Life often blindsides us with devastating moments that shatter our sense of normalcy. The Book of Job reveals that when crisis strikes, we naturally ask why, but God invites us to focus on who He is instead. Job lost everything yet discovered that our relationship with God shouldn't depend on what He gives us, but on His unchanging character. Moving from why to who requires walking with God before crisis hits, standing strong when life doesn't make sense, trusting God over others' opinions, bringing our questions to Him appropriately, and refusing to blame God to justify ourselves. Like clay in the potter's hands, we must trust that the One who created the universe knows what He's doing in our lives, even when we can't understand His ways.
