So socialized to religion, to tradition, to authoritative friends, I couldn't question God when the bottom of my world fell out. These words. Points me to wrestle well with God. Job 19:25. I know my Redeemer lives and One Day He will stand on the earth. The most amazing thought. 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 etched in destructible books but engraved on durable stone for all generations. His good counselors were none. May we learn to wrestle real with God. What does that mean? Jacob knew in all his messy life.
