Monday, November 17 | The Traumatic Life of Job

Trauma can be a wound, a pain or discomfort that we experience, and it's not just about the event itself, but our response to it.

Despite his pain, Job maintains his integrity and faith in God, and his story teaches us about the importance of having a strong worldview and not denying God in the midst of suffering. We can learn from Job's experience and remember that God is making us into the people he wants us to be, even through the hard times. [... more]
