“No focus to your lives! How many times do I have to go over these things? How much longer do I have to put up with this?” This is Jesus being frustrated by people just like me. Makes me smile. Now, instead of me grumbling about people like ‘them‘ to God (and the dog) as we walk together, neither of whom listen to this kind of stuff, let me do better by asking God who I frustrate, (especially Jesus) and how? Maybe I can’t easily change ‘them,’ but I can change me and make life a better place for ‘them.’ Les Norman, more from John Maxwell.
When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world but it was difficult so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I considered my town, but as I couldn’t change that I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I know the only thing I can change is myself, and I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family and we could have changed our town, in fact they could have changed the nation and through them I could indeed have changed the world.

It seems that all was well before Job came along. Before then bad things allegedly only happened to bad people and if they happened to you it had to be because you had done some heinously evil thing. Then one day really bad things started happening to a good man who loved God. For Job’s friends this was a very uncomfortable idea, as scandalous for them as it is today for the prosperity gospel preachers.
