"Right conduct flows from right character. Job models for us measured conduct through measured speech and quiet strength, all of which flow from his great integrity"
R. Mark Janacek - WTRD p.28
"We grieve as uniquely as we are made. The grief of one's soul is like a finger dipped in the ashes of tragedy, pressed onto the parchment of one's life."
R. Mark Janacek - WTRD p.42
" In the aftermath of devastating loss...we find ourselves shipwrecked on the shores of a place about which we know nothing. Slowly in our weakness, we wobble from the wreckage onto the shores of the unknown, even as we hear the voice of God calling us to His strength."
R. Mark Janacek - WTRD p. 60
"Enduring God's delay was yet another great test for Job and perhaps the one he feared most. Indeed, for those of us who have suffered a great loss, we, too, often face the adversity of delay. However, we take courage because God is never late, never short of that which we need in times of trial."
R. Mark Janacek - WTRD p. 153
"Cataclysmic personal loss is painful, often confusing, and disrupts the cadence of one's life... dreams are shattered, and lives are irrevocably and forever changed." "Only God can bring blessing from great loss."
R. Mark Janacek - WTRD p.176
"The story of Job is more than just a biblical 'happily-ever-after'; it is a promise from the Creator God of the universe that, although mankind is a fallen race residing on a fallen planet, God is God. Indeed, there is no other. God is Good. But wait, God is not done yet."
R. Mark Janacek -WTRD p.174
"From the deep reaches of the soul, we contend with the brutal hardship of the loss(es), waves of unimaginable pain, and the realization of knowing that apart from God, we are utterly helpless. In all of this, the comfort of sorrows is Immanuel - God with us.
R. Mark Janacek - WTRD p. 13
