- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The book of Job is one of those books most people, they just don't want to study.
- 00:21
- Because the book of Job is quite depressing. Job is actually giving an account of God working in miraculous ways through an individual's life.
- 00:34
- Job is someone who served God, loved God, and Satan is challenging
- 00:40
- God with Job, saying that, well, he really doesn't worship you. It's just because you give him everything.
- 00:46
- And so God allows Satan to take everything from Job. Notice that what you end up seeing is that Satan is
- 00:54
- God's devil. He cannot do anything without permission from God. And he takes everything from Job, comes back to God.
- 01:01
- God allows him to inflict him with physical ailments, and he's afflicted. And you have the first part of the book is all about Job professing his innocence and his friends, who are really not that friendly, are trying to say, no, you must have done something really bad to have this happen to you.
- 01:17
- We want to know what that sin is. Just confess it. And Job is saying, when I see God, he has to answer to me.
- 01:24
- And he says that, oh, basically up until God decides to speak.
- 01:29
- And when God shows up on the scene, you end up seeing God asking Job a whole bunch of questions.
- 01:35
- Where were you when I did this? And where were you when I did this? And this and this? And you see Job realizing he is in no place to question
- 01:42
- God, even when all this suffering happens. Job did not know what was going on, why he was suffering.
- 01:49
- God did. And God said, even if you don't know, you don't question. This podcast is part of the Striving for Eternity ministry.
