Job

Much has been written about the book of Job… its accuracy is a different matter. Without adding too much of another voice to the commentary, I make this one observation… in Job 10: 16, while speaking to God, Job says:

…You hunt me like a fierce lion, and again you show yourself awesome against me.

As I was reading this, and some of Job’s other comments, an account from the New Testament kept coming to mind:

Now as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from birth, and his disciples asked him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him…” 

Maybe the biggest mistake people make (as did Job) is to think God is against them. No, God is for us.

God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

God is good, God is faithful, God is love. God is not out to get you… he is on your side.   Please… dig in and read it for yourself.
