Job Continues His Answer to Bildad. Job 10

 

Job 10– Job Continues His Answer to Bildad.

 

Job cannot understand why he must suffer while there are wicked men who are not suffering. There are times when we all ask this question.

He wonders whether God sees him in his true condition.

 

There is a Man in the glory who understands. He knows exactly what we feel.

 

Job said that he found himself in a very awkward situation. “God knows that I am not wicked, and yet I cannot get out of His hand. I must go through all this, and I don’t see why I should be put through this.”

 

Job needed a little humility. Patience and humility are a fruit of the Holy Spirit produced in your life through trying experiences. God is going to produce both humility and patience in Job.

 

It wasn’t that Job was a naturally patient man, that quality would have increased his self-confidence and his conceit. His patience broke down, and he was crying out to God in impatience.

 

We see that God was making him patient, and God was giving him humility.

During this time of testing, death was something he desired. He felt that death would put him out of his misery. He wishes for complete oblivion. To wish you hadn’t been born is a complete waste of time, wishing you were dead won’t help either. When people face death, they really want to live.

 

A lot of God’s saints today have proud, hard hearts. Sometimes God must deal with us as He dealt with Job.
