In a painfully honest way, Job puts into words his deepest feelings. “What recourse is there with God? If He is right in punishing me, what have I done? How can my punishment be just? And if He is wrong, what difference does it make; is He not all powerful?”
“He wounds me without cause”, Job exclaims. “The blameless and the wicked are alike to him.”
But are they? Would Noah have agreed with that? Is that the lesson of the great flood?
Surely the God of day and night, springtime and harvest, flood waters and gentle rain does nothing without cause. Surely He makes a distinction between the blameless and the wicked.
