The Difference a Relationship Makes

Job 19-20

Job's cries of pain in Chapter 19 are not the result of his physical distress, but rather the emotional loss he feels in God's apparent absence. Of course,we know that God is very present in Job's life and indeed our own, but it is clear that many things that happen in our lives (like the sin that Job's friends are so intent on laying on his shoulders) that can block our ability to feel God's presence. As sad as Job's lament is, how much sadder is the life that never feels God's absence because of unbelief.
