“We accept good things from God;
and should we not accept evil?”
-Job
It is given us by God the duty to reject evil. To rail against it. To raise a fist in protest. Even to lay down one’s life. There is no intellectual easy way here. Job, grant me your grit.

Job was a man of heroic faith because like St. Augustine he questioned his own shortsightedness and lack of understanding rather than question the goodness of God. The goodness of God you can take to the bank; our limited understanding is only that- limited.
