About This Quote
In the book of Job, a man is tested by a series of calamities. He loses his health, his children, and his possessions. In the end, he is asked a series of questions that reveal the true nature of God. Job’s response is, “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” In other words, God has absolute power over everything that happens to us.
In our modern society, we often fear failure and do our best to avoid it. We believe that God will not forgive us if we fail. But in Job’s answer to the question about why he suffered so much, he does not fear failure or God's wrath.
He believes in a God who is so powerful that nothing can stop him from accomplishing his goals.
