WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.840
 All right, good morning, everybody.

00:00:02.260 --> 00:00:06.940
 Let's go ahead and we'll find our spots here for the Sunday School Hours.

00:00:06.940 --> 00:00:09.240
 We just continue in our series here,

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:09.220
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.340
 Lord, we just thank you and praise you for the day,

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.100
 for the opportunity we have to meet together even in this new year.

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.399
 Lord, help us just to draw close to you.

00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.939
 Lord, help us to understand the reality and the necessity of faith

00:00:43.939 --> 00:00:48.299
 and just the dynamic of trusting you even here today,

00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:54.159
 even in times of tragedy and walking through those things practically in our life.

00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.620
 And Lord, we pray just have your hand upon each one here today

00:00:56.619 --> 00:01:00.059
 that we might be encouraged and strengthened through the truth of your word.

00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:01.939
 And we just ask it all in your precious name.

00:01:02.619 --> 00:01:02.939
 Amen.

00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:04.480
 All right.

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.359
 As we see here, you know, we've been looking here at a faith that triumphs,

00:01:08.379 --> 00:01:13.000
 you know, overcoming life's challenges with the courage from God's word.

00:01:13.379 --> 00:01:16.479
 You know, as we understand that courage that we need

00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:22.400
 to trust the Lord in the midst of those challenges.

00:01:22.759 --> 00:01:25.959
 And the book of Job, you know, I think could be one of the most,

00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.500
 when you look at it from the worldly perspective,

00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:31.839
 it could be the most depressing book in the Bible.

00:01:32.579 --> 00:01:35.079
 You know, when you read chapter one, man, it's pretty depressing.

00:01:36.259 --> 00:01:39.319
 You know, I mean, it is like downhill after downhill.

00:01:39.659 --> 00:01:42.579
 It's like when Job got on the slide of misery, man,

00:01:42.639 --> 00:01:44.839
 he greased it up and went off the end.

00:01:44.939 --> 00:01:48.519
 You know, it's like he just runs through.

00:01:48.819 --> 00:01:52.459
 It would be except for the fact we have the blessing of seeing the end,

00:01:52.619 --> 00:01:55.359
 of seeing what God did through it,

00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.980
 how God matured Job.

00:01:59.099 --> 00:02:01.640
 You know, we're talking this morning about practical sanctification.

00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.879
 You can look at the book of Job this way.

00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.960
 Job was a righteous man who loved God,

00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:12.960
 but God grew him through the tragedy.

00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:20.980
 Because Job is more mature in his faith at the end than he is at the beginning.

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.740
 Those things come about and, you know,

00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:31.180
 and oftentimes I don't think we really consider all the details of the book of Job,

00:02:31.260 --> 00:02:34.020
 the suffering that is really present.

00:02:34.020 --> 00:02:37.480
 But it teaches us, though, that it's just not about suffering,

00:02:37.640 --> 00:02:41.000
 but God triumphs even when we suffer.

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:49.040
 We can mature and grow and become conformed to his image as we can be changed through those things.

00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.939
 And, you know, we find here there's so many elements we could talk about in the book of Job.

00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:00.759
 You know, it's just some of the preachers of the past spent significant time preaching from the book of Job.

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:08.479
 It said the 17th century Scottish preacher George Hutchison preached 316 sermons from the book of Job.

00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.819
 You know, I've yet to reach that point yet.

00:03:12.939 --> 00:03:16.560
 I think I've hit 75 in the book, but I've never hit 300 and some.

00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:18.339
 And everybody said amen, right?

00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:20.799
 Time to move on, preacher.

00:03:22.819 --> 00:03:32.239
 Another one of Joseph Carl in London took 23 years to preach through the book of Job

00:03:32.239 --> 00:03:35.819
 that he published as a massive 12-volume set, you know?

00:03:35.819 --> 00:03:42.699
 So I want you to understand it's not how much, but, you know, there's a lot of things in here to learn

00:03:42.699 --> 00:03:46.319
 and apply to our life.

00:03:48.340 --> 00:03:50.060
 Job's friends could learn to be quiet.

00:03:50.359 --> 00:03:53.299
 Like I said, when you think about the message this morning in the book of Job

00:03:53.299 --> 00:03:55.599
 and the practical application, there's a lot of things that cross over

00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.139
 of how all those elements come together.

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.819
 You know, you could gleam a lot from the book, but, you know,

00:04:03.819 --> 00:04:08.099
 like suffering in our own lives, there's much that we can't fully understand.

00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.419
 And, you know, the book of Job is one of the old records in Scripture,

00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:19.159
 and it's a found group with the other poetical books in the Bible.

00:04:20.180 --> 00:04:23.879
 But chronologically, Job would be placed next to Genesis

00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:29.039
 as the events occurred sometime before or during around the time of Abraham

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.480
 is what most have figured out or walked through.

00:04:32.740 --> 00:04:36.819
 And, you know, if you grew up in church, you're probably familiar with the story of Job

00:04:36.819 --> 00:04:41.820
 and, you know, where a righteous and wealthy father of 10 children lost everything in an instant.

00:04:42.820 --> 00:04:46.420
 You know, the headline for Job would be devastating.

00:04:46.420 --> 00:04:55.920
 But we understand that what Job records for us is important because, you know what?

00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.259
 We're going to encounter similar situations in our own lives.

00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:06.420
 We're going to encounter situations that may not be as tragic as Job's, but yet they may be.

00:05:06.580 --> 00:05:11.319
 They might not draw us through the challenges in the same way.

00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:16.060
 But, you know, what we can learn is that we can trust God.

00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.180
 We can trust God in tragedy.

00:05:20.779 --> 00:05:23.519
 And we look through for that here.

00:05:23.620 --> 00:05:27.120
 You know, we find here the first thing we're going to look at here is the devotion of Job.

00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:32.899
 Because, you know, there's a misconception today that if you just serve God, life's going to be great.

00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.500
 You know, there's people who stand up and preach that.

00:05:36.740 --> 00:05:37.199
 You know what?

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:42.039
 As soon as somebody says that, I know they're a false teacher because they haven't read the book.

00:05:43.159 --> 00:05:44.560
 Will God be with you?

00:05:44.659 --> 00:05:46.899
 Will God help you through everything in life?

00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:51.099
 But no place in the Bible that says, trust me and everything's going to be perfect.

00:05:53.500 --> 00:05:55.360
 Matter of fact, Jesus tells us otherwise.

00:05:55.459 --> 00:05:57.680
 You're going to have suffering and trials and tribulations.

00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.560
 Because you live in a fallen world.

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.219
 But God says, I'm going to use those things for your good.

00:06:03.220 --> 00:06:06.980
 You know, look here this morning at the devotion of Job.

00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.740
 Look here at verse 2.

00:06:09.300 --> 00:06:11.680
 In Job chapter 1, it says this.

00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:13.180
 Let's just start at verse 1.

00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:16.520
 It says, there was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job.

00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.760
 And there's a man that perfect and upright and one that feared God and eschewed evil.

00:06:21.760 --> 00:06:26.220
 And they were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

00:06:27.080 --> 00:06:30.960
 You know, if your children are a heritage of the Lord, Job was rich.

00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:31.960
 He had ten kids.

00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:33.479
 He had a vibrant family.

00:06:33.919 --> 00:06:35.839
 Job was blessed with a large family.

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.919
 We learn that he was blessed by God.

00:06:40.919 --> 00:06:46.339
 You know, when we understand that his children were not a burden, but a blessing.

00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:50.199
 But we see he had a large family.

00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:51.799
 We see that he was a wealthy man.

00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:52.719
 Look at verse 3.

00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.180
 It tells us this.

00:06:54.180 --> 00:07:14.620
 In other words, Job was what everybody wanted to be.

00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:22.079
 You know, everybody knows today people take wealthy people and people that are on the pinnacle of society and say, that's who we want to be.

00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.399
 You know, everybody knew who Job was.

00:07:26.860 --> 00:07:29.120
 Job was the guy everybody aspired to be.

00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:30.899
 Look how God, look what Job had.

00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:31.720
 Large family.

00:07:31.860 --> 00:07:32.660
 Large possessions.

00:07:32.660 --> 00:07:34.920
 Everything's going good in Job's life.

00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:40.800
 You know, the Bible tells us that he was the greatest in the East.

00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:44.060
 And he had substance and status.

00:07:44.060 --> 00:07:47.579
 But you know what God noted?

