Job 1-3

For anyone to read the first two chapters of Job and not be moved to sorrow is to miss the point of his loss. There is no one who would wish such events on themselves. The physical and emotional pain of those two days would be immeasurable. It was only by the grace of God that Job was able to retain his sanity. His sorrow is evident in his reaction - cursing the day of his birth. Yet he still didn't take matters into his own hands, Job trusted that God would somehow releave this terrible burden that Job was carrying. It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.
