* Job shows us how to properly handle pain.

* In the midst of pain don’t ask how you can get out but what you can get out of it.

* Our reaction to pain can be either positive or negative:

* 1) Positive - this is about ACCEPTANCE.

* Job accepted the fact he was not Creator and he was subordinate to Him.

* He also accepted his lot in life.

* 2) Negative - this is about CONTROL.

* If we don’t accept God being in control then we try to assume control when we experience pain.

* If we blame God we’re acting as though He owes us an explanation - He does not.

* If we love God for what He gives us we’ll hate Him for what He takes from us.
