Job 29 · Grade 4
When God Watched Over Me
Read and Think
Job longed for the days when God watched over him, when his lamp shone on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness. The friendship of God was in his tent, and his children were around him.
Job had been honored in his city. When he sat at the gate, princes stopped talking and nobles were hushed. People listened and waited for his counsel. They waited for me as for the rain. Job smiled on them when they had no confidence.
Job used his position to help others. I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also. I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. I was a father to the needy. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. Eliphaz had said Job sent widows away empty, but Job caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
