Job 20 - Day 1025 (link to reading)
Scripture: Job 20:1-5 Commentary (thewarehouse.blog): The cruel misjudgment of man stems from an ignorant and arrogant attitude. I’ve written this many times over in this series on Job, but it remains true – his friends understood truth, but misunderstood their application of it. I would argue that of all his friends, Zophar misunderstood Job the most. He really has no foundation for grace. To his credit, the grace of Jesus is offensive and foreign to our natural selves. It makes absolutely no sense. Zophar believes that the wicked will always be punished by God because He is righteous. He also believes the righteous will always be rewarded by God. Zophar has effectively taken the “mystery” out of God in an attempt to explain something he doesn’t know. Have you ever met anyone like this? Application: It's impossible to know everything about a person unless they choose to share it with us. Instead of being critical, let's offer them empathy and kindness, just as we would hope to receive in their situation. Prayer: Lord have mercy... Comments are closed.
