One Big Argument

I suppose the book of Job would be much easier to comprehend if it weren't so long!  It is as if the bantering back and forth between Job and his friends goes on forever.  I find myself tired of their arguments.

 

I wonder how God sees it?  Do you suppose He grew weary of these men's repetition?

 

I also find myself losing track of who is saying what.  Likewise, it becomes almost impossible to determine whether what they are saying is actually accurate or not.  It just becomes one big argument.

 

The saddest thing about it is that it sounds all too familiar.

 

Father, I know there is probably much more I should be learning from the story of Job.  However, the bickering back and forth is highly distracting to me.  Help me to see how that itself is a lesson to my own life and the lives of those around me.