00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:50.780
 He made a side note of his substance and his status.

00:07:51.139 --> 00:07:53.220
 But God made the biggest deal about Job's faith.

00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.379
 Because Job's faith is what made the difference.

00:07:58.300 --> 00:08:03.100
 It's clear Job's faith was a central component of his life.

00:08:03.579 --> 00:08:05.040
 You know, notice there in verse 1.

00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.040
 And it says, whose name was Job.

00:08:07.200 --> 00:08:10.640
 And the man was perfect and upright and one that feared God.

00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.760
 And he skewed evil.

00:08:13.640 --> 00:08:15.819
 You know, Job was said to be perfect and upright.

00:08:16.020 --> 00:08:18.879
 Now, I want you to understand, it doesn't mean Job was sinless.

00:08:21.020 --> 00:08:25.500
 Nobody other than Jesus Christ has ever walked this earth that was sinless.

00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:28.900
 He is the only one.

00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.939
 But we understand that Job was upright.

00:08:31.939 --> 00:08:42.559
 This verse is very clear that Job loved the Lord and wanted to do what God had for him.

00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:47.299
 You know, when we understand Job's significance came from his faith in God.

00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:54.960
 You know, one of the important things that we can learn about trusting God in tragedy from the life of Job is this,

00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:59.360
 is make your devotion to God the priority of your life.

00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.379
 Make your devotion to God the priority of your life.

00:09:03.779 --> 00:09:06.419
 Job's life was not centered around his kids.

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.000
 It was not centered around his possessions.

00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:19.700
 As you read through chapter 1, you'll find Job's priority was his relationship to God and his family's relationship to God.

00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:24.200
 Those other things had to take oversight and had to take, but they were in the right place.

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:26.259
 There's nothing wrong with being wealthy.

00:09:26.259 --> 00:09:31.639
 There's nothing wrong with having a large family or having God's blessing in those areas.

00:09:31.740 --> 00:09:32.299
 But you know what?

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.939
 Our relationship to God still supersedes those.

00:09:35.259 --> 00:09:36.399
 And Job was clear.

00:09:36.580 --> 00:09:40.019
 Job's family and fortune and health were dear to him.

00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.659
 And he was devastated by their loss.

00:09:43.740 --> 00:09:47.559
 But ultimately, they weren't the central aspect of his life.

00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:53.919
 Because as you read through the book of Job, it deals with men and God.

00:09:55.139 --> 00:09:58.019
 It deals with the reality of how that plays out.

00:09:58.119 --> 00:10:03.959
 And it's a good reminder even for us, if our possessions are the most significant thing in our lives,

00:10:04.079 --> 00:10:06.879
 what happens when they break or they're lost?

00:10:08.339 --> 00:10:10.079
 You know, when things get taken away?

00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.340
 When your position diminishes?

00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:17.580
 You know, you can have people rise to prominence and disappear into obscurity.

00:10:17.940 --> 00:10:21.060
 You know, our significance isn't in our status or what happens.

00:10:22.820 --> 00:10:26.920
 Our families, our marriages, and other important relationships are good.

00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.759
 But our relationship with God is the most important.

00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.379
 You know, Job had substance, but he honored God with it.

00:10:35.560 --> 00:10:36.620
 To honor the Lord.

00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:40.019
 You know, Proverbs 3.9 tells us this.

00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:44.460
 Honor the Lord with thy substance and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.

00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:49.860
 He had a great family, but he put the Lord before the family.

00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:54.460
 It says he feared God, you know, and eschewed evil, you know.

00:10:56.460 --> 00:10:58.500
 Let's look what this looked like.

00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:00.000
 Look at verse 4 in chapter 1.

00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:00.279
 It says,

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:04.299
 His sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day.

00:11:04.299 --> 00:11:07.659
 And he sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:13.379
 And it was so when the days of their feasting were gone about that Job sent and sanctified them

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:18.419
 and rose up early in the morning and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all.

00:11:18.839 --> 00:11:19.559
 For Job said,

00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:23.579
 It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their heart.

00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:26.039
 Thus did Job continually.

00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.259
 You know what?

00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.240
 Job was concerned about his family.

00:11:31.819 --> 00:11:35.579
 He was not concerned about them financially as much as he was spiritually.

00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.259
 He wanted them to learn to fear God just as he had.

00:11:41.959 --> 00:11:44.959
 You know, and we see Job's family gathering.

00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.399
 But Job made a feast.

00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:53.639
 After the feast, Job made an altar and worshiped the Lord and even interceded on behalf of his kids.

00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:55.860
 You know, he did that just in case his kids said,

00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:57.100
 Lord, have mercy on them.

00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:59.199
 You know what Job knew?

00:11:59.299 --> 00:12:01.879
 Job knew that kids do things they shouldn't do.

00:12:02.319 --> 00:12:03.620
 Because he knew who he was.

00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:04.819
 He knew who his kids were.

00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:07.340
 But he wanted them.

00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:08.279
 He prayed for them.

00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:14.019
 The Bible also tells us that Job askewed or avoided evil.

00:12:14.939 --> 00:12:19.059
 And actual reverence for God and avoidance and evil are linked together.

00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:24.739
 You know, at the end of Job there in Job chapter 28, in verse 28, it says,

00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:30.479
 Unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and depart from evil is understanding.

00:12:31.259 --> 00:12:34.339
 You know, the fear of the Lord and departing from evil are connected.

00:12:35.459 --> 00:12:38.259
 You can't separate those things.

00:12:38.359 --> 00:12:43.339
 And when we understand Job's relationship with God was central to his life.

00:12:43.340 --> 00:12:46.540
 And it gave him strength for what was to come.

00:12:47.060 --> 00:12:53.240
 Because trusting God in those difficult days began with trusting God when things were going good.

00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:59.220
 I want you to understand that if you're going to trust God in the difficulty,

00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:05.019
 difficulties are going to be easier if you've already put your faith in God before you get to that point.

00:13:06.040 --> 00:13:07.759
 If you're going to walk with him.

00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:14.200
 Because we know the second part of Job's life is that we know his devotion, but how about the devastation?

00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.899
 You know, one thing I've learned as you read through the book of Job,

00:13:19.019 --> 00:13:21.279
 prosperity preachers get killed by the book of Job.

00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:23.179
 Just slaughtered in their philosophy.

00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:27.939
 Because you think about God, here's God building up Job saying,

00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.559
 Hey, here's a guy who loves me.

00:13:30.659 --> 00:13:31.419
 He fears me.

00:13:31.460 --> 00:13:33.939
 He's trying to do what is right before me.

00:13:34.139 --> 00:13:36.399
 He worships me the way he ought to worship.

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.939
 He's doing the right things.

00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:39.639
 He's got the right focus.

00:13:41.459 --> 00:13:43.939
 You know, that's quite a cheerleader list from God, isn't it?

00:13:44.059 --> 00:13:45.139
 But look what happens.

00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:47.699
 There's a devastation, you know.

00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:53.220
 Most of the problem is, I think most of us want to live in the first five verses of Job.

00:13:55.079 --> 00:13:56.419
 When everything's going good.

00:13:58.379 --> 00:14:00.199
 You know, I don't know about you, that sounds pretty good.

00:14:00.299 --> 00:14:02.159
 You know, first five verses of Job, let's stop there.

00:14:02.419 --> 00:14:03.659
 But does it stop there, does it?

00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:12.719
 It reveals what's going on because unbeknownst to Job, there was something taking place.

00:14:12.779 --> 00:14:14.679
 Look at verse six of chapter one now.

00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:16.000
 It says,

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:21.399
 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

00:14:21.779 --> 00:14:23.019
 And the Lord said unto Satan,

00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:24.039
 Whence comest thou?

00:14:24.100 --> 00:14:26.759
 And Satan answered the Lord and said,

00:14:26.860 --> 00:14:30.399
 From going to and fro in the earth and from walking up and down in it.

00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:32.120
 And the Lord said unto Satan,

00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:34.000
 Hast thou considered my servant Job?

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:35.539
 For there is none like him in the earth,

00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.480
 a perfect and upright man,

00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:39.259
 one that feareth God and escheweth evil.

00:14:39.259 --> 00:14:41.279
 And then Satan answered the Lord,

00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:45.740
 Does Job fear God for not?

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.899
 You know, we see here that in response to what's happening,

00:14:51.019 --> 00:14:53.460
 God draws attention to Job's righteousness.

