Caves of Darkness

Job answers Zophar in chapter 12:

“True wisdom and real power belong to God;

From Him we learn to live, 

and also what to live for…

Strength and success belong to God;

Both deceived and deceiver 

must answer to Him…

He shines a spotlight into caves of darkness…”

I love it! Here is Job “in the depths of despair,” 

(Anne of Green Gables) and he is able or enabled 

to speak the truth about God.

That last line, “He shines a spotlight into the caves of darkness,” 

has lately become a place of rest for me. He sees into the motives, 

the desires of my heart, NOT just my actions. He knows that my 

deepest desire is not to PLEASE Him, but to KNOW Him.

“That I may know Him

The power of His resurrection

The fellowship of His suffering (really?)

Being made conformable unto His death.

(Phil 3:10)
