Job 3 & Revelation 9:13-21

Job 3 is where we see the start of dialogue between Job and his 3 friends at first. In this chapter we see Job cursing the day of his birth, his longing for rest, and finally lamenting his suffering. Some commentaries point out how this is Job looking at death as being better than being forsaken by God, as this chapter can be broken down into Job believing he wouldn’t have suffered as much if he hadn’t been conceived (1-10), if he had died at birth (11-19), or if he had died when his troubles began (20-26). While this view is not commended, his questioning done honestly through suffering is also not critiqued.

Often when we go through suffering, we think it is sinful to question God or to air our grievances before Him. However, this is almost what the majority of the book of Job is about. Job going through great suffering and questioning the reasons for it. The key concept though is he doesn’t sin in doing so; he may ask why, but he doesn’t curse God or lose his trust and faith in God. When we go through sufferings and troubles, we need to take a look at Job, feel free to ask why, but remember God is always there and is faithful to get you through whatever it is you are going through.
