Bildad
has progressed beyond calling Job to account for his unconfessed sins
to charging Job with being evil and not knowing God. Job
admits that has gone astray but says that his error is his concern
alone. Job knows that God has allowed everything to happen.
Job relates that he not only has lost all his wealth, possessions, and children, he has lost his friends, prestige, and honor. While in the rock bottom of this pit, Job has an “epiphany moment”!
“I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And
after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I
myself will see him with my own eyes – I and not another. How my heart yearns within me!”
There is a great line in Job 21.
"Can anyone teach knowledge to God..."
Sometimes we want to tell God what to do, like we know what's best for us. HA!
