Job.

I chose the book of Job for my Bible surfing.
As stated before, my friend said it was a really good read.
We were on the bus, so I picked up my conformation Bible.
I tried to read it, but was like blah.
I'm glad I'm reading it now.

I actually didn't choose this because my friend suggested it.
One of the devotionals said choose a topic that you need help with.
Or that interests you.
Bitterness.

Anyway. I read what I needed to read tonight.

Job 11:13-20

"Yet if you devote your heart to Him
and stretch out your hands to Him,
if you put away the sin that is in your hand
and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
then you will lift up your face without shame;
you will stand firm and without fear.
You will surely forget your trouble,
recalling it only as waters gone by.
Life will be brighter than noonday,
and darkness will become like morning.
You will be secure, because there is hope;
you will look about you and take your rest in safety.
You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid,
and many will court your favor.
But the eyes of the wicked will fail,
and escape will elude them;
their hope will become a dying gasp."

Such a peace that this brings.
It's really a beautiful part of the Bible.
Yes, I know, that there are more.
This is as close to perfect.
Actually. It is perfect.
This makes me feel a lot better about things.
