The adversities of Job shall not be interpreted as a judgment from God or redemptive action. He has done nothing to deserve the physical pain and horrible disease. He had mourned for his misery and protested to God. He had seen how the wicked prosper. In spite of personal disasters and unanswered queries, he realized, “the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil, that is understanding” (Job 28:28).
