Grief & Trust

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2525971/fan_mail/new] Job Series  The book of job is broken down into 4 parts  Prologue - Here we are introduced to the main character Job and then we’re transported to a divine council meeting where God is with his sons. The basis of this part of the book is key to understanding much of what is to come. (Chapters 1-2) Discourse - Job and his friends get into it, they offer their opinions on why Job is in this condition, and Job reiterates his innocence and questions God. (Chapters 3-37) The Response - After the 36th time and demanding that God answers him, God responds, sets examples and questions Jobs ability to comprehend the depth and capacity to manage creation. (Chapters 38-41) Epilogue - Job humbled by the awesomeness of God apologises, God restores him, and gives him the choice to restore his friends. Job receives more than what he lost, trust and relationship wins over the uncertainty of doubt and crisis.  What do we know - It’s set in the land of Uz which is away from Israel. All characters are non-Israelite, wealth is measured in livestock. The fact he had camels, and the tribal names of some of his friends suggest that regionally we’re looking at a man of great status and position within and among the Arabian tribes. Job 7 What do we know - It’s set in the land of Uz which is away from Israel. All characters are non-Israelite, wealth is measured in livestock. The fact he had camels, and the tribal names of some of his friends suggest that regionally we’re looking at a man of great status and position within and among the Arabian tribes. Grief & Trust Job 7/8 7:1-5 - Job finds himself asking questions beyond his ability to comprehend, he recalls the experience of the moment and documents it almost in disbelief, going over rudiments and principles and trying to figure out where it’s gone wrong. 7:5-10 - Job is again reiterating his desire to not be, he doesn’t want to cast away his life, but he aligns the principles of his situation along that of a person who should either be dying, dead or executed. 7:11-15 - Pain must be allowed to speak, Hebrews 4:15 God didn’t have a problem with what he was feeling, he just didn’t want it to get in the way of what he was supposed to know and do, which is trust and obey.. 7:15-21 - Job questions the wisdom and seeming folly of what appears to be his life. He beseeches God as to what his charge is (Psalm 34), he asks God why have you made me your target, when in fact God had made Job his testament. The enemy would have Job thinking that the very thing he covered his children is the very thing God was exposing him for, but in righteous tribulation God only exposes that which he has already covered.

Abandoned Yet Not Alone Job 6 * 6:1-7 - Job responds in disbelief because he’s answering questions from people that should know, he’s defending his integrity to those whom he already believed understood who and what he was. He doubles down on his argument of righteousness, and asks rhetorical questions of those questioning him. * 6:8-14 - job has now lost the hunger and desire to live, he has seen himself brought to nought and he feels abandoned, yet he’s not alone. He almost questions in a comical what more can I do, what more can I suffer, how much more can I endure. * 6:14-21 - Sometimes we lose patience, sometimes you get to a point where you no longer have any desire to debate. Job actually asks his friends to put up or shut up, he takes them to task over their inability to answer him or judge him justly or fairly. * 6:21-25 - Job goes on the offensive, and calls his friends out, sometimes the heat of the trial will burn away civility and leave you with what you truly feel, and he saw past the synthetic sincerity and wanted to proof his friends and the intention from where they’re understanding was coming from.

Now their mourning has changed into accusation and opinion. Harbouring the reality of what they suspect to be the real reason of job plight. It also shows us that there was a secret contempt for the blessing God had bestowed upon Job, the reality of what they truly think is now showing itself, and what a time to do it, at Jobs weakest moment. Eliphaz was convinced this calamity was because Job had been engaging in some secret sin. 4:1-10 Eliphaz questions Jobs account and his version of events, asking first can I get a word in, the cheek of it. Then proceeds to beat him with the stick of his own annoyance where Jobs concerned - his righteousness. Aint it something that the very thing that had landed Job in this situation was the thing that he was being mocked for, his integrity and his righteousness. (John 9:1-3 ref).  4:10-20 they question if God has no regard for his servants and his heavenly administration, what does that make job, and why does he feel entitled to some kind of explanation, but what we’re really seeing is there contempt for Gods blessing toward him. (Psalm 3 ref) 4:20-End - he tries to put job in a box of mediocrity and force/goad him into submission according to his understanding of what he believes to be happening. Yet are you not made with purpose, intention and divine design.

Trust Beyond Doubt

All characters are non-Israelite, wealth is measured in livestock. The fact he had camels, and the tribal names of some of his friends suggest that regionally we’re looking at a man of great status and position within and among the Arabian tribes.   Trust Beyond Doubt  Job 2:1-13  * 2:1-2 - Heavenly meeting, Lucifer has access and God asks him where he’s been. The fact he’s roaming means he is without purpose and meaning and has found himself wondering. He is LOST!! * 2:3-4 - (Samuel 13:14) God seeks those he can trust and rely upon based on their heart matter. “Have you considered my servant”. (Matthew 11:11) Jesus claims that “there is none greater than John Baptist”  * 2:4-7 - we see the attack of the jobs body seeded. It becomes apart of the accusation that satan makes to God. He was convinced of the fallacy of man, and that his love for god was dependent on things being environmentally and physically ok.  * 2:7-10 Now we see the completion of the tripartite attack on Jobs person. It’s within these verses that Jobs wife questions why he still trusts God, why he is maintaining his integrity. Her interaction with him sees the battle taken to the very essence of his being. It is at this moment that Jobs spirit is put under the microscope, to curse God and die would justify his position in this life, but condemn him in the next. The very fact his situation doesn’t allow him to think with that level of objectivity allows us to see him respond subjectively, and it shows us what’s really in his spirit, he responds with such a level of objectivity and faith, it renders his wife speechless.  * 2:10-13 Jobs friends come to see him after hearing about his calamity. It’s interesting to note the prior conversation that happens between them before they go and meet Job. They count believe what they saw, it’s interesting to note here that connection and community plays a huge part in much of this trial. Even though they find themselves on the wrong end of the argument later on in the book, there reactions to him allow us to understand just how bad Jobs condition was.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2525971/support] Presenter:  ⁨@SheanWilliamsWorld⁩   Socials: TikTok: @rhema.biblestudie Instagram: rhemabiblestudies Facebook: rhemabiblestudies Threads: rhemabiblestudies Brought to you by Willow Media House www.willowmediahouse.com
