Prayers that Demand Justification

Day 97: Job 11-14

The next friend to speak to Job is Zophar. Zophar basically tells job to stop sinning and repent to God for God is merciful and will forgive him. He encourages Job to stop saying that he's innocent and just confess his sins to the Lord. But Job argues his innocence. I really appreciate Job. He talks to God as God, but he also approaches him with questions, asking God to justify his actions and make known to Job what is going on. Job's prayer/conversation with God shows us that there are many different ways we can talk to God, even when we ask him to explain himself. And God can take it.

I am Kara Poe Alexander. I began this blog to read the Bible anew, with fresh eyes and an open mind. I hope to grow closer to God, to learn how these ancient stories are still relevant today, and to develop a spiritual discipline of Bible study.
