Job chapter 4

Eliphaz Calls Angels "Bad Flyers"

• Breaking the silence, Eliphaz throws his two cents in. He says that Job must have done something wrong to merit this punishment. Innocents, he says, are never punished.
• We  sometimes  do the same thing  we judge  a person  before we know  the  reason  why  something  is  going on  in their lives.  Job had  done  no wrong  but  his  friend  was  quick  to judge  him  that he  had sinned  against god.  I  wonder  how  often  we  do  this  ourselves?  
• We that  are  children of God  will look  at  others and  we look  on the  outside and  judge their lives  from  what  we  see  there.  If God  just looked  on the  outside  we all would  be  with  out mercy  because  none  of us  can  say that  we  are  worthy of  His  mercy and grace.
• And hey, if God even gets annoyed at his angels, how can humans pass the test? Basically, humans have no chance.
• Eliphaz  was saying  that  we are  far  beneth God and his angels but then  we  can also say  that just like  some  today  Eliphaz just  wanted to him  himself  talk  when  he didn't  know  what  he was  talking about.  Some  of  what  he says  is true if  we keep  sinning  and  don't  asked God  to forgive  us  then  we  can  be punshed but  if  we confess our sins  to  Him  he  is just and will to forgive us.  Eliphaz doen't  know  God's  greater  pupose in Job's  life just  as  we  don't  know sometimes  why things  happen to us.  God knows  the  reason  why and  all we  need  to  understand is that  it is in God's  plan.  Yes  I  know  sometimes  this  is  not  easy to do  andI will say  that  I am  one  of the  onwes  that  it  is hardest  for me  to  understand this.  I want  to know  what  why and  how   of any given problem  in my life or  my families  life  but  I  know  that  God  is with us and I have  to keep the faith and  let  him lead me  and my family one day at a time.
