"I am teaching out of the Book of Job for our parish bible studies. Consider the following insight by Job on the spiritual life:
"God is wise in heart and mighty in strength;who has withstood him and remained unscathed? (Job 9:3)
"At first glance, we might read this to mean
that we don't dare talk back to God or resist Him lest He punish us,
but this would be a superficial interpretation. The text surely speaks
more richly, of the spiritual life and the journey we must make with
God."
In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish,
Washington, DC) reflected on how our relationship with God is not merely about pleasantries and how God must work to break sinful, selfish, and harmful drives within us.
