Job 13-14

“Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face” (13:15). Job was angry, but instead of turning his back on God, he continued to hope for God to answer him. In contrast to his honesty, Job accused his friends of “speaking wickedly on God’s behalf” – speaking for God, as if they perfectly understood all God’s ways (13:7). Job admitted that he didn’t know much about life beyond death (ch 14), but he still longed to be “remembered” by the Creator (14:13).

“You will call and I will answer you” (14:15). Deep faith in God does not mean we have all the answers, but that we long for and respond to God’s presence.
