Job is hurting. Job is ready to be done. He does hold his friend accountable for speaking so poorly to him. His other friend, Bildad, pipes up and insists that if Job is really innocent and righteous like he says he is, then God will make it right. He’s right – if you’ve the text before, you know how it ends. He has such an unkind tone to his words though. Instead of sounding comforting and encouraging about the goodness and righteousness of God, he sounds accusatory and unbelieving of Job.
I don’t have much else right now. I worked today (substitute teacher), learned that my husband’s grandfather is in his last days, and I’m getting ready to take our youngest (Gabe) to the circus. It’s hard enough to connect all the dots in my own day – I don’t have it in me to connect the dots in these chapters.
Please post if you have more insight!
