Daily Bible Reading Day 185

Job 26-28; Acts 11.  Job continues his sarcastic response to his friends as they speak. He continues to maintain his basic innocence. He has done nothing really big to deserve what he is receiving. Then he talks about wisdom. His speech sounds very much like the teaching of wisdom in Proverbs. He also says that the fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom. 

When Peter gets back to Jerusalem he is confronted by Jewish Christians for his contact with uncircumcised Gentiles. He explains his vision to them. He explains his message and what the Holy Spirit did during his proclamation. So the disciples in Jerusalem accepted this expansion of the Gospel into Gentile territory.
