Job ponders aloud how popular he was when everything went his way. His is entertaining bitterness as when things fall apart so do your friends. One of the themes of Job is "God's ways are higher than our ways." This happens to be stated in the turning point of the exile for Isaiah. He says it like this...
"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven,and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish,so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth:It will not return to me empty,but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
God's ways are higher than our ways and His word does not return empty. The reading of Scripture each day makes a contribution we cannot measure. We seek understanding of God's higher ways and daily meditation on God's truth fills our emptiness.
