On learning.
'Teach me, and I will hold my tongue and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.'- Job 6:24 (KJV)
This verse stopped me as i hurriedly scanned through the passage while on the office computer.
It makes sense in the way 'Be still and know that I am God does' and more. Its a cry, a desire, a plea among many others that Job cried out. With 4 personal pronouns there is no doubt that Job takes reponsibility for this action of searching for christ.
It strikes at an age where we come to terms with ourselves, our lives and our world views. The words flow as we reckon with ourselves with interllect and reason. Yet there is a time we are to be silent in our conflict and say Lord teach me whats wrong, teach me whats missing.
Its something we have to do. Looking to reset our direction to the spirtual North of Christ regularly as we journey on this earth. After all the past is straight and narrow.
It humbles me.
