John,
The Job study last night was very good. I went away with a better understanding of why Job’s friends spoke to Job as they did. They really were sincere in their effort to help Job, but as you said, because they had not heard from God, their speech was ineffective.
Another point that stood out to me was Job’s determination to wait until he had heard from God. He refused to accept his friends’ accusations, knowing that they had not heard from God either.
I liked what you said about Job knowing God and His voice well enough to know God had not spoken to him. That is good.
It’s hard to imagine how many accusing spirits he had to deal with, even in his own mind.
Thank you, John, for all your time and effort you have put into this study. There are many valuable lessons we can benefit from.
I’m already looking forward to the next section.
Tom

Last night’s Job #3 teaching was so good and rich! It feels like you have us right there with Job and his friends, hearing and feeling FOR THE FIRST TIME EXACTLY how God saw and heard it. It’s even better than what we have felt in translating Job! I love who Jesus has made you, and how you are dishing out this wonderful rich food to us! It is rich and sobering. It feels like every part of me was “tweaked” last night, and I love it. My, what a feast! Thank you!
