Pastor David Jeremiah eloquently explns, “Though he was faced with greater calamities than most individuals would ever experience, Job never rebelled agnst God. He grew impatient at times and even had to have his perspective corrected by divine wisdom. But in the midst of his trials, a prayer of surrer was frequently on his lips.” Jeremiah, David.
