Week 46 Day 2: Confession and Self-Reproach
Question：Why Did the LORD’s Response Lead Job to Reproach Himself?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
- The LORD challenges Job not to annul His purposes and reveals that His almighty power is beyond human comprehension.
- Job confesses his sin and reproaches himself. Before, he had heard of God by hearsay; now, he has seen God with his own eyes. Therefore, he repents in dust and ashes.
- The LORD’s anger burns against Job’s three friends because they have not spoken rightly about Him, as Job has.
- Job prays for his friends, and the LORD restores his fortunes and gives him twice as much as he had before.
Meditation: My Story
- Identity - God does not explain the reason for Job’s suffering. Instead, He reveals His almighty power and contrasts it with human frailty. What does this stir in me as I consider my position as a created being before the Creator? How does this help me face the suffering I experience?
- Community - Job’s friends’ words failed to comfort him and instead exposed their own shortcomings. Why?
- Identity - What wisdom do we see in the Book of Job?
