Hold Onto Hope – Job 13:15-16

Posted on February 18, 2023February 18, 2023 by Wen

Though he slay me, I will hope in him;yet I will argue my ways to his face.This will be my salvation,that the godless shall not come before him. Let’s face it, there are simply a lot of happenings in the course of this life that even believers simply do not and cannot understand. They seem … Continue reading Hold Onto Hope – Job 13:15-16 →

The Purposes of God – Job 9.17

Posted on February 16, 2023 by Wen

Reading this article now several years after writing it, I wonder how I thought I could speak so confidently of God’s clear purpose in suffering. The favor and mercy of Father God is more tangible and clear than ever to me, His specific will; however, not so much. His perspective comes from a vantage point … Continue reading The Purposes of God – Job 9.17 →

Purely Justified – Job 25:4

Posted on January 21, 2022January 21, 2022 by Wen

How can a person be justified before God? How can one born of woman be pure? This is truly the fundamental question of all who seek a perfect God of justice and love - as if there could be any other type of omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent God. Think about it, to be the good Creator … Continue reading Purely Justified – Job 25:4 →

It’s Your Own Fault – Job 12:5

Posted on January 17, 2022February 11, 2023 by Wen

People who are at ease mock those in trouble. They give a push to people who are stumbling. O how careful the person who has endured no trouble or persecution must be when looking upon those whom God has blessed with trials and suffering. Material blessings and smooth sailing often deceive their recipients into believing … Continue reading It’s Your Own Fault – Job 12:5 →

Fearing the Future – Job 3:25

Posted on January 14, 2022 by Wen

What I always feared has happened to me. What I dreaded has come true. NLT It is odd to hear this from a man of faith like Job. He has trusted God and feared Him. He has walked faithfully before Him. He has born suffering and loss and refused to sin by blaming God. He … Continue reading Fearing the Future – Job 3:25 →

Strong Opinions – Job 32:20

Posted on March 19, 2020 by Wen

“Let me speak that I may get relief; Let me open my lips and answer.” It seems the young man, Elihu, is more concerned with his own feelings than the feelings of his distressed friend Job. His opinion is burning within him. He is dying to share it. Sadly enough, I can relate. Years ago, … Continue reading Strong Opinions – Job 32:20 →

Self Proclaimed Experts -Job 36:4

Posted on March 15, 2020 by Wen

“For truly my words are not false; One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.” Job 36:17 “But you were full of judgment on the wicked; Judgment and justice take hold of you.” The only problem with what 'all-knowing' Elihu is saying is that it simply is not true as it regards Job. Job … Continue reading Self Proclaimed Experts -Job 36:4 →

The Purposes of God – Job 9:17

Posted on May 11, 2019 by Wen

He batters me with a whirlwind and multiplies my wounds without cause. God never operates without a cause for He is the Ultimate Cause. Job's comment is understandable given what he is enduring; however, God has a purpose for all of it - that He might display to the enemy Job's undying faithfulness and bring … Continue reading The Purposes of God – Job 9:17 →

False Counsel – Job 5:8

Posted on May 7, 2019January 15, 2022 by Wen

However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to him. This is exactly what Job has always done and even in these dire circumstances continues to do. He knows God is his only hope. He has always kept God first and will not turn his face from God … Continue reading False Counsel – Job 5:8 →

Equality – Job 42:15

Posted on March 14, 2018January 25, 2022 by Wen

In all the land no women were found so fair as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers. In one of the oldest books in the Bible we see God's servant treating his daughters as equals. This righteous man of God who was blessed in abundance because of his faithfulness includes … Continue reading Equality – Job 42:15 →

Simple Formulas – Job 34:11

Posted on March 6, 2018January 23, 2022 by Wen

“For He pays a man according to his work, And makes him find it according to his way. This is a fundamentally biblical principle; however, Job's case proves that sometimes God allows evil to befall His exceptionally faithful children in order to bring glory to Himself and so that He might later bless, in even … Continue reading Simple Formulas – Job 34:11 →

Circumstantial Assumptions – Job 18:21

Posted on February 19, 2018January 19, 2022 by Wen

“Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, And this is the place of him who does not know God.” Job 1:8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil.” … Continue reading Circumstantial Assumptions – Job 18:21 →

Secret Words in the Night – Job 4:12

Posted on February 6, 2018January 15, 2022 by Wen

A word was brought to me in secret; my ears caught a whisper of it. None of this passage proves that the word Eliphaz received was actually a word from God. In fact, we know Job and this does not describe him. He is not an unrepentant sinner. God is pleased with him. Just because … Continue reading Secret Words in the Night – Job 4:12 →
