SCRIPTURE: JOB 10
JOB ASKED GOD THESE QUESTIONS:
- Tell me what charges you have against me. (v. 2)
- Does it please you to oppress me, to spurn the work of your hands, while you smile on the schemes of the wicked? (v. 3)
- Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees? (v, 4)
- Are your days like those of a mortal or your years like those of a man that you must search out my faults and probe after my sin though you know that I am not guilty and that no one can rescue me from your hand? (vs. 5-7)
- Will you now turn and destroy me whom your hands had shaped and made me? (v. 8)
- Will you now turn me to dust again when you had molded me like clay? (v. 9)
- Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese, clothe me withs kin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews? (vs. 10-11)
- Why did you stalk me like a lion and display your awesome power against me? (v. 16)
- Why did you bring new witnesses against me and increase your anger toward me? (v. 17)
- Why did you bring me out of the womb? (v. 18)
- Are not my few days almost over? (v. 20)
THOUGHTS:
Job began to develop self-pity. Due to his frustrations, he falsely accused that God was out to get him. Do not jump into conclusion about life in general. Never doubt God because he wants only the best for your life. When you are enduring great pain or is struggling, don’t assume the worst. Some greater good may come from it.
