“My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; Shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.”
Job 10:1-2 KJV
Job continued his diatribe against God, “I can’t stand my life—I hate it! I’m putting it all out on the table, all the bitterness of my life—I’m holding back nothing. Here’s what I want to say: Don’t, God, bring in a verdict of guilty without letting me know the charges you’re bringing”. Sometimes there are so many questions one has towards God that it creates a bitterness of soul. Job was able to talk directly to God of his dilemma. How blessed we are in the new covenant to be free from a guilty conscience through the Blood of Jesus Christ. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. The Blood of Christ, through the eternal Spirit offered without spot to God, cleanses our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. May we believe it. Amen!
