I read Job before and this time, i went to read the MSG version. The MSG version is very refreshing to read.
“You’ll take delight in God, the Mighty One,
and look to him joyfully, boldly.
You’ll pray to him and he’ll listen;
he’ll help you do what you’ve promised.
You’ll decide what you want and it will happen;
your life will be bathed in light.
To those who feel low you’ll say, ‘Chin up! Be brave!’
and God will save them.
Yes, even the guilty will escape,
escape through God’s grace in your life.”
Like this paragraph here, it shows that Job really understood the grace of God! Amazing as it is, the sentence is " even the guilty will escape, escape through God's grace in your life" in our time, do we still recognize that God's grace can clean us? That God's grace will wash us?
People are dying right and left, groaning in torment.
The wretched cry out for help
and God does nothing, acts like nothing’s wrong!
I cannot help but recognize that we have this problem now. We have so many problems in this world and yet God does nothing, acts like nothing's wrong! Whatever discussed is very similar to what we are facing right now. People sin and dont get punished and yet God does nothin!
One lesson that i learnt here is to walk closely with God and when your friend needs help, go and help Him, encourage Him and rebuke him if necessary!
