I must have messed up the publishing schedule. Sorry about that – better late than not at all 🙁
GOD ABSENT?
(Job 23:1-9, 16-17)
Job’s friends insisted
his woes were ‘self-inflicted’,
something he had done.
God darkly absent,
Job reasoned his case aloud,
down-to-earth bitter.
How I live matters.
God doesn’t test, stuff happens:
how will I respond?
When God seems absent
in the bleakest times, God is,
in all and through all.