00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.000
 You know, and then Satan asks,

00:14:57.439 --> 00:15:00.120
 now directly questions Job's motive.

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:01.519
 You know,

00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:05.279
 Doth Job fear God for not?

00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.919
 You know, look at verse 10.

00:15:08.059 --> 00:15:08.659
 It says this,

00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:13.600
 Hast thou made a hedge about him and about his house and about all that he hath on every side?

00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:18.339
 Thou hast blessed the work of his hands and his substance is increased in the land.

00:15:18.539 --> 00:15:19.159
 You know what?

00:15:19.620 --> 00:15:20.819
 Job's faith,

00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:24.379
 Satan said he only trusts you because you've blessed him.

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.919
 Because of all the good things he's enjoying.

00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.379
 It's the only reason Job trusts you.

00:15:31.699 --> 00:15:32.819
 Because look at verse 11.

00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:35.100
 Look at Satan's accusation.

00:15:35.100 --> 00:15:35.620
 He says this,

00:15:35.680 --> 00:15:38.340
 But put forth thine hand now and touch all that he hath,

00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:40.940
 and he will curse thee to thy face.

00:15:41.100 --> 00:15:42.860
 What's the accusation against Job?

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.379
 What's Satan's accusation?

00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:47.920
 Yeah, it's not real.

00:15:48.040 --> 00:15:48.259
 He says,

00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:50.399
 Job's faith is a fake.

00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:51.399
 He's faking it.

00:15:52.540 --> 00:15:55.019
 It's easy to do that when everything's going good.

00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:55.460
 You know,

00:15:55.580 --> 00:15:58.279
 the devil's a master of half-truth.

00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:00.100
 Because part of what he said is true.

00:16:00.180 --> 00:16:02.680
 It is easier to trust God when everything's going well.

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:03.500
 That's true.

00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:05.679
 I think we can all agree.

00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:06.639
 It's easy to be on board.

00:16:06.700 --> 00:16:07.360
 Well, God's blessing.

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:07.639
 Amen.

00:16:08.539 --> 00:16:10.080
 Trust, praise God, you know.

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:12.700
 That's easy.

00:16:12.700 --> 00:16:16.840
 But the second part that Satan said,

00:16:16.900 --> 00:16:17.120
 he says,

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:17.400
 Hey,

00:16:18.400 --> 00:16:20.300
 Job will praise you when things are going good,

00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:23.840
 but you just stop taking so good a care of him

00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.040
 and put him to a test here a little bit,

00:16:26.060 --> 00:16:27.800
 and he's just going to curse you.

00:16:28.040 --> 00:16:28.240
 You know,

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:31.020
 it's ironic that the Satan really puts forth

00:16:31.020 --> 00:16:33.480
 what a lot of people have and do in their life.

00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:36.120
 They trust God when it's easy,

00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:37.560
 and they don't trust him when it's not.

00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.279
 I think his accusation had some merit,

00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:42.439
 but you know what?

00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:45.619
 When our heart is right with God,

00:16:45.699 --> 00:16:47.500
 we'll trust him even in the tragedy.

00:16:47.739 --> 00:16:50.679
 Because we find here that God granted permission

00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:55.259
 for Job's faith to be put to a test.

00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:57.619
 You know,

00:16:57.619 --> 00:16:59.359
 how do you find out if something is true?

00:16:59.699 --> 00:16:59.919
 You know,

00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:02.379
 it has to be tested.

00:17:04.059 --> 00:17:06.019
 It has to be put to a test to say,

00:17:06.159 --> 00:17:07.259
 is it measure up?

00:17:07.659 --> 00:17:09.920
 Because it's easy to say something,

00:17:10.579 --> 00:17:13.319
 but it means more when it's actually done.

00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.899
 When we accomplish or do what we ought to do.

00:17:18.539 --> 00:17:18.859
 You know,

00:17:18.879 --> 00:17:20.220
 when those things come about,

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:22.460
 you know,

00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:23.579
 why do we test things?

00:17:23.639 --> 00:17:23.740
 You know,

00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:25.559
 you think about all the things we test in life,

00:17:25.639 --> 00:17:25.879
 you know,

00:17:26.299 --> 00:17:27.480
 it's one of those things that,

00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:28.440
 you know,

00:17:28.659 --> 00:17:29.500
 here recently,

00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:29.879
 you know,

00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.120
 you see a different things being tested,

00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:32.539
 you know,

00:17:32.820 --> 00:17:33.840
 a lot of things in the news,

00:17:33.940 --> 00:17:35.480
 you see rockets being tested.

00:17:36.779 --> 00:17:37.100
 You know,

00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:40.539
 why do they not just put something on them

00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:41.180
 and just stick,

00:17:41.259 --> 00:17:41.920
 stick them on the,

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:43.340
 on the shelf and wait?

00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:45.640
 Why do they test them?

00:17:45.700 --> 00:17:47.400
 Why they want to see if it's going to do

00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:50.880
 or perform the way it was supposed to perform.

00:17:51.800 --> 00:17:52.640
 The only way,

00:17:52.740 --> 00:17:53.160
 you know,

00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.240
 if it's genuine and it's going to function

00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:56.039
 is to test it.

00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.820
 It has to be tested to know if it's true.

00:17:59.819 --> 00:18:01.599
 You know,

00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:02.879
 how do we do science?

00:18:03.019 --> 00:18:04.720
 Somebody doesn't come up with a hypothesis

00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:05.559
 and say,

00:18:05.659 --> 00:18:06.639
 I think this is true.

00:18:06.740 --> 00:18:08.939
 So therefore we can bank on it.

00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:11.419
 What do they have to do?

00:18:11.460 --> 00:18:12.259
 They have to put it out.

00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:12.519
 What?

00:18:13.399 --> 00:18:14.039
 To a test.

00:18:14.740 --> 00:18:16.099
 Does it actually produce?

00:18:17.139 --> 00:18:18.240
 Does it come to fruition?

00:18:18.679 --> 00:18:19.759
 The same dynamic,

00:18:19.939 --> 00:18:21.960
 God allows tests in our life

00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.559
 that we might,

00:18:22.899 --> 00:18:23.899
 he might find

00:18:23.899 --> 00:18:26.039
 and reveal even to ourselves,

00:18:26.159 --> 00:18:27.039
 where is our faith?

00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:29.339
 What do we trust?

00:18:29.619 --> 00:18:29.779
 You know,

00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:31.339
 the true quality of our faith

00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:33.339
 can be only be revealed under pressure.

00:18:34.859 --> 00:18:35.319
 You know,

00:18:35.339 --> 00:18:35.920
 I want you to understand

00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:37.740
 there's no exemption for suffering.

00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:38.200
 You know,

00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:39.119
 we live in a generation

00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:40.139
 that wants an exemption.

00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:41.819
 You ever know,

00:18:41.859 --> 00:18:43.440
 everybody wants their exemption.

00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:44.619
 They want their carve out.

00:18:45.619 --> 00:18:45.859
 You know,

00:18:46.019 --> 00:18:46.779
 we want it.

00:18:46.819 --> 00:18:48.819
 We don't want to have to face this part of it.

00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:51.059
 You know,

00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.180
 we're coming up to the first of the year.

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:55.440
 A lot of people are thinking about taxes.

00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:56.880
 Everybody wants a tax exemption.

00:18:58.420 --> 00:18:58.980
 You know,

00:18:59.019 --> 00:19:00.700
 what part can I be exempt from?

00:19:02.320 --> 00:19:02.680
 You know,

00:19:02.820 --> 00:19:05.860
 or parents want exemption

00:19:05.860 --> 00:19:08.059
 to the rules for their children.

00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:09.799
 You know,

00:19:09.980 --> 00:19:11.519
 make an exception for mine.

00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:11.880
 You know,

00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.460
 it's like they want things played out.

00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:15.880
 You want those things.

00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:17.380
 Employees want exemptions

00:19:17.380 --> 00:19:19.019
 for themselves in work policy.

00:19:20.019 --> 00:19:20.320
 You know,

00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:21.519
 you can name a list,

00:19:21.600 --> 00:19:22.580
 go down the list of things

00:19:22.580 --> 00:19:23.920
 people want exemption from.

00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:25.480
 But you know,

00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:26.140
 in this life,

00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:26.940
 you're not exempt

00:19:26.940 --> 00:19:27.920
 from the realities

00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.000
 of suffering.

00:19:31.019 --> 00:19:32.580
 We're not exempt from it.

