Short description

Devotional and thought-provoking pieces concerning the nature and character of God and Job as seen in the Bible's book of Job.

Extended description

We tend to ask, "Where is God when the roof falls in?"
The Accuser asked God, "Where do you think Job would go if the roof fell in?"
God asked Satan, "Where do you think?"
The great Cynic said, "Away from you!"
God said, "You're wrong!" and went on to prove it. (Read more) We tend to ask, "Where is God when the roof falls in?"
The Accuser asked God, "Where do you think Job would go if the roof fell in?"
God asked Satan, "Where do you think?"
The great Cynic said, "Away from you!"
God said, "You're wrong!" and went on to prove it.
Job didn't know it but he was fighting God's battle for him against the world-spirit. He
made it clear that humans can be incredibly gallant and can remain loyal to God even
through tough times.
But it wasn't a quiet, always submissive Job that brought honor to God!
Job isn't the only human that has suffered greatly and remained true. You can see them
everywhere you look. Among the other things the book of Job teaches us is this: We can make
God angry with impenitent wickedness but we can make him proud of us and willing to risk
his reputation on us. If God's favorite virtue is gallantry he must be pleased with so much he sees
in this world today.
