I did what I was taught to do. I stayed faithful. I prayed. I showed up. I didn’t walk away when it got hard. And still, things didn’t turn out the way I hoped. That’s why the story of Job matters more to me now than it ever did before. Not the beginning. Not the ending. But the middle—where Job keeps saying he didn’t do anything to deserve this. In Hebrew, Job’s language is careful. He isn’t claiming perfection. He’s saying there is a gap between faithfulness and outcome. The Bible never corrects him for noticing that gap. God responds later, but He never says Job imagined the unfairness. If you feel disappointed today—not because you rejected God, but because you trusted Him—Scripture tells you this: disappointment is not rebellion. It is often the cost of taking faith seriously for a long time. #FaithAndDisappointment #Job #BiblicalDepth #LongFaith #ChristianHonesty
