Job 19:1-21:34
Job starts out again by basically telling his friends to back off. These are his problems and his alone. When haven't we acted like this??? He is having a good old-fashioned pity party!
His friends are dishonored that Job would talk like he is talking. He is not wicked, but he is not the first to suffer. ...and Job starts again. He goes on and on and I am hearing 'its not fair.' as the undertone to his words. No. It isn't fair. Satan wanted to prove a point with a righteous man. Now this same man is furious with God. I'd be the same way. It isn't fair! But God is faithful. We just have to get through the anger to see that.
