As we observe the personal, emotional and physical angst of a man in spiritual agony – Job – it is becoming obvious that the lessons of his life are meant for all mankind, for all time. Everything Job has experienced said, prayed or complained about, has been done by just about everybody alive now or forever!

I chose this passage in the New Living Translation which accurately translates it directly into understandable modern language: “I cry out to you, O God, but You don’t answer. I stand before You, but You don’t even look. You have become cruel to me. You use Your Power to persecute me. You throw me to the whirlwind and destroy me in the storm and I know You are sending me to my death – the destination of all who live.”(Job 30:20-23).
