Tim and Jon discuss the Wisdom Literature in the Bible: the books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job...

Even though life is not fair, you have no justifiable reasons, how do you trust God? Job's story invites us to think about the meaning of God moving the world with wisdom and how this truth brings peace in the age of darkness. Job is the end of three books on the themes of these Bible wisdom.

Located in Uzu, an unobtrusive land far from Israel in an unknown period, Job's book has focused on the problems of God's righteousness and good people's suffering. Through the book, Job, his wife and his friends guessed why he is an upright man and suffers. Job condemned God as unjust and did not operate the world according to the principle of justice, and his friends believed that Job 's sin caused his suffering. Job decided to talk to God directly.

God reminds him that the world is orderly and beautiful, but it is also wild and dangerous. We do not always know why we suffer, but we bring pain and sadness to God and we can know what he is doing thinking that God is wise.
