They are tried and true and tested and through.
Job 7:3 God, You appointed these troubles of mine every night. Tossing and Turning.
Covered with Worms.
It's You.
Job decides to voice his anguish against the realities he correctly sees. But, something is not coming from a good place within Job. A demandingness seeps trickles through this pious man. We do the same, don't we? We make decisions: that's enough. And we listen to friends when we probably shouldn't. Friends who want things to be calm for us, easy for us, fair for us, pleasant for us. What does our Maker want for our lives? He could make it all smooth with the flip of a wrist. But we are all "too easily pleased." We'll stay content in our small sins. A little demandingness is really just standing up for my own rights. I used to wonder if we had any rights in this life. I know now the answer to that question.