00:19:33.460 --> 00:19:33.660
 You know,

00:19:34.060 --> 00:19:35.640
 Job was a righteous man

00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:36.880
 that didn't exclude him

00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:37.620
 from suffering.

00:19:38.560 --> 00:19:38.880
 Matter of fact,

00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:39.779
 you know what God said?

00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:41.580
 Job qualifies for it.

00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:44.240
 Job qualifies

00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:45.400
 to stand the test.

00:19:47.019 --> 00:19:47.920
 Because you ever notice

00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:48.620
 something about a test,

00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:49.539
 let's put it this way.

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:52.299
 when you have a test

00:19:52.299 --> 00:19:52.960
 that happens

00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.039
 and everything goes

00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.680
 as you expected it to go,

00:19:56.859 --> 00:19:57.920
 how's your response?

00:19:58.180 --> 00:19:58.819
 You rejoice

00:19:58.819 --> 00:19:59.779
 when you see the right,

00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:00.659
 hey,

00:20:00.819 --> 00:20:02.079
 this is what we worked for,

00:20:02.159 --> 00:20:03.319
 this is what we laid out,

00:20:03.399 --> 00:20:04.639
 this is what we expect,

00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:06.059
 and now it happened.

00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:06.680
 You know what,

00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:07.720
 when God put Job

00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:08.500
 to the test,

00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:10.859
 God was seeing

00:20:10.859 --> 00:20:12.220
 if his faith was real

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:14.740
 because God knew

00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:15.819
 Job's heart.

00:20:16.139 --> 00:20:16.500
 You know what,

00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:17.299
 God already knew

00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:18.960
 the answer to the question

00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:19.900
 before it was asked.

00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:21.440
 Before the devil tempted him,

00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:22.079
 you know that God

00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:23.039
 knew Job's heart?

00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:24.099
 The Bible tells us

00:20:24.099 --> 00:20:24.859
 that God knows

00:20:24.859 --> 00:20:25.700
 the inner things

00:20:25.700 --> 00:20:26.359
 of your heart.

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:27.640
 This test wasn't

00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:28.880
 for the sake of God.

00:20:29.099 --> 00:20:30.000
 That's a misconception

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:31.119
 of the book of Job.

00:20:31.339 --> 00:20:32.299
 God didn't do this

00:20:32.299 --> 00:20:33.019
 for his benefit.

00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:33.900
 He did this

00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:34.759
 for Job's benefit.

00:20:35.980 --> 00:20:36.940
 He allowed it

00:20:36.940 --> 00:20:37.819
 for his benefit

00:20:37.819 --> 00:20:38.819
 because you know what,

00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:40.539
 Job's faith grew

00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:43.140
 mightily

00:20:43.140 --> 00:20:43.880
 from the beginning

00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:44.880
 of the book of Job

00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:46.000
 to the end

00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:46.660
 of the book of Job.

00:20:46.860 --> 00:20:48.000
 There was a practical

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:48.840
 sanctification

00:20:48.840 --> 00:20:49.940
 that took place

00:20:49.940 --> 00:20:50.940
 in Job's life

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:52.240
 through the situation.

00:20:52.560 --> 00:20:52.700
 You know,

00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:53.640
 when we understand

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:54.640
 these moments

00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:55.880
 change everything,

00:20:57.060 --> 00:20:57.220
 you know,

00:20:57.280 --> 00:20:58.900
 Job could understood

00:20:58.900 --> 00:20:59.980
 what it was like

00:20:59.980 --> 00:21:01.120
 to have devastation.

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:01.300
 You know,

00:21:01.320 --> 00:21:02.340
 look at verse 13

00:21:02.340 --> 00:21:03.760
 in chapter 1.

00:21:03.840 --> 00:21:04.540
 Now there was a day

00:21:04.540 --> 00:21:05.740
 when his sons and daughters

00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:06.980
 were eating and drinking wine

00:21:06.980 --> 00:21:08.180
 in their eldest brother's house

00:21:08.180 --> 00:21:09.560
 and there came a messenger

00:21:09.560 --> 00:21:10.400
 unto Job

00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:11.880
 and said the oxen

00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:12.500
 were plowing

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:13.220
 and the asses

00:21:13.220 --> 00:21:14.220
 feeding beside them

00:21:14.220 --> 00:21:16.339
 and the Sabians

00:21:16.339 --> 00:21:17.819
 fell upon them

00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:18.700
 and took them away.

00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:18.980
 Yea,

00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:20.039
 they have slain

00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:20.600
 the servants

00:21:20.600 --> 00:21:21.120
 with the edge

00:21:21.120 --> 00:21:21.579
 of the sword

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:22.100
 and I am only

00:21:22.100 --> 00:21:22.819
 escaped alone

00:21:22.819 --> 00:21:23.400
 to tell thee

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:24.000
 and while he was

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:24.640
 yet speaking

00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:25.900
 there came also

00:21:25.900 --> 00:21:26.279
 another

00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:27.059
 and said the fire

00:21:27.059 --> 00:21:27.539
 of God

00:21:27.539 --> 00:21:28.360
 has fallen from heaven

00:21:28.360 --> 00:21:28.900
 and burned up

00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:29.360
 the sheep

00:21:29.360 --> 00:21:29.960
 and the servants

00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:30.779
 and consumed them

00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:31.940
 and I only am

00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:33.240
 escaped alone

00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:33.920
 to tell thee

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:34.559
 and while he was

00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:35.299
 yet speaking

00:21:35.299 --> 00:21:37.000
 there came also

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:37.420
 another

00:21:37.420 --> 00:21:38.519
 and said the Chaldeans

00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:40.600
 made out three bands

00:21:40.600 --> 00:21:41.759
 and fell upon the camels

00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:42.779
 and carried them away

00:21:42.779 --> 00:21:43.700
 and slain the servants

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:44.220
 with the edge

00:21:44.220 --> 00:21:44.680
 of the sword

00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:45.899
 and I only

00:21:45.899 --> 00:21:47.180
 am escaped

00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:48.980
 escaped alone

00:21:48.980 --> 00:21:49.700
 to tell thee

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:51.660
 and while he was

00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:52.319
 yet speaking

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:53.619
 there came also

00:21:53.619 --> 00:21:54.000
 another

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:54.299
 and said

00:21:54.299 --> 00:21:54.839
 thy sons

00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:55.500
 and thy daughters

00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:55.940
 were eating

00:21:55.940 --> 00:21:56.440
 and drinking

00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:56.839
 wine

00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:58.559
 in their eldest

00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:59.480
 brother's house

00:21:59.480 --> 00:21:59.879
 and behold

00:21:59.879 --> 00:22:00.559
 there came a great

00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:01.480
 wind from the wilderness

00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:02.099
 and smote

00:22:02.099 --> 00:22:02.819
 the four corners

00:22:02.819 --> 00:22:03.379
 of the house

00:22:03.379 --> 00:22:04.599
 and it fell upon

00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:05.339
 the young men

00:22:05.339 --> 00:22:06.220
 and they are dead

00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:07.539
 and I only

00:22:07.539 --> 00:22:08.579
 am escaped

00:22:08.579 --> 00:22:09.259
 to tell thee

00:22:09.259 --> 00:22:09.899
 now you talk

00:22:09.899 --> 00:22:10.759
 about a bad day

00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:11.779
 you know there's a phrase

00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:12.480
 that rings out

00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:13.140
 of each one of them

00:22:13.140 --> 00:22:13.859
 as the one

00:22:13.859 --> 00:22:15.019
 was yet speaking

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.920
 another one

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:16.640
 shows up

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.299
 before he even

00:22:19.299 --> 00:22:19.799
 got done

00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:20.579
 with the worst

00:22:20.579 --> 00:22:21.859
 the bad news

00:22:21.859 --> 00:22:24.640
 the snowball effect

00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:25.720
 of problems

00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:26.859
 just seemed to show up

00:22:26.859 --> 00:22:28.119
 everything you have

00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:29.160
 including your family

00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:29.700
 is gone

00:22:29.700 --> 00:22:30.379
 now I want you

00:22:30.379 --> 00:22:31.099
 to think about this

00:22:31.099 --> 00:22:32.220
 in a single day

00:22:32.220 --> 00:22:34.440
 in the matter

00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:36.000
 of minutes

00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.039
 Job lost

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:37.920
 all his possessions

