September 3, 2018: Day 23 – Job 23

Job responds to his friend by asking for an audience with God so that he can plead his case.  It is interesting how he basically ignores his friend and goes straight to requesting an audience with God to prove his innocence.  This Scripture does remind me of the widow who refused to be satisfied until the judge would answer her knocking on his door.  Look at Luke 18:1-8 and you will find that the judge is not presented in the most flattering terms (neither feared God nor had respect for people), and yet somehow by the end of the parable it is obvious that this judge was, indeed, God.

Job says that he would love to have an audience with God because he has complete confidence that “God would heed me.” (vs.6)
