Hebrews 10:35-36:

5 Keys to Job’s Endurance

2. Job trusted in God
Job 13:15:
Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.
Come What May!
Trust, not Worry
Faith, not Doubt
Psalm 42:11:
Why are you downcast, Oh my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
3. Job kept his eyes on eternal things.
Job 19:25-27:
For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth; and after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God, Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!
Romans 8:18:
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
2 Corinthians 4:17:
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
4. Job understood that God was testing his faith
Job 23:10:
But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.

Job 23:12:
I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the Words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
