Job 17

You have to feel bad for Job. He is a faithful man, one who endures much hardship but seems to take it all in stride. He believes in Gods plan for his life and he follows his lead. What has brought him to the point of looking forward to the grave? He seems lost in despair. Yet at the end of the passage he speaks about his desires turning night into day. Somewhere he still has some hope. I think his hope lies in the promise of living with God in heaven. He is looking forward to going home and being with his loving father.
