Reflections on Job 23

Here’s the text as usual.

Some points I noted

• Now God seems miles away (compare with Job 14) and Job can’t find him.
• Job wants to reason with God and use logic.
• Job acknowledges that he doesn’t need to search for God because God knows exactly where he is.
• Job is confident that he has been obedient to God (How many of us can say that? And would it seem arrogant if we did?)
• God no longer seems like he can be reasoned with or changed.
• Job is terrified of him.
