job

god has led me quite alot thru the book of job lately. i never really liked this book. i always thought how unfair. but was it? god is god and he can do what HE wants. i remember eva saying one night when she was a teenager she read job and got so mad she thru the book across the room and from that moment on till even now she has suffered with arthritis. scary...........while reading this verse stood out to me. job 30 20-31 ''i cry to you, but you do not answer me, i stand up and you regard me. but you have become cruel to me. with the strength of your hand you oppose me. you lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride on it. you spoil my success. for i know that you will bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. surely he would not stretch out his hand against a heap of ruins. if they cry out when he destrys it. have i not wept for him who was in trouble? has not my soul greived for the poor? but when i looked for good evil came to me. and when i waited for light then came darkness.my heart is in turmoil and cannot rest. days of affliction confront me. i go about morning, but not to the sun. istand up in the assembly and cry out for help. a am a brother of jackals. and a companion of ostiches,my skin grows black and falls from me.my bones burn with fever. my harp is turned to mourning. and my flute to the voice of those that weep. and then i read the end of the matterjob 4210 and the lord restored jobs losses, when he prayed for his friends, indeed the lord gave job twice as much as he had before.it is in no way implying i am like job because i could never measure up but we all have job like experiences and that is why this book is in here, for us as an example. praise god.
