- Pray – Read Job 13:11-19 “Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance, for no godless man would dare come before him!” – Observe Job offers another proof of his righteousness: he WANTS God to speak to him. A man with secret sin would not dare go to God. How about me? Do I [...]

- Pray – Read Job 13:1-10 “He would surely rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality.” Job 13:10 – Observe By insisting that Job has some secret sin, his friends are sitting in judgment between God and Job and showing partiality toward God. This is unjust, and Job points out that a just God would [...]

- Pray – Read Job 12:13-25 “To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.” – Observe Job notes that God is both the source and controller of both wisdom and power. The wise and the powerful can become confused and weak in an instant. God gives wisdom and power, and God takes [...]

- Pray – Read Job 12:1-12 “I have become a laughingstock to my friends, though I called upon God and he answered — a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless!” – Observe When did Job call upon God and get an answer? This must be a reference to something earlier in Job’s life. This is [...]

- Pray – Read Job 11:10-20 “If you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,” Job 11:14 – Observe Zophar refers to sin in Job’s life, but there was none. God Himself had declared that. Zophar had not heard God’s declaration, and was clearly [...]

- Pray – Read Job 11:1-9 “Will your idle talk reduce men to silence? Will no one rebuke you when you mock?” Job 11:3 – Observe Apparently, there was a lengthy silence after Job’s speech in chapter 10. Then Zophar opens his mouth and sticks his foot in it by insulting Job. What was Zophar [...]

Feeling like nothing is going your way? Feeling like life is giving you a raw deal? Feeling like you’re not getting treated the way you deserve? Is this causing anxiety, bitterness, frustration? I have a solution, but you probably won’t like it. Start serving others. “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but [...]

- Pray – Read Job 10:13-22 “If I sinned, you would be watching me and would not let my sin go unpunished” Job 10:14 – Observe Job truly believed this to be true. As a result, he was “a man who fears God and shuns evil.” God held him up to Satan as an example [...]

- Pray – Read Job 10:1-12 “I loathe my very life; therefore I will give free rein to my complaint and speak out in the bitterness of my soul.” Job 10:1 – Observe Job believed that complaining against the God who held your life in his hand was suicidal. Having written it that way, I [...]

- Pray – Read Job 9:21-35 “When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its judges. If it is not he, then who is it?” Job 9:24 – Observe I have a brother who insists that Job’s troubles came from Satan, and not from God. And yet, God Himself claims to [...]