00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:39.880
 he lost

00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:40.740
 his livelihood

00:22:40.740 --> 00:22:43.120
 and his family

00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:43.700
 you know

00:22:43.700 --> 00:22:44.700
 when we understand

00:22:44.700 --> 00:22:45.360
 and we know

00:22:45.360 --> 00:22:45.980
 from the rest

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:46.620
 of the story

00:22:46.620 --> 00:22:47.920
 that was just

00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.640
 Job's immediate loss

00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:50.580
 as the story

00:22:50.580 --> 00:22:51.240
 continues

00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:52.539
 God points out

00:22:52.539 --> 00:22:54.460
 something about Job

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:55.279
 you know

00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:55.960
 look here at Job

00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:56.560
 chapter 2

00:22:56.560 --> 00:22:57.600
 look down at verse 3

00:22:57.600 --> 00:22:59.080
 and the Lord

00:22:59.080 --> 00:22:59.940
 said unto Satan

00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:00.900
 hast thou considered

00:23:00.900 --> 00:23:01.960
 my servant Job

00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:02.700
 that there is none

00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:03.640
 like him in the earth

00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:04.700
 a perfect

00:23:04.700 --> 00:23:05.600
 and upright man

00:23:05.600 --> 00:23:06.519
 one that feareth God

00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:07.160
 and iskeweth evil

00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:08.759
 and still he holdeth

00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:09.860
 fast his integrity

00:23:09.860 --> 00:23:11.420
 although thou movest

00:23:11.420 --> 00:23:12.300
 me against him

00:23:12.300 --> 00:23:13.160
 to destroy him

00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:14.160
 without cause

00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:16.440
 you know

00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:18.019
 think about that

00:23:18.019 --> 00:23:18.580
 for a moment

00:23:18.580 --> 00:23:20.040
 he held fast

00:23:20.040 --> 00:23:21.279
 his integrity

00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:23.840
 in other words

00:23:23.840 --> 00:23:24.720
 Job said

00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:25.480
 I'm not going to

00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:26.940
 change my faith

00:23:26.940 --> 00:23:28.240
 or my trust in God

00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:29.720
 no matter what happens

00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:31.720
 what's Satan's response

00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:32.740
 he says

00:23:32.740 --> 00:23:33.200
 well let's

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.440
 let's touch his health

00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:37.100
 the only thing

00:23:37.100 --> 00:23:37.799
 he had left

00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:38.440
 and he says

00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:39.059
 Job's going to

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:39.500
 curse you

00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:40.019
 and die

00:23:40.019 --> 00:23:41.000
 so God agrees

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:41.420
 he says

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:42.759
 okay go ahead

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:43.779
 and ratchet it up

00:23:43.779 --> 00:23:46.440
 you know we find

00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:46.640
 in

00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:48.559
 look here at verse 6

00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:49.400
 of chapter 2

00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:50.039
 and the Lord

00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:50.779
 said unto Satan

00:23:50.779 --> 00:23:51.279
 behold

00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:52.880
 he is in thine hand

00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:53.920
 but save his life

00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:54.880
 so Satan went forth

00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:55.440
 from the presence

00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:55.980
 of the Lord

00:23:55.980 --> 00:23:56.860
 and smote Job

00:23:56.860 --> 00:23:58.200
 with sore boils

00:23:58.200 --> 00:23:59.440
 from the sole of his foot

00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:00.320
 unto his crown

00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.379
 and he took a pot shirt

00:24:02.379 --> 00:24:03.299
 to scrape himself

00:24:03.299 --> 00:24:03.700
 withal

00:24:03.700 --> 00:24:04.399
 and he sat down

00:24:04.399 --> 00:24:05.379
 amongst the ashes

00:24:05.379 --> 00:24:06.720
 you know

00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:08.819
 Job here is covered

00:24:08.819 --> 00:24:09.519
 with boils

00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:10.379
 and we find

00:24:10.379 --> 00:24:11.240
 as you read through there

00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:12.439
 the boils got infected

00:24:12.439 --> 00:24:13.259
 and you know

00:24:13.259 --> 00:24:14.019
 when your body's

00:24:14.019 --> 00:24:14.859
 covered with boils

00:24:14.859 --> 00:24:15.659
 and they get infected

00:24:15.659 --> 00:24:16.519
 it begins to affect

00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:17.519
 everything about you

00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:18.599
 you know the pain

00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:19.720
 and the agony

00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:20.480
 of that

00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:21.279
 and you know

00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:22.000
 then we find

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:23.759
 that Job's wife

00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:24.339
 comes

00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:26.500
 you know boy

00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:27.419
 she was an encouragement

 Job you're a bum

00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:29.259
 just curse God

00:24:29.259 --> 00:24:29.779
 and die

00:24:29.779 --> 00:24:30.619
 that's a help meet

00:24:30.619 --> 00:24:31.119
 for you

00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:32.720
 what a challenge

00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:34.240
 then his friends

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:34.779
 show up

00:24:34.779 --> 00:24:36.160
 his friends show up

00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:37.160
 and initially

00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:38.140
 they did pretty good

00:24:38.140 --> 00:24:39.019
 for seven days

00:24:39.019 --> 00:24:39.920
 they just sat there

00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:40.740
 and wept with him

00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:42.119
 and comforted him

00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:43.039
 you know sometimes

00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:44.839
 you'll find something

00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:45.619
 very important here

00:24:45.619 --> 00:24:46.359
 in the book of Job

00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:46.660
 you know

00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:50.359
 his friends just came

00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:51.500
 to be with him

00:24:51.500 --> 00:24:52.379
 you know one of the best

00:24:52.379 --> 00:24:53.279
 things you can do

00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:54.259
 to help a fellow

00:24:54.259 --> 00:24:55.519
 somebody else

00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:56.400
 in time of grief

00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:57.079
 is be present

00:24:57.079 --> 00:24:58.519
 presence speaks higher

00:24:58.519 --> 00:24:59.440
 than anything else

00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:00.379
 his friends came

00:25:00.379 --> 00:25:01.240
 look at verse 11

00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:02.000
 of chapter 2

00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:02.740
 now when Job's

00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:03.220
 three friends

00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:04.180
 heard all this evil

00:25:04.180 --> 00:25:04.819
 was upon him

00:25:04.819 --> 00:25:05.660
 they came everyone

00:25:05.660 --> 00:25:07.279
 from his own place

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:09.119
 and he lists them

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:09.639
 out there

00:25:09.639 --> 00:25:11.680
 Ephaz the Temamite

00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:13.779
 and Bildad the Shuhite

00:25:13.779 --> 00:25:15.139
 and the Zophar

00:25:15.139 --> 00:25:16.759
 the Namahite

00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:17.980
 for they had made

00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:18.639
 an appointment

00:25:18.639 --> 00:25:20.339
 together to come

00:25:20.339 --> 00:25:21.339
 to mourn with him

00:25:21.339 --> 00:25:22.200
 and to comfort him

00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:23.799
 and they had lifted up

00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:25.079
 their eyes afar off

00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:25.920
 and knew him not

00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:26.980
 and lifted up their voice

00:25:26.980 --> 00:25:27.480
 and wept

00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:28.039
 and they rent

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:29.440
 everyone his mantle

00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:30.279
 and sprinkled dust

00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:31.059
 upon their heads

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:31.660
 towards heaven

00:25:31.660 --> 00:25:33.259
 so they sat down

00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:34.220
 with him upon the ground

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:35.019
 seven days

00:25:35.019 --> 00:25:35.960
 and seven nights

00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:37.799
 now here's some good

00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:38.500
 advice for you

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:39.160
 when it comes to

00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:40.279
 helping somebody grieving

00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:41.339
 notice what they did

00:25:41.339 --> 00:25:42.420
 none spake a word

00:25:42.420 --> 00:25:42.900
 unto him

00:25:42.900 --> 00:25:43.620
 I'll put a little

00:25:43.620 --> 00:25:44.480
 bit of thing

00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:47.000
 sometimes the best

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:47.720
 thing you can say

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:48.539
 is nothing

00:25:48.539 --> 00:25:50.900
 but be present

00:25:50.900 --> 00:25:53.039
 because you know

00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:53.480
 what one of the

00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:54.039
 tendencies when

00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:54.880
 something bad happens

