Comments on: Prizing God above His Gifts: Job’s Message for Today (Part 4) http://www.oldtestamentstudies.org/prizing-god-above-his-gifts-job%e2%80%99s-message-for-today-part-4/ Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:18:01 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Bob McCabe http://www.oldtestamentstudies.org/prizing-god-above-his-gifts-job%e2%80%99s-message-for-today-part-4/comment-page-1/#comment-232 Bob McCabe Tue, 01 Sep 2009 03:00:25 +0000 http://www.oldtestamentstudies.org/?p=1469#comment-232 Kent, I apologize for taking so long to get back with you. Though no one longs to go through what Job did (according Job 7, Job suffered for months), God nevertheless comforts those whom he has regenerated with biblical truth about God's sovereign control, wisdom and grace. While Job has complexities, the overall message is absolutely profound. I will do my last post on Job in the next couple of days. I still have some formatting to finish with this last post. Thanks for your interest in the Psalms. God has used the Psalms to minister to me in both the heights and depths of life. My intentions are to re-visit the Psalms but this will have to wait until the next time I teach my class on Understanding the Psalms. It is time-consuming to attempt to reduce my notes on the Psalms, especially the "messianic" psalms, into manageable blog posts. In order for me to do blog posts with any credibility I need to think in terms of blog posts and not seminary classes. Shalom Kent, I apologize for taking so long to get back with you.

The thing that has struck me about Job when reading the book is that God is trustworthy. Because of His incredible and self-declared creative/sustaining/controlling power coupled with His love, we can trust His sovereign will to be best, just, wise, and most loving. This is an incredible (and really the only) comfort when we do not understand the reasons for the bad things that happen to us or to others we love. Great stuff. Thanks!
