Job 30: Faith in the Darkness of Suffering
Series: Reading the Bible Daily with Dave Author: Dave Jenkins Date: Sunday, February 1, 2026 Scripture: Job 30Show Summary
In Job 30, Job moves from remembered honor to present humiliation. Once respected, he is now mocked. Once blessed, he now feels broken and overwhelmed. This chapter is one of the rawest portraits of suffering in all of Scripture—and yet it reminds us that bringing our grief to God is not unbelief, but faith.As we walk through Job’s lament, we are reminded that God welcomes honest cries from His people and that this passage ultimately points us to Jesus Christ, the Man of Sorrows, who entered the deepest darkness to bring suffering sinners into eternal light.Audio Player
