GRUMPY OLD MEN

Our approach to the lesser known books of the Old Testament often swing between two extremes. Some view them as irrelevant and antiquated and ignore them. Others get lost in the texts’ minutia and nuance by trying to draw point-by-point application for today from prophecies written two and a half millennia ago. These texts were not written to us, but they were preserved for us. There is value in them. The prophets’ contemporaries must have viewed them as grumpy purveyors of doom and gloom. We might want to skip their largely pessimistic predictions in favor of more positive texts, but these writings are “God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). We can learn from these gumpy old men.
