Job 5:1-7

Summary: Eliphaz continues: you can't appeal to heaven, he tells his friend Job, because that only shows how foolish and sinful you are. 

Response: Now I think I've got around his argument, though he will probably speak a bit longer. There is a difference, I think, between "all have fallen short" and "you specifically must have done something to anger God so fess up." Not that either of them had any way of knowing, but this wasn't Job's fault!

Lord, help me to persevere. Life can be difficult, but help me to rely on You, not to blame You for it.
