Job was the epitome of suffering. He was made a messenger by God not only to preach the true faith revolving around the oneness and supremacy of God, but also the demonstrate how a believer should never lose faith despite all the tribulations he might have to go through in its pursuit.
He was asked to take in his hand 'a bundle of rushes to strike with' and under no circumstances 'to go back on the oath' he had taken. He remained steadfast and firm in his commitment to his Creator. He was afflicted with a great deal of pain but he never wavered in his faith in God.
Finally, the Lord relieved him and his family of their suffering; they were dying of thirst, when God asked Job to strike the ground and cool water gushed from the earth.
