My friends scorn me; My eyes pour out tears to God.
Job may not be able to count on his friends but he can count on God and pour out both his tears and his heart to Him. Corrie Ten Boom says that we will never know the Lord until the Lord is all we have. This is so true. When the proverbial rug is pulled out and we can no longer depend on the people or things that we are accustomed to turning to in times of trouble, we begin to learn to lean and depend on God. It is then we begin to understand that He is the Becoming One...the One who becomes whatever we might need.
Oh, that one might plead for a man with God, As a man pleads for his neighbor! For when a few years are finished, I shall go the way of no return.—Job 16:30
We have this today...Jesus is our Advocate with the Father.
