Job 12 and Job 13 - Boldness With God

5 “A person who has an easy life has no appreciation for misfortune.
He thinks it is the fate of those who slip up.
Job 12:5 (GW)

3 However, I want to speak to the Almighty,
and I wish to argue my case in front of God.
Job 13:3 (GW)

23 How many crimes and sins have I committed?
Make me aware of my disobedience and my sin.
Job 13:23 (GW)

Reflection of B:

When we are too comfortable and have not gone through suffering we may not be able to empathize with the sufferings of others, just like the friends of Job.

Job was truthful and bold with God and dared to argue with God in a sensible manner. This showed he knew his God better than his 3 friends who accused him.


Dear Lord,

Thank You for the example of Job, where we can always be truthful with You on how we feel. We can't hide away from You anyway. Therefore, You know the things that have gone through my mind and how I feel about certain things and people. I pray that I will stay strong and be in Your will all the time. Grant me wisdom in my work and teach me how to deal with people I come in contact with in my life.
In Jesus' name I humbly plead. Amen.
