20060731 Bible Study for the Day- Job 9:25-10:22
Now Job turns to his own complaint. Did he do something to incite God’s wrath? He is not sure of what it might be, so he calls out to God for that answer. And what is that answer?

Such is human nature that we constantly assume that if bad things happen to us it must mean that God is punishing us for something we have done wrong. That was Job’s friend Eliphaz’s conclusion when he came to console Job for everything he had suffered. Surely Job was guilty of some offense against God, so Job could redeem himself by simply acknowledging his sin, confessing to God, and trying that much harder to lead a pious life. Continue reading
