Thurs.’s Devo - Job’s Plead With God

Read Job 10:1-22 Job loses all restraint. he tells God he hates, loathes his life. He asks God if he is enjoying oppressing him. Then he asks God questions about himself: What do you do all day? Is your day like min? Do you sit around waiting for me to mess up. He wants to know why God took the time to create him and fashion him into the person he is just to destroy him. He realizes that man is made of dust and that he will return to dust. God took all the time and are to put all his body parts together and clothe him in flesh and give him life, but Job can’t future out why. Why did God spend that much time and energy on a man he would destroy. He realizes God has a purpose for preserving his spirit even though everything else is seemingly gone. He realizes that being good is not good enough before a holy God so he wants to know why God created. What is Job here for? Haven’t we all asked these same questions at some time in our lives. I’m sure the people that lived before Jesus really did. Jesus brought us the answer. We are here to do the will of our father and share life with all who live in darkness. Lord, help us to do just that.
