May 13, 2026 - Job 12-14

In replying to Zophar, Job says, “I prefer to speak to the Almighty and argue my case before God” (13:3).  God does not judge as men do.  Also, we who stand before him, clothed in the righteousness of Christ, are able to approach him with no charge that can be laid against us.  How many times have we silently just laid our cases before him, acknowledging our sin and knowing that we are forgiven.  What joy and consolation when we rest in Christ!

 

Be merciful to me, O God;

thy mercy unto me

Do thou extend; because my soul

doth put her trust in thee:

 

Yea, in the shadow of thy wings

my refuge I will place,

Until these sad calamities

do wholly overpass.   -- Scottish Psalter, 1650
