Job: Deep Themes – Part 2
Share

The silence of God is hard. In the middle of Job’s suffering, his friends argue theology, make accusations, and try to defend God. But God doesn’t speak—yet.

Job cries out. He demands answers. And finally, God speaks—not with explanations, but with questions.

He doesn’t tell Job why it happened. He shows him who He is.

And that changes everything.


🔍 Deep Spiritual Lessons from Job

1. God Doesn’t Always Answer—He Reveals

When God speaks from the whirlwind (Job 38), He doesn’t explain the test. He reveals His wisdom, His creation, His care for the universe.

Sometimes you won’t get an answer. But God gives you Himself—and that’s more than enough.


2. Humility Is the Doorway to Healing

Job’s turning point isn’t when he figures it out. It’s when he says:

“Surely I spoke of things I did not understand.” (Job 42:3)

God doesn’t scold Job for asking hard questions. He honors his honesty—and invites him into deeper trust.
