Job Trusts God No Matter What

Job was a very good man who loved God very much. He had lots of animals, a nice home, and ten children he loved.

But one terrible day, bad things started happening. All his animals were taken away. Then his house fell down and his children died. Job was SO sad.

Then Job got really sick with sores all over his body. Ouch! His wife said, 'Just give up on God!' But Job said, 'No! God gives us good things and sometimes hard things. I will still trust Him.'

Job's friends came to visit. They said, 'You must have done something bad for all this to happen!' But Job knew he hadn't done anything wrong.

Job was confused. He asked God, 'Why did this happen?'

God answered from a big storm! God asked Job lots of questions: 'Were you there when I made the world? Do you know how I made the stars? Can you tell the ocean where to stop?'

Job realized something important: God is SO big and SO smart that we can't always understand everything. But we can always TRUST Him because He loves us.

Guess what happened next? God made Job better! He gave Job even MORE animals than before—twice as many! And God gave Job ten more children. Job lived a long, happy life.

The lesson is: even when we don't understand why hard things happen, we can still trust that God loves us and has a good plan!
