Job 34:21-35:16
“If you
have sinned” (Job 35:6). Help us, Lord, to think about Job, about Jesus,
and about ourselves. “Job feared God and shunned evil” (Job 1:1). Job
wasn’t being singled out for special punishment, because he was much
more sinful than anyone else – but this doesn’t mean that he had never
sinned (Job 7:21; Job 13:26). Help us, Lord, to look beyond Job to
Jesus. He did not sin (Hebrews 4:14-16) – but He did suffer: “He
suffered for us … He bore our sins … He died for us … He died for our
sins” (1 Peter 2:21-24; Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3). Thank You,
Lord, for Jesus, our Saviour. When we sin, help us to come to Jesus. He
is our “Redeemer” (Job 19:25). He gives us “quietness” and “songs in the
night” (Job 34:29; Job 35:10). Help us, Lord, to “be still and know
that You are our God.” Help us to “shout for joy to You” (Psalm 46:10;
Psalm 98:4).
