Oh the tragedy that the unrepentant wicked will see the Lamb all right, but in His wrath, not His love. 

We’re not only the richest people in the world, but the richest in all of history. We’ll give account for that!

“When a crime is not punished quickly, people feel it is safe to do wrong” (Eccl 8:11, NLT). Job agrees.

Job is not only disturbed that he is being punished—and for what?—but that the wicked are not.

As much as possible, look up, not down; look forward, not back; look after others, not just yourself. 

We need to be careful of our wishes—we might just get them! Did Job really want to confront God? 

“Nothing is so near to me as God. God is nearer to me than I am to myself.” —Meister Eckhart (c 1260–1328) 

“Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit” (Ps 51:12).

Job raises a warning to his friends that we all need to heed—the danger of judgmental shortsightedness. 

Jesus called the people to notice the image on their coins’ obverse, and then see the image on them!
