Job 15 What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not clear to us?
(Job 15:9 ESV)
Eliphaz’ question was a good one – if only he had not meant it as a rhetorical device. Job did have access to a kind of knowledge that his three “comforters” did not. Job trusted in his creator. Job was not sinless. He admitted that he had sinned in his youth, and that God was not holding him accountable for those sins. He knew forgiveness. A person can endure much suffering and still stay true to God if that person has a relationship with God based on grace. Do you know Job’s secret? Do you know God’s forgiveness?
LORD, give us the wisdom to trust you, and to rely upon your grace.
