Despite Job’s statement that “the LORD gave and the LORD has taken away,” Scripture does not teach that God is the author of pain and suffering. Scripture is clear that suffering and death are ultimately the result of sin (Genesis 3). In Job’s case, Satan was behind the tragedies, masterminding the pain (Job 1:6–12). God divinely allows suffering to happen and, in His sovereignty, even uses suffering for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). I love the way that Matt Hammitt (former lead singer of Sanctus Real) puts it: “God doesn’t give and take away from us, He gives and takes for us. He knows exactly what we need, and what we don’t need, in His perfect time.” Even when we don’t see how God is working or understand why He is doing what He is doing, we can trust His heart to be good always.
