3 Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me to know.
This is where all of the characters in this chapter went array. As we were reading thru the chapter, I found myself thinking, "duh, are you guys idiots?" But, I think I make similar mistakes about God. They may be in slightly different directions, but I'm still probably speaking of things I don't understand. Its important to be reminded of the granduer of God. And to remember how vastly superior he is to all of us combined.
I'm curious about the end of the chapter, when it talks about how beautiful Job's daughters were, and how the inherited a son't share of Jobs fortune. Why was this put in there. Is there some significance that I'm missing? Curious.
Overall, Job lead a complete roller-coaster life. Way up......way down....and then WAY up again.
And thru it all, God was still God. No matter our opinion of him, or our attitude toward him, or our own personal situation....God is still the ultimate.

Well said, your comments about the roller coaster of life are right on. The hard part is remembering that during the peaks and valleys of human emotions and not behaving in a way that discounts God in the good times or blames him in the bad times. I will try to keep Job in mind whenever I find myself drifting.
