At
the end of a week, right as I (Jacob) got home, I was greeted by an
official-looking fellow saying he had received an order to cut our power. We’d
never received a bill or notice, and the foundation told us they’d paid it for
the month. The power guy said they hadn’t received it. So here we sit with no
lights, no fan, no means of recharging, nada. Not our fault, and still our
problem. While this certainly pales in comparison to the trials of Job, I
noticed a similar theme: unmerited tribulation. The whole book of Job flips the
just-world hypothesis on its head, inviting us beyond a world of rewards and
punishments into a greater world of mercy and humility.
