Job: Sometimes crap just happens

Job as in the book of the Bible, not job as in occupation.

So I finished reading Job yesterday. I'm not really sure why it's in the Bible - It's a pretty depressing book. The only thing I really got out of it was that bad things sometimes just happen for no reason - not because God is trying to punish us, or teach us a lesson; just because. And we shouldn't question God when bad things happen - sometimes it just does.

Actually I did feel my consciene pricked a bit when I was reading it. I was getting kind of bogged down around halfway though - it's a lot of repetition. So I tried to imagine the scene in my head - Job laying in the hospital, his buddies just telling him to do all these things and God would heal him and Job keeps saying that he's clean before God. Then I came to these verses:

How long will you torment me
and crush me with words?
Ten times now you have reproached me;
shamelessly you attack me.
If it is true that I have gone astray,
my error remains my concern alone.
If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me
and use my humiliation against me,
then know that God has wronged me
and drawn his net around me.
"Though I cry, 'I've been wronged!' I get no response;
though I call for help, there is no justice.

And I just imagined so many people that others look down on - people on welfare, teenage mothers, illegal immigrants, etc. that everyone talks about but no one ever helps out. Myself included. 'It's their own fault they're in the situation they're in - God must be against them' and everyone condemns them and no one helps them.
So I felt kind of bad. And humbled.
Lord, help me to be understanding and helpful instead of condemning.
