“If Job’s friends had remained dumb and reverent with what they did not understand, as they did during the first seven days, they would have been a great sustaining to him. They too would have approached the place Job ultimately reached and would not have been rebuked by God.”
- Remaining dumb and reverent with what we do not understand during this lockdown is probably the best response to the world's insanity.
“We are apt to forget that there is always an element in human suffering never there before. ”
- The covid pandemic with all its vaccines, mandates, political fallout, etc. around the world has certainly introduced that element in human suffering never there before.
- Let's stop trying to figure things out and trust that God alone knows; so let's go to Him.
“...all they did was to take to “chatter-magging” and telling Job that he was wrong.”
- Isn't that what we do on Facebook and Twitter? "Chatter-magging"? I like that.
“If redemption is not the basis of human life, and prayer man’s only resource, then we have “followed cunningly devised fables”...
“We are not intended to understand life. Life makes us what we are, but life belongs to God. If I can understand a thing and can define it, I am its master.”
