That the book of Job is superb poetry doesn’t negate the fact that it is also dramatic biography. 

Job’s longing for a Mediator and confident hope in a Redeemer point us surely to the coming Christ.

One fact Job will teach us: You won’t really know God is all you need until God is all you have. 

God’s mysterious questions are more worthwhile than man’s professed answers to life. 

If the purpose of life is a life of purpose, we will need to have God’s wisdom to know what it is. 

“Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other” (Isa 45:22).

Light of the pilgrim heart, Star of the coming day! Arise with morning beams, And chase our griefs away” (E. Denny). 

“Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord!” (Deut 33:29). 

“The nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall perish, and those nations shall be utterly ruined” (Isa 60:12). 

Those who would attack God’s people might like to know beforehand that God is for us (Rom 8:31).
