• Job 22:5 (ASV)

---

Seriously, is anyone else reading and getting angry at the way Job's "friends" are so quick to judge him? The funny thing is I see how people now a days do the exact same thing Eliphaz and the two others did to Job. They "preach" empty scriptures because they have it memorized and know how to talk the Christian talk. They know about God's attributes and throw it in your face while looking down on you for being, um I don't know... HUMAN!?!?

The truth is, the more I read the angrier I get at them, but the more I see how Job truly knew God. He knew who God really was and was so secure in his relationship with Him that he had every right to be confused and/or not understand why these things were happening to him. I mean, seriously, how many of us would hear the news that all of our children are dead and immediately fall on our knees and worship God?
