Job 3-9
As I am reading this selection of chapters, it seems to me that Job (and his friends) are assuming a lot of things about God, and the way the world works. One friend (Bildad, I think) seems to think that Job is being punished - and his children - because they are wicked.
But the beginning of the book denies that line of thought. God did not punish Job. It wasn't about his sin, or any sin.
How often do we assume things, and how easy is it, especially when in pain, and how much trouble we would avoid, if we just admitted we didn't know, and leave it at that.
Amen.
