Episode Summary:

In Job 13–14, Job declares his unshakable trust in God amid suffering. His words—“Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him”—show a faith that endures beyond understanding. This episode explores how hope can survive hardship and how Job’s longing for life beyond death points us to Jesus.

Devotional Application:

Job’s cry reminds us that faith doesn’t erase pain—it outlasts it. When you can’t make sense of what God allows, trust who He is: good, just, and faithful through every storm.

Reflection Prompts:

1. Where do you need to say, “Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him”?
   
   
   
   


2. How can you bring honesty and faith together in your prayers this week?

Closing Encouragement:

Job’s words echo through generations, reminding us that faith isn’t about avoiding hardship—it’s about trusting God through it. When life breaks you, let it break you open before Him. The same God who sustained Job will strengthen you, and the same Savior who conquered the grave will one day make all things new.