00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:55.539
 we usually say

00:25:55.539 --> 00:25:56.160
 something dumb

00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:56.800
 you know

00:25:56.800 --> 00:25:58.759
 that's not really

00:25:58.759 --> 00:25:59.200
 helpful

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.019
 if you want to

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:00.640
 say something

00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:02.680
 say let's pray

00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:03.080
 together

00:26:03.080 --> 00:26:04.120
 or just pray for

00:26:04.120 --> 00:26:04.320
 them

00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:05.019
 because what you

00:26:05.019 --> 00:26:05.519
 say is probably

00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:05.880
 not going to

00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:06.560
 solve their problem

00:26:06.560 --> 00:26:06.960
 or make them

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:07.480
 feel any better

00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:07.960
 anyways

00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.200
 you know

00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:12.220
 presence makes

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:12.759
 a difference

00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:13.740
 presence is

00:26:13.740 --> 00:26:14.220
 important

00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:15.120
 why did they

00:26:15.120 --> 00:26:15.560
 do that

00:26:15.560 --> 00:26:16.279
 for they saw

00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:17.060
 that his grief

00:26:17.060 --> 00:26:17.980
 was very great

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:18.360
 you know

00:26:18.360 --> 00:26:18.840
 it wasn't

00:26:18.840 --> 00:26:19.640
 long though

00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:20.580
 after seven days

00:26:20.580 --> 00:26:21.220
 they began to

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:21.759
 theorize

00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:22.279
 okay what's

00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:22.779
 going on

00:26:22.779 --> 00:26:24.639
 this is that

00:26:24.639 --> 00:26:25.319
 helpful thing

00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:26.279
 that sometimes

00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:27.000
 people hurry

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.759
 into you know

00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:28.839
 they begin to

00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:29.940
 Monday morning

00:26:29.940 --> 00:26:30.920
 quarterback the

00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:32.079
 situation you know

00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:33.500
 and we find here

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:34.039
 through the next

00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:34.879
 chapters you know

00:26:34.879 --> 00:26:35.559
 chapters three

00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:36.480
 through thirty one

00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:37.720
 Job provided

00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:39.680
 dialogue between

00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:40.579
 Job and his

00:26:40.579 --> 00:26:41.379
 friends and the

00:26:41.379 --> 00:26:43.039
 main sticking point

00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:43.859
 in this extended

00:26:43.859 --> 00:26:44.980
 dialogue was the

00:26:44.980 --> 00:26:46.779
 repeated insistence

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:49.599
 that Job was

00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:50.839
 suffering because he

00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:51.779
 did something wrong

00:26:51.779 --> 00:26:52.339
 you ever notice

00:26:52.339 --> 00:26:52.980
 that's our nature

00:26:52.980 --> 00:26:53.480
 to go that

00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:53.859
 direction

00:26:53.859 --> 00:26:55.480
 why is God

00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:56.039
 allowing this

00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:56.920
 well they must

00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:57.240
 have something

00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:58.039
 they need to

00:26:58.039 --> 00:26:58.480
 deal with

00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:01.099
 now I want you

00:27:01.099 --> 00:27:01.539
 to understand

00:27:01.539 --> 00:27:02.460
 that may be the

00:27:02.460 --> 00:27:03.339
 case but you

00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:03.779
 know what there's

00:27:03.779 --> 00:27:05.180
 a 50-50 shot

00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:05.779
 or greater it's

00:27:05.779 --> 00:27:06.139
 not

00:27:06.139 --> 00:27:07.960
 we find here

00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:09.960
 that Job's

00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:11.500
 friend took a

00:27:11.500 --> 00:27:12.160
 doctrinally

00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:13.259
 correct truth that

00:27:13.259 --> 00:27:14.059
 God will deal

00:27:14.059 --> 00:27:15.200
 with those that

00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:15.700
 sin he'll

00:27:15.700 --> 00:27:16.920
 chastise those

00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:18.519
 that need to be

00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:19.079
 corrected

00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:21.500
 and sometimes

00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:22.679
 suffering is a

00:27:22.679 --> 00:27:23.599
 result of sin

00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:24.220
 and turned it

00:27:24.220 --> 00:27:25.899
 into a universal

00:27:25.899 --> 00:27:26.740
 maxim that

00:27:26.740 --> 00:27:27.839
 suffering is always

00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:28.879
 the result of sin

00:27:28.879 --> 00:27:29.399
 you know what

00:27:29.399 --> 00:27:30.859
 Job didn't do

00:27:30.859 --> 00:27:31.480
 anything he

00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:32.240
 experienced great

00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:33.139
 suffering the

00:27:33.139 --> 00:27:33.839
 Bible didn't say

00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:34.619
 he was perfect

00:27:34.619 --> 00:27:35.339
 but his heart was

00:27:35.339 --> 00:27:36.419
 perfect before God

00:27:36.419 --> 00:27:36.960
 because he says

00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:37.399
 God I'm going to

00:27:37.399 --> 00:27:38.699
 trust you and

00:27:38.699 --> 00:27:39.039
 you're going to be

00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:40.220
 the priority you

00:27:40.220 --> 00:27:41.599
 know they Job's

00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:42.559
 friends did something

00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:43.079
 you know the Bible

00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:44.039
 tells us in Romans

00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:44.980
 12-15 it says

00:27:44.980 --> 00:27:45.879
 rejoice with them

00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:46.620
 that do rejoice

00:27:46.620 --> 00:27:47.240
 and weep with

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:47.880
 them that weep

00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:49.920
 you know what

00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:50.500
 some weeks are

00:27:50.500 --> 00:27:51.000
 like that

00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:51.740
 this last week

00:27:51.740 --> 00:27:52.140
 we had two

00:27:52.140 --> 00:27:52.580
 funerals

00:27:52.580 --> 00:27:53.420
 you weep with

00:27:53.420 --> 00:27:54.120
 those who weep

00:27:54.120 --> 00:27:54.440
 but you know

00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:55.000
 what this week

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:55.360
 we had a new

00:27:55.360 --> 00:27:55.760
 life

00:27:55.760 --> 00:27:57.580
 got a new

00:27:57.580 --> 00:27:58.240
 baby Pierce

00:27:58.240 --> 00:27:58.800
 you know what

00:27:58.800 --> 00:27:59.580
 Romans 12

00:27:59.580 --> 00:28:00.440
 explains last

00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:00.740
 week

00:28:00.740 --> 00:28:01.720
 weep with those

00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:02.280
 who weep

00:28:02.280 --> 00:28:03.320
 rejoice with

00:28:03.320 --> 00:28:04.160
 those who rejoice

00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:04.840
 you know those

00:28:04.840 --> 00:28:05.520
 are things that

00:28:05.520 --> 00:28:06.180
 are just part of

00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:06.460
 life

00:28:06.460 --> 00:28:07.980
 sometimes in the

00:28:07.980 --> 00:28:08.420
 same week

00:28:08.420 --> 00:28:09.080
 sometimes in the

00:28:09.080 --> 00:28:10.620
 same time frame

00:28:10.620 --> 00:28:11.240
 those things are

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:11.840
 going to happen

00:28:11.840 --> 00:28:14.340
 but I want you

00:28:14.340 --> 00:28:14.880
 to understand

00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:15.780
 someone's suffering

00:28:15.780 --> 00:28:16.460
 isn't just a

00:28:16.460 --> 00:28:17.320
 generic formula

00:28:17.320 --> 00:28:19.940
 we need to

00:28:19.940 --> 00:28:21.140
 understand what's

00:28:21.140 --> 00:28:22.060
 taking place

00:28:22.060 --> 00:28:24.740
 in this you know

00:28:24.740 --> 00:28:25.640
 because reducing

00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:26.700
 that to a formula

