Job 36-37 Our Heart's Response


How we respond in our hearts to God, whether He’s permitting suffering or bringing blessings into our lives, is everything to God. 

 

My commentary says, “The hypocrites only heap up wrath as they harden themselves against God.  No matter how much God disciplines them, they refuse to cry out for help.  But the humble in heart get God’s message and turn from their sins…. Job’s actions may have been right – he wasn’t the sinner his friends described him to be – but his attitude was wrong … Job was slowly moving toward a defiant, self-righteous attitude that was not at all healthy.  It was this know-it-all attitude that God exposed and destroyed when He appeared to Job and questioned him.”

 

Father, I want to remain humble before You.  You are God and I count it an indescribable privilege just to be able to pray to You.  You owe me nothing.  Your grace and mercy are more than I could ever dare ask or imagine.  Thank You for Your love!

 

Your Brother In Christ,

Gary Ford
