Job 16:1-17

Summary: Job again responds to his friend Eliphaz, wondering if he would be so callously pious if their places were switched. He quickly returns to speaking directly to and about God; Job puts God less in terms of a romantic pursuit and more like a wild boar chasing hapless prey. 

Response: I have to remember that my experience is not the only one. I do find it charming that God keeps running after me. Someone else might find that creepy, invasive, desperate, or even threatening. And do my words, actions, and attitudes ever reflect Eliphaz and not God and His love? Lord, try me in this.
