It occurred to me that all of this bickering back and forth between Job and his friends keeps transpiring without Satan coming up in their comments at all.  Meaning, no one seems to realize that Satan is the one who has afflicted Job!  And I\u2019m wondering if this happens in our lives today as well?  Do we sometimes miss it when Satan is literally attacking us?  Do we blame others?  Blame ourselves?  Maybe even blame God?  When the blame should be directed at the Deceiver?

I love the poetry of his words in chapter 14.  A lot of it reminds me of the book of Ecclesiastes, which we\u2019ll read later this year.
