Job 9-18

Read Job quickly. See the themes and hear the arguments. Do i feel like i have a good grasph on what this book is about? Maybe not, but i;m getting there. Job seems to have a breakthrough, 'tho He slay me yet i will trust in Him.' Yes! Who else can we trust, where ele can we turn bu the Lord, even when He slays us. Give me this tire iron faith! But Job's lack of access to God makes him despair. Thank God for access, thank God that i live on this side of the cross!

Job's friends just live in the world they can see. Their joy is based on their circumstances, and so must Job's be. Job has suffered so must have done wrong. Thank God for better friends than Job!
