The problem Job had was that he was in the suffering and amidst the suffering instead of reminding himself that God is good, God is in control, Job tried to justify himself, even exaggerating himself and whilst doing so made out that God was unjust.

In all of this suffering Job begins to understand that God's justice isn't "simple", it isn't just black and white but far more complex.

Occasionally there may be times where we suffer unjustly or are accused of doing things we never did and suffer for it. Let there be hope that God, the innocent, sinless, perfect, righteous creator, suffered the greatest injustice for wickedness He never committed.

Jesus Christ suffered the fully fury of God's wrath, was called a criminal, drunkard, beaten, scoffed at and scorned on OUR behalf, so that in Him we may have life!


Let us take heed sometimes God is much less merciful to His children than we would be to ours because His purposes are so much greater, so much more noble.
