Job 14-16: 1 Corinthian 6

Good Morning Truth Seekers! Job continues to defend himself against his friends who are there to console him. Job begin in 14 with Man born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. He laments continually that he is not getting better and cannot die. He ask God to just hide him in the grave to conceal him until His anger passes. Job prefers death, and says that he is going to wait on his change to come. Meaning that he would have more hope in death and less pain. Eliphaz challenges that Job would be better to confess his sin and stop offending God with proclaiming his own righteousness. Job calls them miserable comforters. Job is worn out and is in agony. But prophetically he says that his intercessor is in heaven, and pleads on behalf of man. He speaks of the Jesus and looks upwardly to his judgement and vindication.

1 Corinthians 6 is Paul's clear dissatisfaction about public lawsuits among believers. Paul is concerned with the witness of the church and frowns on going outside for such disputes. Furthermore, he denounces sin. Sexual sins is sin. No hierarchy of sin nor sinner. Meaning slanderer is not higher than the homosexual. We need to stop trying to pass judgement on anyone, but pray for everyone including ourselves to honor God even in our bodies. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit and that should inspire us to behave different. When I was a little boy I was advised when I was away from home to act like my mom was there watching me, and ask myself would I do whatever it was if that was the case. God is due more respect than our mothers. So let us all govern ourselves accordingly.
