Job 7-9

“What is mankind that you make so much of them, that you give them so much attention, that you examine them every morning and test them every moment?” (7:17). Job didn’t really want to be ignored by God, but his suffering made him feel that God was testing him without a clear objective. Struggling to find a ‘why’ in all his pain, Job longed for a “mediator” to make things right (9:33). He knew that the God who created the stars was the One with answers (9:9).

“When he passes me, I cannot see him” (9:11). We can’t always see or understand God’s ways, but He is good and trustworthy. “His wisdom is profound; his power is vast” (9:4).
