider. These are the anguished cries of a man who is in the midst of great personal struggle. It is not just that he has lost his substance, lost his family, and is now afflicted with painful sores, but that in this he feels that God has left him. That is the agony of suffering: the sense of isolation from God. The good news of the book of Job is that God has not left him, even though it feels like he has. This book helps us understand what is happening in the unseen spiritual realm when we get to those times of great anguish.
