Hi, Pastor John.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have loved the lessons you have taught us from Job.\u00a0 Here are some of my thoughts and highlights from last night\u2019s teaching.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Knowing God\u2019s voice is knowing God, and that is truly living and eternal life.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. If you have not heard from God, do not assume anything.\u00a0 Just wait on Him to give you your answer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Learning the voice of God and recognizing it helps you recognize when something is or isn\u2019t from God. \u201cMy sheep know my voice.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. One of my favorite parts from your notes was, \u201cFirst, God had to speak to him so that Job would know God\u2019s voice.\u00a0 Then, he had to have the patience to wait on God for that voice to come again\u2026. for only when God speaks can anyone learn the difference between their thoughts and His.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Job\u2019s friends thought they were doing him good with their good ideas and advice, but they had not heard from God, and Job knew that.\u00a0 Job did not bend under their pressure.\u00a0 He kept his eyes on God and waited for Him.\u00a0 Even through his sufferings, he trusted that God would eventually redeem him.\u00a0 This kind of reminded me of when Jesus was drawing in the dirt in John 8, and the scribes and Pharisees were urging him to give an answer, but He waited on His Father\u2019s answer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Job could have had the spirit of a serpent and lashed out when he was seemingly mistreated, but he kept the spirit of a dove and stayed in the hands of God.\u00a0 He fervently prayed and voiced his complaints, but he knew who to go to with these pleas.<\/span><\/p>\n

            When I have failed and gotten off-track, it has taught me to have more empathy and mercy towards others later, because I know the mercy I was shown, and how it feels to be in a mess.\u00a0 Is this along the same lines of not being \u201cat ease\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n

            ==========<\/span><\/p>\n

            Yes, Anna, it is. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

            ==========<\/span><\/p>\n

            Thanks so much for all of your work in this.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Anna<\/span><\/p>\n

            ==========<\/span><\/p>\n

            Thank you and others for loving it.\u00a0 That is encouraging.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
