Job 4-6

In the past I have been avoided the words of Job's three friend. Since their over-all messages were not a true reflection of God's work I fell into the same trap to which they were captured. In their words are many truths about God.  For instance Eliphaz proclaims in 5:15-16 that God rescues those who have been rejected, a truth supported elsewhere in scripture. Eliphaz's general theology is right on but it is his application to Job's situation where he misses the mark. God will indeed rescue Job, as Eliphaz describes, but it will not be in either man's timing. That is the very same hope to which we Christians can cling when injustice is poured into our lives.
It took me about 12 minutes to read Eliphaz's first accusation and Job's reply.
