Job 12:7-25

Summary: Job, still replying to his third friend Zophar, makes more or less three points: knowledge of God's power (especially, Job claims, the power to destroy) is well known, even to creation; Job, as a person with ears, has a right and duty to discern what he hears as godly advice or not; and that God is capable if not responsible for all kinds of destruction, leaving nothing as too sacred or important that He could not topple. 

Response: It's easy to take a force-of-nature view of God, that stuff just happens and there's no use talking it through with Him. But I wanted to dig into discernment. I think this is Job's strength, that he keeps listening and digging deeper, and hasn't (yet) come to a satisfying conclusion. Lord, help me to search for Your truth for me.
