Job’s suffering intensifies as Satan is permitted to strike his body with painful sores. Job remains faithful, but his wife and friends fail to offer meaningful support. His wife urges him to curse God, but Job refuses, holding firm to his belief in God’s sovereignty. The theme explores “faith under fire” and the challenges of standing firm when loved people falter. Job’s story reminds us that perseverance in trials honours God, even amid unanswered questions.
