Idolatry is having something else in your life that you put above almost everything else. This could be money, sports, fame, etc. This can make it hard to focus on God and his word. So it's making an idol out of something that isn't God, and it is a big thing that many people deal with.
Why was the story of Job, and how can we use it as an example of how to live?
This story shows how a faithful man isn't made by what he has or is given to him by God.

I feel like if this happened to anyone nowadays, we would be so bitter and angry.
