Hold Onto Hope – Job 13:15-16
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
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
How can a person be justified before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

Think about it, to be the good Creator … Continue reading Purely Justified – Job 25:4
It’s Your Own Fault – Job 12:5
People who are at ease mock those in trouble. They give a push to people who are stumbling.

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
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.

Strong Opinions – Job 32:20
“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
“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
He batters me with a whirlwind and multiplies my wounds without cause. God never operates without a cause for He is the Ultimate Cause.

False Counsel – Job 5:8
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.

Equality – Job 42:15
In all the land no women were found so fair as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

Simple Formulas – Job 34:11
“For He pays a man according to his work, And makes him find it according to his way.

Circumstantial Assumptions – Job 18:21
“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
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
