God is just... therefore there's hope


10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.11 My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside.12 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.

I've been wondering why Job has not turned against God, after all that he has gone through. How can he have the amazing faith in God through all his suffering? And it's only when I read the verses above that it hit me. It's because Job knew God. He has "treasured the words of his mouth more than.. food." Job knew that God was Just and unchanging and that, I think is what gives him hope. Because Job has done no wrong... even if he didn't understand why he's suffering, he has hope and faith that God will redeem him in the end.
