Bible Question: Just wondering,is Job prideful in making this statement? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Momma; I don't think Job is being prideful. He's doing what God expected him to do. Satan, in his exchanges with God in chapters 1 and 2, predicted that Job would "curse you to your face". Even Job's wife encouraged him to do so (2:9). But he doesn't. This statement is part of his defense against his friends' false accusations. Job's whole dilemma is captured in God's own description of Job in chapters 1 and 2. God himself describes Job as upright and blameless. It is a testament to Job's faith that throughout these tragedies that he does not deserve, he manages to say "though he slay me yet I will trust in Him." (13:15) Job is one of my favorite OT characters. I hope to have a long conversation with him one day. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
