Thirdly, In that he saith, I would make supplication to my Judge. Observe,
God is the Judge of all our actions and intentions.
Job was in a great contest with men, but (saith he) men are not my Judges, God is my Judge, It is a comfort to the Saints to remember that God is their Judge. Job was not afraid of God in that relation; no, it was a rich consolation to think that God was his Judge. He is a righteous Judge, a merciful Judge, a pitiful Judge; we need not be afraid to speak to him under that notion. Job saith not, I vvill make supplications to my father (which is a sweet relation) but (which is most dreadful to wicked men) he considers God as a Judge: The Saints are enabled by faith to look upon God as a Judge, with assurances of mercy.
