The world offers us a mirror to see ourselves in an ever-changing reflection of what it tells us. In the prologue of Job, God gives us a window to see a never-changing image of how God sees us.

This devotion will suggest that “steadfastness” or “perseverance” is the right notion for James 5:11, not “the patience” of Job. Furthermore, this suggests that James is referring to Canonical Job in its unity, not just the first part of Job.

In Job 38 Yahweh accepts Job's challenge to justify himself on condition that Job can prove that he has standing to bring suit against Almighty God. 

Wisdom literature gives us a window into the sufferings of Christ, which help us to understand our own trials as our divine vocation.

Job presents an anticipation of the New Heavens and New Earth contrary to many exegetical proposals.
