We have all experienced some form of pain, difficulty, trauma, or challenge. But what are we supposed to do when life takes an unexpected turn? How can we position ourselves to respond like Job? What can we do to process our troubles? This devotional explores what can be gleaned from Job on how to navigate life's tough seasons.

Suffering is the one experience which binds all of humankind together. But why does it exist? What purpose does it serve? Like so many of us, Job was a person who didn’t deserve the immense pain that entered his life. It was at his lowest point when God showed up and provided one of the most challenging and powerful answers to the problem of pain the world has ever heard.

Joy is the constant companion of the woman who trusts in the Lord. And while you can find it in friends, family, and circumstances, unfailing, persistent joy will only ever overflow from your relationship with Jesus. Just ask Job, the man from Uz who clung to God’s goodness while all his worldly joys were stripped away. But how is it possible to hold onto such joy in times of sorrow? In this study by Lisa Harper, discover the redemptive side to Job’s story of suffering. Learn to use pain to strengthen your faith, point others to the gospel, and remember God’s providence will never take you to a place where His grace will not sustain you.
