And when pride interferes it clouds our vision, and before we know it – we are on the wrong path towards evil. Pride can interfere with us following the wise ways of the Lord. ~Job 23:10-12 5.) Wisdom comes from fearing God and turning away from evil. I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.
I have kept his way and have not turned aside.ġ2 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips When he has tried me, I shall come out as gold. Job had entered the fiery furnace of suffering. Over 25 times he asked the question “why?” and he continually asked for the opportunity to defend his case before God. Job wrestled and wrestled with God’s silence in the midst of his suffering. One day – we will see with our own eyes our Redeemer! He is alive today and forevermore and because He lives – we can face tomorrow with victory! 4.) Even in the midst of God’s silence, His presence is with us. Job said of his three friends: “ Miserable comforters are you all!” (16:2) Job proclaims where his deep strength flows from:Īnd at the last he will stand upon the earth.Ģ6 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,Īnd my eyes shall behold, and not another. Never lose your hope in God! 3.) Our friends may fail us in the midst of our misery but God never does. One of the greatest statements of faith in all of scripture is found right in the middle of Job chapter 13. Job says: “Though he slay me, I will hope in him.” No one and nothing can steal your joy or your peace when your hope is in God. (Job 1:8) 2.) In the midst of suffering, we must never lose our hope in God.
Job’s suffering did not come because he was bad but rather because of his unwavering faithfulness to God. The book of Job opens in verse one by telling us that Job was a blameless, upright man who feared God and turned away from evil. I’m so proud of you for sticking with us!
