So socialized to religion and tradition and authoritative friends, I couldn't question God when the bottom of my world fell out. That was where I was. I pretended I was okay. God knows our heart. This. Points me to having integrity. Points me to God. I know my Redeemer lives and One Day He will stand on the earth. Job 19:25. The most amazing thought. Job knew the culture of the day. He understood he needed to be redeemed. His moral piety did not allow him to live like the rest of his community. Back-and-forth dialogue between Job and friends and God. Shut out/ shut down. Job marshals the language of the court. He wants his words not in destructible books but engraved on durable stone for all generations. His good counselors were none. May we learn to listen and wrestle real with a Good God as the God of the universe.
