Job 19-21

It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage. In 21:4 Job clarifies to whom he is addressing his complaints - God. His friends are only present to witness his appeal to God. His days of silence must have been an expression of his humility before God, and now he is ready to lay it on the line before his creator. I know that I have wondered the same thing from time to time: why is God silent? But I have the advantage of seeing God's loving reaction to Job's misery. Through Job's suffering I can anticipate the hand of God moving in my life as I face difficulties.
