The book of Job is one of the oldest books in existence.

It is also one of the most troubling, encouraging, and infuriating, books ever written.

I read it often.

Thanks again for reading and commenting.

I guess I am looking with human eyes, though. Trials can leave you longing for the next world, trying to keep the vines and weeds and worries, riches and cares from choking my life in this world. Yet, sometimes it just seems like, “Job 13:28 “So man wastes away like something rotten, like a garment eaten by moths,” But consider this, “Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail”! Isaiah 51:6 If even the atmosphere and planet wear out what hope is there for my body and mind? My hope is in His salvation.
