Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of Job.
This is episode #05 chapters 09 and 10.
Job Chapter 09, God is more powerful than our enemies and concerned for our struggles. We can and should turn to God in the midst of our struggles. Even while we praise God and pray to God we may still suffer. This should not stop our desire to praise the God whose character never changes.
Job Chapter 10, Because this psalm has no title (in the midst of several psalms that do), and because it shares some similar themes with Psalm 9, some have thought that it was originally the second half of Psalm 9. There are more reasons to doubt this than to believe it; this psalm rightly stands on its own as a psalm of lament at the seeming prosperity of the wicked but ultimate confidence in the judgments of God.
