Job 29-31 Daily Reading
Daily Insights - Please Comment
In chapters 29-31, Job reflects on his past life, his present life, and what he wishes would be revealed and justified in the future. Job lacks understanding of how his present situation does not line up according to what he believes to be true about being found righteous before God.
Chapter 29 - Job is remembering his past as a righteous person who knows the heart of God.
Chapter 30 - In this chapter, Job is contrasting his past acts of compassion with his present lack of hope. He is a man that fears God and the very things he is fearful of are now happening to him. But he can't understand why.
Chapter 31 - Job is willing to take the blame for his wrong doings, but at the same time pleads his innocence. He also recognizes that turning from God's way will not benefit his situation. It seems that Job has an understanding of the Ten Commandments. Before the law, there was some level of understanding of right and wrong, probably passed down through oral tradition through Noah.
