Job 19:7 Even when I cry out, “Violence!” I am not answered;
I call aloud, but there is no justice.
Job now speaks for himself in the context of losing everything and his "friends" telling him that he must have done something to deserve it. Job cries out. Job cries out in pain and agony. And Job is answered by silence.
At least in the short term.
At the end of the book, God shows up. God shows up and speaks with Job. God will show up and speak with you too. I don't know when. It might be today, and it might be a long time from now. But if you are crying out for justice. If you are crying out for release, God will answer.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
