June 12: Job 6-8

Job 6-8

 “What is man that Thou art concerned about him, that Thou dost examine him every morning, and try him every moment?” (7:17). Job suspected that God was involved somehow in his suffering (at the very least, God had the ability to stop it). Job didn’t want to be the object of God’s interest; he wanted to hide from the “watcher of men” (v20). But God was indeed interested and watching, and Job’s test of faith was being broadcast to angels.

 Weak and made of dust, our faith (or lack of it) interests all of heaven. When we endure, heaven rejoices.
