Podcast Introduction Today our reading is  Job 31-32. I’m calling the episode “The Youngster Speaks." Comments on Job 31-32 Job 31 He starts with one of a man's most common sins: looking with lust at a young woman. How many men can say that he has not done that? He says that he made a covenant with his eyes not to do that. I remember reading that Billy Graham, in all his travels made a similar covenant with his eyes. He would always avert his eyes to the ground when he was in a place where a pretty woman was around. This is a good strategy. Job asks if he has lied or deceived anyone, and when he has said all he can in his defense, when he has laid out his case, he challenges God to answer *him*!  I think perhaps Job took it a step too far, don’t you?
