“While the patience of Job is often spoken of, he has never impressed me as being particularly patient but he was particularly faithful, even though he had none of the New Testament explanations of sufferings (branches must be pruned, thorns are necessary, gold must be refined, we share in the sufferings of Christ, and other reasons, about which more later). To us who have the New Testament, it would seem that Job had very little to go on, yet he kept talking to God.” ~Elisabeth Elliot,
A Path Through Suffering. Ann Arbor, Michigan: Vine Books, 1990.
