The best response to the perpetual problem of suffering and evil is humility. God is God and we are not. Faith, hope, and love thrive when we accept God’s sovereignty over all life. Our unwavering confidence in God’s love lies at the heart of this conviction. God’s love ensures justice, quiets our anxiety, cultivates our contentment, and generates our confidence. Job’s story reveals both the limits of human reasoning and the limitless love, wisdom, and power of the sovereign Lord. Application: God’s love, wisdom and justice inspire our peace in the midst of life’s trials.
