Why do bad things happen to good people? Job is in MISERY and he's hating his life, but he knows he's done nothing wrong to deserve all that's happened to him. So he just vents about the pain he's in.

But his friends tell him "how dare you? what right do you have to complain? surely you did SOMETHING to deserve this, so shut up. God wouldn't let this happen unless you were a worthless scum bucket, so admit you're a worthless scum bucket and shut up." (I'm paraphrasing obviously.)

But we, the reader, know that Job is blameless, innocent, and is being used as a pawn in some game between God and the devil.

How often are we, in our modern world, like Job's friends? When we interact with someone who is struggling with pain or disability or something have we told them that the problem is with sin, or faith, or that if they just LET Jesus heal them they will be well?

As someone who is disabled, if I had a dollar for every time someone said that to me just in my own church I would have bought the building and turned it into bar called "Shut the fuck up".

REMINDER: Link in bio and right here: http://laurazielke.com/contest . This is the newest specialty Bible published by Holman and distributed by Lifeway Christian Stores. The Day-by-Day Chronological Bible is presented in their Christian Standard Bible translation which I reviewed last year. . I decided to try something new and live-stream my first impression of this new resource. It was interesting to discover the layout and unique features of this Bible while interacting with my viewers. (Video is embedded on my site - skip the first couple of minutes while we were getting everything straightened out). . Based on my interaction with this particular Bible, I can honestly say that it’s unique. The Day-by-Day Chronological Bible presents the story of the Bible as a play with 3 "acts" and 17 "scenes." Act and scene introductions read more like SparkNotes complete with setting, main characters, and plot lines. . The narrative notes by Dr. Guthrie serve not only to fill in historical gaps but also to clue the reader into key themes and life application. . Read my full review, watch the replay of my live unboxing, and enter to win your own copy of the Day-by-Day Chronological Bible on my site. .

He has not forgotten.

"God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?" Numbers 23:19 And after 36 chapters of Numbers, I now move on to Deuteronomy.
