On the surface Job is a long, boring, somewhat confusing
book and one might question how it ever came to be grouped with the “wisdom”
books as it is hard to ascertain any “wisdom” in this tale of woe. For the
casual reader of the Bible you may even want to omit Job from your reading list
and stick with warm and fuzzy verses like John 3:16 and the 23rd
Psalm.
However,
for the soul in desperate search of God, for purpose to life, for direction,
and for a close, personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Messiah, Savior,
and Lord, run as fast as you can to the book of Job and read it over and over.
As you grow and mature in God, His grace and wisdom are imparted to you through
the study of His word. The deeper you dig the more you see the book of Job as
the compilation of practically every topic and theme contained in all of
scripture.
