Over there, in the land of Uz

Job is a book that i really liked, despite the lengthy paragraphs and conversations. it is like a motion picture. preferably a puppet's show. or paper show. or just a 2-D toggling picture set. with wild colours and bobbing heads and wild facial expressions.

God has a light as an image. the satan will be preferably red with fire on the head. job will wear a really beautiful robe, stripes of colours, blue red pink purple yellow and green. his seven sons will be sized accordingly, each one a different colour of the robe. and his three daughters, their faces will be masked with satin.

the cattle and sheep and camels and donkeys will do the leaping dance and they will have funny grins. all on the queer land of Uz.

Eliphaz from Teman, Bildad from Shuah, and Zophar from Naamah. they will be dressed in bronze and silver and gold respectively.

the picture is very vivid now. colours and motions and disasters and lightnings. the servants will come runnig,

Suddenly the Sabeans attacked and stole all the oxen. tthey killed every of your servants except me. i am the only one who escaped to tell you.

lightning struck the sheep and the shepherds and killed them all....

raiders attacked and took away the camels...

a storm swept in from the desert and killed all your children...

i am only into chapter 8 but i had been listening to the same story many many times over from sunday school. and i am really glad that He blessed me with the chance to read this and learn something new from it every time.

today, i find job to be a really colourful story, despite the fact that it is very sad indeed. but, i don't know, today, i learn to wait and let the story unveil itself.

it had been a stressful week, and i missed a lot of opportunity to bless the people that comes along my way. i rejected the Lord who keeps knocking far too many times that i am starting to get used to the knocking, somewhat a white noise now. dear Father, please do forgive me, and thank you for the allowances for mistakes and bruises. i am really glad that i have You, and i shall wait upon You, like how You wait upon me to choose You to be king again.

You will reign. forever and ever more!
