Trials are something everyone faces.

Job 14:1 tells us man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble. Some often say that life is not fair.

Job committed about some of these trials such as sickness, loneliness, disappointment and death. No matter how unfair your present world seems God offers the hope of being in his presence eternally. Have you accepted this offer?
