“So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the godless will perish, For his confidence is fragile and breaks, And his trust is [like] a spider’s web. “He trusts in his house, but it does not stand; He holds tightly to it, but it does not endure. “He thrives and prospers [like a green plant] before the sun, And his branches spread out over his garden. “His [godless] roots are wrapped around a pile of rocks, And he gazes at a house of stones. “If he is snatched from his place [in the garden], Then his place will forget him, saying, ‘I have never seen you.’ “Behold, this is the joy of His way; And from out of the dust others will spring up and grow [to take his place].

The book of Job chronicles testing a righteous man's faith through suffering. Although Job's friends attempt to comfort him, it is only by God's revelation of His wisdom and might that Job finds true comfort. Even in deep suffering, God can do all things, and none of His purposes can be thwarted (Job 42:2).
Joy is the constant companion of the woman who trusts in the Lord. And while you can find it in friends, family, and circumstances, unfailing, persistent joy will only ever overflow from your relationship with Jesus. Just ask Job, the man from Uz who clung to God’s goodness while all his worldly joys were stripped away. But how is it possible to hold onto such joy in times of sorrow? In this study by Lisa Harper, discover the redemptive side to Job’s story of suffering. Learn to use pain to strengthen your faith, point others to the gospel, and remember God’s providence will never take you to a place where His grace will not sustain you.
