We are coming to the end of Job’s friends second round of speeches they make against Job. Seeking to defend Job and to prove him wrong they continue to insist that the wicked are always punished and the righteous always prosper in this life. Job’s friends are completely unaware that God is behind all of this and has allowed these trials in Job’s life to vindicate both Job and the Lord as to why Job worships God. Great lessons on life and how to handle adversity, how to be a good friend when people in your life are suffering. We are learning how not to treat people by listening to Job’s so called friends. We are in chapter 17 tonight and Job’s response to Eliphaz’s second speech to Job as to why Job is suffering.

Job 38-42

May 1, 2019 • Mike Osthimer

Here is chapter 38 we will learn of the wisdom of God and the limitations of mans wisdom. God In chapter 40 we will learn of the power of God and the limitation of mans’s power. Ultimately in chapter 42 we learn of the love of God. Job finally gets his audience with God, the very thing he has wanted since he first began to suffer the trials he has been in. Job had accused God of unrighteousness and the justice of God in his trial due to the things Jobs friends had told Job he was being judged by God because of hypocrisy or secret sin. Job unfortunately bought into their lies and began to question the goodness of God. Job thought God was judging Job’s life… God posses 70 “you want to be God” questions for Job. If you feel like God isn’t doing a good job at running the universe and the affairs of human life you should be able to answer these questions. This is like a want to be God 101 class.

We find ourselves in the middle of a speech given by Elihu, another so called friend of Job who is attempting to council Job as to why he is going through the trial in his life and how Job can find relief.
