Good day dear friends.
Here is our study guide for today:
Friday: Job 10, 11, 12We often hear the phrase “the patience of Job,” though it is is not a biblical phrase. Describe characteristics of Job, negative and positive, you find in Job 10 and 12.
The lessons learned from Job about God is that God is big enough to take our anger and gripes. The lessons learned from Job is that we can try to make sense of suffering and pain and not really come up with much. The greater lesson is that we don't have to. Try as we might, God still holds us even when it seems we're free falling towards our end. What we've read here are the thoughts of Job brought into the open. "Did I say that out loud?" has become a comedy routine in movies and television, but it's true. Some things are best left inside; though Job brings them out.
The positive thing about Job is that he never stopped talking to God. He continued to be a man of prayer even in the midst of his suffering. And in his prayers, though some were negative, he holds God in God's perfect place: In control of all things. What troubles Job is what troubles us, can we make sense of what happens in life and should we hold God accountable always for the bad that may come our way?
PRAYER: Loving Father, let me this day seek You in all that comes my way. Let me walk towards You in faith and understanding. Help me to overcome the challenges in my life. I praise You and thank You for your love and the blessings that are mine because of You. I pray these things in Jesus' Name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
