Though Eliphaz had good intentions, his lack of understanding concerning God and Job caused him to not only misinterpret the situation but to offer bad counsel. In his response, Job will seek vindication while further verbalizing his deep internal struggles. What lessons can we learn from Job's reaction?

Job's friends came to offer comfort and sympathy but something went terribly wrong. Rather than receiving comfort, Job became more irritated and frustrated. Why did things not go as intended and what can we learn from this situation?

When going through difficult circumstances and suffering, one of the most dangerous conversations is the one that we have with ourselves. Struggling to find the why in our circumstances can lead us to discontent, despair and depression if our internal conversations are not governed by the truth of the Word of God. Worry, anger, complaining, despair, and depression are all by products of unbiblical thinking, unbiblical expectations, and discontent with the circumstances that God has allowed to come into our lives.

Trials and suffering sometimes last longer than we anticipated or they may come in waves. Can we continue to trust God when he doesn't take our suffering away as quickly as we think that he should? Can we trust him when the suffering comes in waves instead of being taken away?

However, this book has a rich message concerning the nature of life, the nature of man and the nature of God.
