Scripture Reflection by Sang Sur on Job 11:6-7,10 posted May 22, 2025 - Prayer Tents
Link:
Zophar explains the truth, but it is actually what Job said! It is as if he is just trying to show who's boss, even though he repeats what Job said and believed.
Job recognized is cannot be right before the always-righteous God, and Zophar says the same in a derogatory tone.
Even the criticisms we receive are from God. Let's be grateful to God's wisdom and justice no matter what we face.
6I wish he’d show you how wisdom looks from the inside, for true wisdom is mostly ‘inside.’ But you can be sure of this, you haven’t gotten half of what you deserve. 7“Do you think you can explain the mystery of God? Do you think you can diagram God Almighty? 10If he happens along, throws you in jail then hauls you into court, can you do anything about it?
Job 11:6-7,10 (MSG)

Job responds correctly to the incorrect theology of Bildad. How can any of us be right in comparison to the always-right God? Better is to give up and thank God for His mercies.

Why did the people of Israel come to ruin? Because they followed the ways others lived, turning away from a better standard. Don't people of today do the same?

Our true faith is determined over time, especially as things become well (or at peace where we are). A truly faithful person would honor God and seek Him for more when things are easy and well.

God tends to have mercy when we turn to Him for help. It is those times we should fully turn to Him. There is an end when God will no longer show mercy.
