October 14, 2012 – Job 29

It sounds as if Job has finally been broken, that he feels God has left him.  “When the Almighty was still with me”.  Maybe he has thought that all the time and I never saw it, but I was always under the impression that Job thought, even though all these things have gone wrong, God is still with me.  Having good things in life is not a sign that God is with you.  But Job appears to have caved.  After being bombarded with his friends saying God is not with you because you have lost all your material things, he seems to have given in to their argument.
