Such was the case with Job - a righteous man who had done everything right - but who is put to a horrible test by the devil. And worst of all, God seems strangely silent.

There is a reason for the expression, "having the patience of Job." And sometimes we, too are called to that patience. For reasons we may never understand, God may seem silent to us as well. But that doesn't mean He is absent or that He has forsaken us. And we must never lose hope or be discouraged.
