By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to set out for a place that he was to receive as an inheritance; and he set out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he stayed for a time in the land he had been promised, as in a foreign land, living in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he looked forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Hebrews 11:8-10 NRSV

Job was Vindicated for Coming before God Boldly
I am pondering this juxtaposition from the lectionary readings for next Sunday, Job 23:3-4 "Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his dwelling! I would lay my case before him." Hebrews 4:16 "Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness." My understanding of Job's vindication is that his complaints and demands of God were indeed coming before God boldly. God answered Jobs accusers, "you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has." Job 42:7-8
