Though Job’s friends comfort him at first (⁠Job 2:11-13⁠), they slowly turn from good, to the bad and the ugly. Too often (like Job’s friends) we have a karma attitude about bad things happening; that there is a deserved. Let’s not be miserable comforters (⁠Job 16⁠). We need to listen, to those who are suffering, and listen to the Holy Spirit. For, where do we find wisdom? We wisdom by trusting it in a great God. Just as Job recognized, God has a plan (⁠Romans 8:28⁠), and no matter how hard life is our redeemer lives (⁠Job 19:25⁠).

In the end, God’s response is to remind him of the power, knowledge and sovereignty of God himself. But we are left without a satisfying reason for suffering and questions of justice. This is exactly how we experience much of suffering. Many questions are left. Job understands we are to trust and rest in knowing God is good and all-powerful. This is the lesson for us as well, for we know that God works all things for good according to His purpose (⁠Romans 8:28⁠).

This is an amazing thought! Though humanity first hid from God's presence He continues to draw nearer and nearer to his people. The story of God coming to be with us is powerful. Living in God's presence is where we find true fulfillment and joy.