00:28:26.700 --> 00:28:27.860
 can be one of the

00:28:27.860 --> 00:28:28.560
 most painful

00:28:28.560 --> 00:28:30.120
 responses to a

00:28:30.120 --> 00:28:30.640
 friend who's

00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:30.980
 hurting

00:28:30.980 --> 00:28:33.820
 because even

00:28:33.820 --> 00:28:34.440
 though something

00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:35.280
 may be true

00:28:35.280 --> 00:28:36.020
 it can be used

00:28:36.020 --> 00:28:36.800
 unwisely

00:28:36.800 --> 00:28:37.500
 you know we can

00:28:37.500 --> 00:28:38.340
 apply another part

00:28:38.340 --> 00:28:38.860
 of our message

00:28:38.860 --> 00:28:39.360
 this morning

00:28:39.360 --> 00:28:39.960
 study to be

00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:40.320
 quiet

00:28:40.320 --> 00:28:41.060
 we see the

00:28:41.060 --> 00:28:42.020
 devastation of

00:28:42.020 --> 00:28:42.540
 his life

00:28:42.540 --> 00:28:43.400
 but also see the

00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:44.280
 declaration of

00:28:44.280 --> 00:28:44.680
 truth

00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:46.060
 because how

00:28:46.060 --> 00:28:46.560
 did Job

00:28:46.560 --> 00:28:47.440
 respond to

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:48.420
 the devastation

00:28:48.420 --> 00:28:48.860
 that turned

00:28:48.860 --> 00:28:49.400
 his life

00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:50.140
 upside down

00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:52.180
 you know

00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:52.860
 I don't know

00:28:52.860 --> 00:28:53.259
 about you

00:28:53.259 --> 00:28:53.720
 but I think

00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:54.759
 we can all

00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:55.519
 agree Job's

00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:56.100
 life went

00:28:56.100 --> 00:28:56.560
 from one

00:28:56.560 --> 00:28:57.180
 direction to

00:28:57.180 --> 00:28:57.620
 the other

00:28:57.620 --> 00:28:58.400
 pretty quickly

00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:00.759
 I mean

00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:01.500
 you talk about

00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:02.080
 getting kicked

00:29:02.080 --> 00:29:02.500
 out of the

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:02.980
 pan into

00:29:02.980 --> 00:29:03.480
 the fire

00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:03.880
 I mean

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:04.360
 it's like

00:29:04.360 --> 00:29:06.200
 life totally

00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:07.019
 upside down

00:29:07.019 --> 00:29:09.100
 look at

00:29:09.100 --> 00:29:09.539
 verse back

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:09.940
 in chapter

00:29:09.940 --> 00:29:10.360
 one look

00:29:10.360 --> 00:29:10.680
 at verse

00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:11.060
 20

00:29:11.059 --> 00:29:11.839
 then Job

00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:12.279
 arose

00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:12.859
 and rent

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:13.480
 his mantle

00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:13.960
 and shaved

00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:14.500
 his head

00:29:14.500 --> 00:29:15.579
 and fell

00:29:15.579 --> 00:29:16.079
 down upon

00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:16.740
 the ground

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.799
 now I want

00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:18.059
 you to see

00:29:18.059 --> 00:29:18.659
 it wasn't

00:29:18.659 --> 00:29:19.299
 that Job

00:29:19.299 --> 00:29:21.220
 didn't go to

00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:21.639
 the Lord

00:29:21.639 --> 00:29:22.399
 just bouncing

00:29:22.399 --> 00:29:23.559
 and giddy

00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:25.519
 but Job

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:26.119
 was grieving

00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:26.879
 his heart

00:29:26.879 --> 00:29:27.480
 was broken

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:29.779
 life was

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:30.419
 devastated

00:29:30.419 --> 00:29:31.119
 that's the

00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:31.619
 description

00:29:31.619 --> 00:29:32.099
 but you know

00:29:32.099 --> 00:29:32.579
 what he did

00:29:32.579 --> 00:29:33.960
 in the midst

00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:34.639
 of his grieving

00:29:34.639 --> 00:29:35.399
 he came

00:29:35.399 --> 00:29:36.359
 and worshipped

00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:37.559
 the Lord

00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:38.219
 he fell

00:29:38.219 --> 00:29:38.519
 on the

00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:38.819
 ground

00:29:38.819 --> 00:29:39.579
 and worshipped

00:29:39.579 --> 00:29:41.859
 and said

00:29:41.859 --> 00:29:42.439
 notice here

00:29:42.439 --> 00:29:43.359
 in the next

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:43.879
 verse he says

00:29:43.879 --> 00:29:44.639
 naked came

00:29:44.639 --> 00:29:45.119
 I out of

00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:45.679
 my mother's

00:29:45.679 --> 00:29:45.899
 womb

00:29:45.899 --> 00:29:46.359
 and naked

00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:46.859
 shall I

00:29:46.859 --> 00:29:47.240
 return

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:47.579
 thither

00:29:47.579 --> 00:29:48.939
 the Lord

00:29:48.939 --> 00:29:49.459
 gave

00:29:49.459 --> 00:29:49.819
 and the

00:29:49.819 --> 00:29:50.000
 Lord

00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:50.419
 taketh

00:29:50.419 --> 00:29:50.839
 away

00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:51.919
 blessed

00:29:51.919 --> 00:29:52.639
 be the

00:29:52.639 --> 00:29:53.099
 name

00:29:53.099 --> 00:29:53.379
 of the

00:29:53.379 --> 00:29:53.719
 Lord

00:29:53.719 --> 00:29:55.740
 now notice

00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:55.979
 verse

00:29:55.979 --> 00:29:56.539
 22

00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:59.339
 in all

00:29:59.339 --> 00:29:59.819
 this

00:29:59.819 --> 00:30:00.439
 Job

00:30:00.439 --> 00:30:01.059
 sinned

00:30:01.059 --> 00:30:01.459
 not

00:30:01.459 --> 00:30:02.679
 nor

00:30:02.679 --> 00:30:03.299
 charged

00:30:03.299 --> 00:30:03.919
 God

00:30:03.919 --> 00:30:05.519
 foolishly

00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:05.920
 you know

00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:06.319
 Job

00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:07.019
 understood

00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:07.839
 even though

00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:08.279
 he had

00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:08.920
 grief

00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:11.779
 often times

00:30:11.779 --> 00:30:12.119
 in our

00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:12.359
 mind

00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:12.700
 grief

00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:13.319
 and worship

00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:13.700
 are

00:30:13.700 --> 00:30:14.420
 incongruent

00:30:14.420 --> 00:30:14.740
 with one

00:30:14.740 --> 00:30:15.059
 another

00:30:15.059 --> 00:30:15.700
 when I'm

00:30:15.700 --> 00:30:16.079
 grieving

00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:16.559
 how can

00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:16.700
 I

00:30:16.700 --> 00:30:17.039
 worship

00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:17.400
 you know

00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:18.059
 no matter

00:30:18.059 --> 00:30:18.319
 what's

00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:18.720
 going on

00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:18.960
 in your

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:19.259
 life

00:30:19.259 --> 00:30:19.539
 God

00:30:19.539 --> 00:30:19.859
 hasn't

00:30:19.859 --> 00:30:20.279
 changed

00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:20.920
 God's

00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:21.099
 still

00:30:21.099 --> 00:30:21.299
 the

00:30:21.299 --> 00:30:21.579
 same

00:30:21.579 --> 00:30:21.879
 he's

00:30:21.879 --> 00:30:22.139
 still

00:30:22.139 --> 00:30:22.720
 the

00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:22.940
 one

00:30:22.940 --> 00:30:23.099
 that

00:30:23.099 --> 00:30:23.240
 is

00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:23.579
 over

00:30:23.579 --> 00:30:23.900
 all

00:30:23.900 --> 00:30:24.500
 things

00:30:24.500 --> 00:30:24.940
 in

00:30:24.940 --> 00:30:25.139
 all

00:30:25.139 --> 00:30:25.319
 the

00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:25.559
 things

00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:25.700
 when

00:30:25.700 --> 00:30:26.200
 everything

00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:26.420
 of

00:30:26.420 --> 00:30:26.799
 Job's

00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:27.160
 life

00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:27.359
 was

00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:27.639
 stripped

00:30:27.639 --> 00:30:27.639


00:30:27.639 --> 00:30:28.000
 away

