*JOB'S AFFLICTION*
Introduction:
The book of Job discusses undeserved suffering (i.e. why bad things happen to good people). Job's friends insisted he was suffering as punishment for his sin. But Job defended himself by insisting that he had done nothing seriously wrong. Then why did he suffer? No simple solution is given to the problem of suffering. Job finally admitted that God is too great and wonderful for us to understand. Even after losing everything he owned and suffering from a terrible sickness, Job still loved and trusted God. That's a great example for us. When things go wrong, let us not question God, instead trust Him and accept His perfect will. What a faithful God we have!
