We have become so accustomed to hearing preachers or expositors, as important as that is, that many in the process have abandoned the grand privilege of personally hearing from God’s Word daily. - Ravi Zacharrias

Day 17- Genesis 38; Job 5-7

Genesis 38: I don't get it.  Why does God want brothers-in-law to sleep with sisters-in-law?

I can't hardly stand the suffering of Job.  I can feel his pain and I wonder, too, how could God afflict him who had such faith in him?  I think its sad really, would God have afflicted him less if he was less faithful? 

Hopelessly confused today!

    I guess this is setting up why Jesus had to redeem the sins of the world. Which begs the question...why isn't he back yet?


    I think that Job is having the struggle we all have. It is good to rest comfortably in our faith when times are good, but when times are tough we cry out to God wondering how he could let there be suffering, injustice, unfairness....when he could just as easily take it all away. Then we are tempted to cast aside our faith and do what we want, whenever we want. I am looking for the ultimate lesson of why we shouldn't do this.
