[A month of travel has disrupted this blog, but not the flow...]
Job 12:9Who among all these does not know
that(G) the hand of the LORD has done this?
10In(H) his hand is the life of every living thing
and the breath of all mankind.
11Does not(I) the ear test words
as the palate tastes food?
12Wisdom is with(J) the aged,
and understanding in length of days.
13(K) "With God[c] are wisdom and might;
he has counsel and understanding. [English Standard Version]
In death's throes, what more can man do, where else can we find comfort, but in the hands of our God. I have found in the deep times, in the times of confusion and transition, when the old enemies of abandonment and helplessness are at my door, this stance is the best to take. As Job has declared, we are in the hands of a wise and understanding God.
