In his responses, whether rants or cries or reason, Job always remains tethered to God, to the truth God is supreme and God’s ways are above and beyond man’s ways. This foundation leaks out here and there. Verse 22: Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since he judges even the highest?
Job’s words and arguments are with his friends. Job doesn’t believe them and he doesn’t receive their counsel. He is not moved to repentance by their words. His impatience with them seems to be growing. Yet there is constantly and always faith in God. The Lord remains Job’s anchor amidst the storm…
When storms come, who is your anchor? More pointedly is the Lord God your anchor?
My meditations begin with this piercing question… Is God –Father, Son and Holy Spirit- the anchor of my life or is it something else?
O, God, I pray it is You… Amen.
