Reflections on Job 6

Here’s the text.

Some thoughts I had:

• It’s OK to complain, but don’t deny God.
• Sometimes bad things happen when we haven’t done anything wrong.
• Friends and family can be unreliable, they’re not perfect.
• Our suffering can produce fear in others that it may happen to them.
• We can rely on ourselves, in part, to know the difference between right and wrong; we aren’t completely ignorant.  This speaks to me as I sometimes blame myself when things go wrong and look for the mistake I made, but actually I knew all along whether I had done something wrong or not and maybe there is no need to feel guilty unnecessarily.  As with point 2, we may not be to blame.
