Wayne Stiles Walks Where Job Once Did—and Brings His Story to Life

Wayne Stiles walked where Job likely once did and brings his story to life. While giving viewers an up-close tour of and a look at the lands where the Old Testament figure lived, Wayne shared some fresh and powerful insight into Job’s suffering and the knowledge and ways of God. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear and see the story of Job brought to life.

Life is a gift bestowed upon us by the Creator. However, not every moment in life is full of rainbows and roses. Everyone will face hardships and trials. Pain and suffering are very, very real. It’s an unfortunate and inescapable fact that everyone will encounter struggles at one time or another. But it’s how we handle those struggles and what we do amid those unfortunate situations and circumstances that count.

The Bible makes this incredibly clear, especially in the story of Job. Job was a man of God who was materially extremely blessed. He had a large family and lots of friends. However, all of that was soon taken from Job. He was being tested to see if he would continue worshipping and praising the Lord amid his struggles and heartache.

Despite instructions from friends and even his wife to curse God and die, Job remained faithful. However, Job still questioned God, asking why he endured so much suffering.

In the video, Wayne explores the Timna Valley in southern Israel. The camera gives wide, sweeping views of the awe-inspiring landscape, making you feel as if you can almost reach out and touch one of those many beautiful rock formations. The landscapes captured in the nine-and-a-half-minute clip are nothing short of awe-inspiring, something to behold.

While walking through the stunning area, Wayne periodically stops and reads from the Bible, literally bringing verses to life and giving viewers a look at the land where Job likely underwent his great struggles.

Throughout the video, Wayne shares valuable words of wisdom about the reason for Job’s suffering.

“God never told Job why it all happened to him, and Job couldn’t have understood it anyway, even if he was told,” Wayne says. “Knowing why wasn’t what Job needed. What he needed was a deeper appreciation of the God who is in control.”
