No Silver Lining in Sight (Job 1:13-22)

The Wisdom Journey with Stephen Davey

How do you respond when life falls apart in a matter of seconds? What do you do when suffering shows up without warning, without explanation, and without a clear silver lining?

In this powerful episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey walks you through one of the most devastating scenes in Scripture—Job 1:13-22. Within the span of a few minutes, Job loses his fortune, his workforce, and all ten of his children. There’s no warning, no divine message from heaven—just one wave of disaster after another. And yet, instead of cursing God, Job falls to the ground and worships.

This episode offers two life-changing lessons: first, that suffering helps us rediscover what really matters; and second, that everything we have is on loan from God. If you’ve ever experienced loss, heartbreak, or disappointment—and wondered where God is in the middle of it—this episode will meet you right where you are.

Job’s story isn’t about neat resolutions. It’s about learning to trust God’s heart, even when you can’t trace His hand.
