Job a man who knew God well, one who honoured and worshipped God, despite the trials came to the end of himself. After months of immense suffering and pain Job was wishing the world had ended as he'd been born or that he'd never been born or that he had died before the suffering had taken place.

If there is no sufficient answer to the sin and its affects of suffering in the world, Job thought it was better that he be dead.

We often are quick to assume that no one else has struggles, yet we are encouraged to think that every character in all of the Bible faced trials and tough times and even the likes of Jeremiah and Elijah were greatly despairing.

Let us take the encouragement that the church isn't filled with perfect people or others with perfect lives. The church is a gathering of people who are broken, who don't have all the answers and who are in this fallen world facing the affects of sin.

But we can take hope in knowing that there is one who suffered in a way we can never image. The only perfect sufferer. The only one who didn't deserve any suffering. The God who suffered the full fury and wrath of God in our place!

Let us take hope not in trying to know the reason for our suffering but know who can end our suffering!
