Here we are again: Job rails against sinful people and asks, "How long, oh God, will the wicked prosper?" Bildad rails against Job in chapter 25, and Job rebukes Bildad briefly but strongly and then turns his words onto the greatness of God. Then the climax - in Job 28: 23-28 he says, "God understands its way, And He knows its place. For He looks to the ends of the earth And sees everything under the heavens. When He imparted weight to the wind And meted out the waters by measure, When He set a limit for the rain And a course for the thunderbolt, Then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out. And to man He said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.'"
Job complains, is miserable, can be proud, but keeps coming around to God - it's about God - I will focus on God - God is great.
Job 28:28"And to man He said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.'" Job gets a little proud... But still to God he cries out.. Faithful man of God. Friends saying what they think is right.. I wanted to keep going again today. How I love the Word of God.. and that is a blessing so much to me I can remember not loving Him the way I do now grateful, humbled, and in awe can not say all that there is to say. God is so good. Alive is the Word ... amazing how you get to know Him by letting Him speak. WOW WOW!

For He looks to the ends of the earth
And sees everything under the heavens.
When He imparted weight to the wind
And meted out the waters by measure,
When He set a limit for the rain
And a course for the thunderbolt,
Then He saw it and declared it;
He established it and also searched it out.
And to man He said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
And to depart from evil is understanding.'"

Amen, Job - may we do the same!