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:28.200
 he

00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:28.759
 chose

00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:28.759


00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:36.599
 response

00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:37.960
 was

00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:38.700
 commendable

00:30:38.700 --> 00:30:40.079
 but you

00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:40.160
 know

00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:40.339
 what I

00:30:40.339 --> 00:30:40.639
 want you

00:30:40.639 --> 00:30:40.700
 to

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:41.180
 understand

00:30:41.180 --> 00:30:41.559
 you can

00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:41.759
 have

00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:42.099
 faith

00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:42.299
 in

00:30:42.299 --> 00:30:42.619
 God

00:30:42.619 --> 00:30:42.799
 and

00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:43.019
 still

00:30:43.019 --> 00:30:43.220
 have

00:30:43.220 --> 00:30:43.680
 questions

00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:43.940
 roll

00:30:43.940 --> 00:30:44.180
 around

00:30:44.180 --> 00:30:44.319
 in

00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:44.420
 your

00:30:44.420 --> 00:30:44.660
 head

00:30:44.660 --> 00:30:45.180
 what we're

00:30:45.180 --> 00:30:45.480
 talking

00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:45.680
 about

00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:45.839
 here

00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:45.980
 is

00:36:04.120 --> 00:36:04.580
 to somebody

00:36:04.580 --> 00:36:05.000
 and explained

00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:05.400
 something

00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:06.160
 and they

00:36:06.160 --> 00:36:06.500
 look at

00:36:06.500 --> 00:36:06.860
 you like

00:36:06.860 --> 00:36:07.260
 I don't

00:36:07.260 --> 00:36:07.600
 have a clue

00:36:07.600 --> 00:36:07.860
 what you

00:36:07.860 --> 00:36:08.280
 just said

00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:08.720
 you know

00:36:08.720 --> 00:36:09.019
 basically

00:36:09.019 --> 00:36:09.320
 that's

00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:09.760
 what God

00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:10.380
 is describing

00:36:10.380 --> 00:36:10.860
 to Job

00:36:10.860 --> 00:36:11.180
 he says

00:36:11.180 --> 00:36:11.460
 Job

00:36:11.460 --> 00:36:11.740
 if I

00:36:11.740 --> 00:36:11.920
 took

00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:12.180
 time

00:36:12.180 --> 00:36:12.300
 to

00:36:12.300 --> 00:36:12.680
 explain

00:36:12.680 --> 00:36:12.880
 this

00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:13.039
 to

00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:13.180
 you

00:36:13.180 --> 00:36:13.260
 you

00:36:13.260 --> 00:36:13.720
 wouldn't

00:36:13.720 --> 00:36:14.000
 grab

00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:14.440
 it

00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:15.500
 it

00:36:15.500 --> 00:36:15.660
 go

00:36:15.660 --> 00:36:15.940
 right

00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:16.080
 over

00:36:16.080 --> 00:36:16.200
 the

00:36:16.200 --> 00:36:16.400
 top

00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:16.480
 of

00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:16.559
 your

00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:16.880
 head

00:36:24.820 --> 00:36:25.260
 revealed

00:36:25.260 --> 00:36:25.980
 himself

00:36:25.980 --> 00:36:27.320
 you know

00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:27.700
 we want

00:36:27.700 --> 00:36:28.300
 our answers

00:36:28.300 --> 00:36:28.820
 tied up

00:36:28.820 --> 00:36:29.160
 in neat

00:36:29.160 --> 00:36:29.700
 packages

00:36:29.700 --> 00:36:30.340
 but there's

00:36:30.340 --> 00:36:31.620
 nothing

00:36:31.620 --> 00:36:32.300
 neat about

00:36:32.300 --> 00:36:32.780
 pain

00:36:32.780 --> 00:36:33.420
 and suffering

00:36:33.420 --> 00:36:33.720
 of the

00:36:33.720 --> 00:36:33.960
 world

00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:34.360
 and there's

00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:34.840
 no way

00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:35.200
 we can

00:36:35.200 --> 00:36:35.700
 comprehend

00:36:35.700 --> 00:36:36.260
 what God

00:36:36.260 --> 00:36:36.700
 knows

00:36:36.700 --> 00:36:39.019
 if we

00:36:39.019 --> 00:36:39.340
 demand

00:36:39.340 --> 00:36:39.900
 answers

00:36:39.900 --> 00:36:40.260
 to the

00:36:40.260 --> 00:36:40.519
 why

00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:40.960
 question

00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:41.700
 we assume

00:36:41.700 --> 00:36:42.280
 that we

00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:42.960
 and God

00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:43.420
 possess

00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:43.820
 equal

00:36:43.820 --> 00:36:44.500
 understanding

00:36:44.500 --> 00:36:45.140
 that we

00:36:45.140 --> 00:36:45.320
 can

00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:45.940
 understand

00:36:45.940 --> 00:36:46.180
 or

00:36:46.180 --> 00:36:46.700
 comprehend

00:36:46.700 --> 00:36:47.220
 why

00:36:47.220 --> 00:36:47.600
 something

00:36:47.600 --> 00:36:48.140
 happens

00:36:48.140 --> 00:36:48.600
 you know

00:36:48.600 --> 00:36:49.000
 often

00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:49.320
 in the

00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:49.660
 case

00:36:49.660 --> 00:36:50.140
 as in

00:36:50.140 --> 00:36:50.260
 the

00:36:50.260 --> 00:36:50.539
 case

00:36:50.539 --> 00:36:50.720
 of

00:36:50.720 --> 00:36:51.019
 Job

00:36:51.019 --> 00:36:51.260
 you know

00:36:51.260 --> 00:36:51.400
 what

00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:51.720
 we never

00:36:51.720 --> 00:36:52.180
 receive

00:36:52.180 --> 00:36:52.740
 the exact

00:36:52.740 --> 00:36:53.220
 reason

00:36:53.220 --> 00:36:53.539
 why

00:36:53.539 --> 00:36:53.780
 we're

00:36:53.780 --> 00:36:53.780


00:36:53.780 --> 00:36:54.180
 suffering

00:36:54.179 --> 00:36:55.440
 most

00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:55.559
 of

00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:55.679
 the

00:36:55.679 --> 00:36:56.119
 appropriate

00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:56.819
 response

00:36:56.819 --> 00:36:57.139
 is to

00:36:57.139 --> 00:36:57.460
 simply

00:36:57.460 --> 00:36:58.019
 trust

00:36:58.019 --> 00:36:58.599
 God

00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:00.299
 a truth

00:37:00.299 --> 00:37:00.579
 that we

00:37:00.579 --> 00:37:01.019
 can hold

00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:01.559
 on to

00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:01.819
 during

00:37:01.819 --> 00:37:02.079
 these

00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:02.579
 times

00:37:02.579 --> 00:37:03.559
 in the

00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:03.879
 statement

00:37:03.879 --> 00:37:04.299
 I can

00:37:04.299 --> 00:37:04.679
 trust

00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:04.919
 the

00:37:04.919 --> 00:37:05.299
 God

00:37:05.299 --> 00:37:05.859
 I know

00:37:05.859 --> 00:37:06.059
 with

00:37:06.059 --> 00:37:06.219
 the

00:37:06.219 --> 00:37:06.679
 details

00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:06.899
 I

00:37:06.899 --> 00:37:07.139
 don't

00:37:07.139 --> 00:37:07.759
 understand

00:37:07.759 --> 00:37:09.539
 God

00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.819
 says

00:37:09.819 --> 00:37:10.219
 you can

00:37:10.219 --> 00:37:10.519
 know

00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:10.879
 me

00:37:10.879 --> 00:37:11.259
 and he

00:37:11.259 --> 00:37:11.460
 says

00:37:11.460 --> 00:37:11.940
 I'll

00:37:11.940 --> 00:37:12.099
 need

00:37:12.099 --> 00:37:12.239
 to

00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:12.619
 trust

00:37:12.619 --> 00:37:13.000
 you

00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:13.319
 you

00:37:13.319 --> 00:37:13.419
 know

00:37:13.419 --> 00:37:13.639
 let's

00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:13.799
 put

00:37:13.799 --> 00:37:13.980
 this

00:37:13.980 --> 00:37:14.219
 in a

00:37:14.219 --> 00:37:14.579
 practical

00:37:14.579 --> 00:37:14.940
 application

00:37:14.940 --> 00:37:15.139
 how

00:37:15.139 --> 00:37:15.319
 many

00:37:15.319 --> 00:37:15.639
 times

00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:15.779
 when

00:37:15.779 --> 00:37:15.960
 you're

00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:16.239
 raising

00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:16.480
 your

00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:16.799
 children

00:37:16.799 --> 00:37:17.000
 do

00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:17.179
 your

00:37:17.179 --> 00:37:17.419
 kids

00:37:17.419 --> 00:37:17.599
 just

00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:17.779
 have

00:37:17.779 --> 00:37:17.899
 to

00:37:17.899 --> 00:37:18.179
 trust

00:37:18.179 --> 00:37:18.379
 you

00:37:18.379 --> 00:37:18.399
!

00:37:18.699 --> 00:37:19.099
 why

00:37:22.619 --> 00:37:22.740
 know

00:37:22.740 --> 00:37:22.860

00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:25.059
 can

00:37:25.059 --> 00:37:25.579
 give

 choices

00:37:28.940 --> 00:37:29.380
 of doing
