Job speaks clearly of how can we judge the judger. Why makes us so special to stand before him with confidence? Is it not the fact that by the words of our fathers that God is to be feared? Can we stand in a pure presence of him? Not even the angels can view him. They cover there faces and there feet. Woe to me that i think i can stand in front of him. If my problems are so huge and think God needs to come to rescue because he has to, then i got it wrong. Job mentions even if i am innocent or pure, my sin is in me. I am guilty. He placed the star, be moves the mountains, and performs wonders that our little minds cannot reason. He snatches and takes away. Who can say, why do you do that?
Although Job was God's prized position, Job spoke of despising his own life. Verse 21-22 "Although i am blameless, i have no concern for myself; i despise my own life. It is all the same; that is why i say, 'he destroys both the blameless and the wicked.'" This is deep and so low for Job. Basically he thinks of God not caring, yet does show that is power is that wide. Job is lost. He struggles to stay clean, stay sane, to be a man of God. He knows that he cannot comfort God as he was man, but just be left as the dust in the ground.
Job is not an easy book to read and is full of wisdom, but man, rereading this from my past, i see a lot that i missed and forgot, and just things i need to work on. I pray for my uncle freddy. I do not fear, but believe. You will shine in the moment of darkness and sin. Make yourself true. Then glad that you have given me this heart father. Christ i hope i make the right moves, im looking to you and do not want to miss out on the blessings. I...i need you in this moment as well in every other. Thank you Abba.
