We speak of Job in glowing terms and say that he never sinned by turning his back on God when he faced his trials. The truth is that Job questioned God and lamented his trials. He wished he had never been born. The real lesson of the story of Job is that despite his mortal limitations he didn’t give up and he humble accepted his subservient position when challenged by the Lord and that despite his mortal limitations the Lord accepted Job as he humbled himself and repented of his doubts.
