Job 30:1-31:40

Posted at: 10:00 am

Job concludes his lament by asking why he has to be mocked by young fools.  Is it not enough that he feels separated from God? Job then concludes by affirming that he has worshiped God alone and that he has worked to do God’s will on this earth.

I was surprised at how New Testament Job’s words sounded.  He says that he has resisted lust, treated servants fairly, helped the poor, the orphans and the widows, and had no other gods but God.  Jesus called his followers to love the Lord your God and to love your neighbors.  Two thousand years earlier Job understood that these were God’s rules.

Any time we are truly listening to God we will be called to love God and love our neighbors; I would argue that if we feel called to any other activity then we are missing the point of what God is saying.
