Although Life can offer many blessings, it also can bring us many sorrows – sometimes those sorrows are so deep, they drive us over the threshold of inconsolable grief. Job was a man who was brought to that abyss of sorrow – who not only offers us insight into our Lord Christ and the sorrow that He had to endure, but Job provides for each and every one of God's elect lessons – so that we may cope whenever the heavy hand of a frowning providence visits us.
