MISIDENTIFYING WITH JOB
Monday, July 11, 2016
The Book of Job; Exodus 3:14;
Ezekiel 14:20; James 5:11
Read The Book of
Job again.
I initially read
the book as an unsaved boy when Aunt Edith McGee gave me my first Bible at
about age 10 or 11. In the ensuing 70 years I’ve read it periodically, though
not since our church’s 90 day Bible reading marathon. From youth to that decade
ago I did just as most people do when reading or viewing drama or documentary –
I indentified with character of my choosing, in this case of Scripture, Job.
This reading was
different.
The reason being
is that for me the book is no longer about Job, and definitely not about me
identifying with him.
The book is about
Almighty Jehovah God letting Job and all we since know that He is “I AM THAT I
AM”, Absolute Sovereign Creator, Sustainer, King of kings.
Obviously I have
repented of my previous mindset resulting in a different view. For this I thank
Him.
