Sitting in a temporary shelter with some survivors of a devastating tornado

 

Imagine that you are sitting in a temporary shelter with some survivors of a devastating tornado, hurricane or
other natural disaster. These people have had family members killed and many have experienced physical harm
to their own bodies. Use the book of Job (and the NISB Bible notes, especially the excursus “Job and His Three
Friends”) to respond to those wondering, where is God in all of this?
Are there answers given in the book of Job that can help make sense of the suffering?
In your response, deal with the following questions: are any of the issues raised by Job’s “friends” (in chaps 4-11
or 20-22) helpful for Job’s situation? Why or why not?
What about God’s response to Job (in chaps 38-42)? How does the story end? Finally, what life lessons (if any)
can be taken from the book of Job?
