NOTES for Job 10:15
One could say that Job is challenging God, reproaching Him for what has happened to him. But in Job's words this time one can also see reverence before the Creator's greatness, submission before His will, and a humble readiness to accept His decisions. Job is not only ready to accept punishment for sins; he also refuses to insist on his genuine merits: even if I am right, I dare not lift up my head. But he wants to know why these disasters have fallen on him, why his former world, so clear and familiar, has collapsed.
When the familiar order collapses, and a way of life that seemed unshakable and the only possible one passes into the past, millions of people amid the ruins ask themselves and others the same questions, or similar ones, that Job asks. But even when an explanation is possible and understandable, it cannot always be heard at the moment when one is living through the consequences of catastrophe, when not every sufferer has the strength to receive the answer. It is not out of the question that the Lord does not always answer directly because He spares us: another heart might be crushed by His answer.
But even in His apparent silence He is near to those who suffer and does not abandon them.
