Job 14:1...That first section stood out to me too!<br /><br /><br />Job 14:14 Can the dead live again? If so, this would give me hope through all my years of struggle, and I would eagerly await the release of death.<br /><br />Thankfully, the answer to this is yes! We can have hope through our years of struggle. Our struggles are temporal, our hope and our reward is eternal.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045517118866436340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-77399769047354989062016-01-21T22:34:00.153-06:002016-01-21T22:34:00.153-06:00This stood out for me:

However we do have the confidence and assurance of salvation through Christ (a free gift-as you mentioned) something we cannot earn and cannot buy and certainly did not deserve.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770898936799604859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-87966683116692741362016-01-21T13:42:40.538-06:002016-01-21T13:42:40.538-06:00Job has a great response to the accusations levele...Job has a great response to the accusations leveled against him in this passage.<br /><br />Job dresses down his friends, questioning their wisdom on the matters at hand and noting even the animals understand the Sovereignty of God (Job 12:7-10). Job then tells his friends they were better comfort when they were silent (Job 13:4-5). To drive the point home, Job asks his friends if they argue on God's behalf, as if God needed them to rationalize His Authority (Job 13:7-9). This should have shut them up but we are only 1/3 of the way through this book!Funkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14307045351525759918noreply@blogger.com
