Job
A blameless man who held on to God through loss
Job was blameless and upright, and he lost his wealth, his children, and his health in a short time. His friends insisted he must have sinned, and Job poured out his grief and questions to God. God answered him from the whirlwind, Job humbled himself, prayed for his friends, and God restored him with twice as much.
Key verse: Job 19:25

What Job teaches you
Faith. You can bring your raw questions to God and still hold on to Him, trusting that your Redeemer lives.
Family. Grieve honestly with those who suffer and sit with them in silence, rather than rushing to explain their pain.
Business and calling. Build a reputation for integrity that holds when everything is taken, because character is the one asset loss cannot remove.
