Minute Meditations of Hope and Encouragement #136

In chapter 6 Job expressed his deep existential agony. He was “crushed” v9 in 9:32 he sees no hope of coming to an understanding with God. He sees God as infinite and himself as painfully finite. “God is not a mortal like me, so I cannot argue with him or take him to trial. Job 9:32 NLT in chapter 10 Job is clawing his way through the valley of shadows. In verses 1 -7 he is sobbing in the ear of God he is pleading before the throne of God and he is appealing to the heart of God. “I am disgusted with my life. Let me complain freely. My bitter soul must complain. …What do you gain by oppressing me? Why do you reject me, the work of your own hands, while smiling on the schemes of the wicked? … Is your lifetime only as long as ours? Is your life so short although you know I am not guilty, no one can rescue me from your hands.” (Job 10:1)
