The world teaches us to revolve our actions, thoughts, and beliefs around ourselves, because life is "It's all about you!" According to the 'world', we become the author and hero of our story. But the Bible teaches a different view, one where another hero—the actual Author of life—takes center stage. In the book of Job, God displays his power and reminds us that we exist not for ourselves but to glorify the God who deserves all worship and praise.

It's a chance to escape the isolation that often comes from divorce.
