Next "fixer"...

Sounds like Job is onto something! In Job ch 8-10, Bildad replies to Job that there must be some secret, unknown sin. Job's reply in ch 9 almost sounds like he's read the end of this book...but does he believe it. We must also realize that God's ways are not ours and that we do not see the entire story,only a paragraph. Check out C9v4. So Job sounds like he gets it a little in ch 9. Still he reverts back to loathing and self pity in ch 10. We must all be related to Job eh? Bildad, on the other hand, is human. He is trying to help as he thinks being helpful is. Would we do differently? But like Eliphaz, he lacks the big picture info and tries to "fix" Job. (Any wonder why we refer to our job as work-I know this doesn't relate but it is ironic). Strike two??
