Job Study: Diana; Vince

Pastor John:

The studies in Job have been wonderful. I feel I have been transported back in time to learn about him. Here are a few points from Job 3:

1.  How Job held fast to God through all his infirmities was only part of the story.  I loved Timothy 3:12: “All who are willing to live Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”

2.  Also, I was reminded that in this world, evil sometimes wins.  We need to know and be reminded of that in our walk through this life.  Whew!

3.  Another big one for me was Job’s patience, in waiting for God to speak!   One should not make any judgment about someone or a situation until God speaks.  (I have been guilty of that.)  Wait on the Lord.  That was another good reminder!  All of the ones who tried to get Job to admit he had done something wrong, and he remained steadfast, waiting on God.

I am looking forward to our next Job reading.  Thank you for our food and your time you have put into this!  You make Job “come alive” (as you have made the Bible stories come alive before).

John,

I feel like I understand Job and his friends a whole lot better after last night.  And how in the world did Job endure the way he did, and with such wisdom and love of God, without the holy Ghost?  My, what excuse do we have, especially considering what you said at the end, the Lord has given and he hasn’t taken away (yet)… blessed be the name of the Lord!

What a story. Looking forward to what’s next.
