August 31, 2018: Day 20 – Job 20

August 30, 2018: Day 19 – Job 19
Before we get into the meat of this passage I can’t escape this verse: “My breath is repulsive to my wife.” (vs.17) I think when we get to that stage we have some pretty big problems. Job is in that … Continue reading

August 29, 2018: Day 18 – Job 18

August 28, 2018: Day 17 – Job 17
This seems like nothing less than Job speaking out against his friends. He calls his friends: “mockers” in vs. 2, they have “closed minds” vs. 4, he says if they come back to him he will not find a “sensible … Continue reading

The key to this response by Job to his friend is vs.17 where he states: “though there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.” He once again states his innocence even while his friends are telling him … Continue reading

August 25, 2018: Day 14 – Job 14

August 24, 2018: Day 13 – Job 13
There is a bit of a back and forth between Job speaking with his friends and what I think may also be Job speaking to God and asking for a reckoning so that he can be justified before his friends. … Continue reading

August 23, 2018: Day 12 – Job 12
Job once again answers one of his friends, this time it is an answer to Zophar. Job’s answer reflects a fairly common human tendency to think that we are able to manipulate and control God in order to obtain what … Continue reading

August 22, 2018: Day 11 – Job 11
Another friend of Job’s responds. He calls him a babbler and accuses Job of telling the others: “my conduct is pure and I am clean in God’s sight.” To Zophar, the friend, that is not really the case. He makes … Continue reading
