Job 18

Bildad is telling Job to stop whining, complaining and judging. It seems that he is asking Job if he thinks he is so important that the world will be changed because of him? Does he think that he should judge others? Only God has that power. He goes on to tell us that God will judge the evil and they will receive their just due. The faithful will be rewarded. Something that came to my mind while reading was that at the time this was written Jesus was just a dream. These people did not have the promise of forgiveness that Jesus gives us. This must have been difficult to live with. If you sinned you did not have God's promise of forgiveness. You had to wait to receive this forgiveness.

How many times do we feel more important than we really are? I think it is just in our human nature and we have to remember that we are pretty insignificant in the big picture. Not to say that we are not important but we should not FEEL important. We are all here for a reason, we are to discover what that reason is and try our best to fulfill that role. Always keeping in mind that we are here to do Gods work.
