What was the last straw for Job’s wife? When we meet her in chapter 2, she and her husband have already sustained unimaginable losses. Their children have been killed, meaning no future legacy for the couple. All of Job’s assets are gone, meaning no livelihood for the couple. Job grieves...

God, watch over me when I am at my wits’ end. Strengthen me against bitterness. Forgive my gloomy outlook, and open my eyes so that I can see my situation differently. Thank you for being with me even when I don’t want to be with you. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

This week we read about Job, an upright man who faces severe trials but never loses his faith. Job’s story brings us face-to-face with the fact that living a godly life does not make us immune to suffering. Like Job, the psalmist wonders why he suffers, even though he lives according to God’s standards. Hebrews presents Jesus as the ultimate example of unwarranted suffering, yet because of his perseverance he is ultimately glorified. In Mark, some Pharisees test Jesus on the interpretation of the law concerning divorce. Jesus makes strong statements about marriage, but his larger concern is that their hearts have become hard. He contrasts them with little children, who model faith by receiving God with an open heart.
