Last time, we were introduced to the man called Job.
We learned that God had high praise for Job’s righteousness, but Satan countered with questioning Job’s motives. With God’s permission, Satan then sent calamity upon Job’s possessions and even killed all of his children. In spite of the horror of all that was happening around him, [...]
