Grief & Trust | Job series part 6

Send us Fan MailJob Series The book of job is broken down into 4 parts Prologue - Here we are introduced to the main character Job and then we’re transported to a divine council meeting where God is with his sons. The basis of this part of the book is key to understanding much of what is to come. (Chapters 1-2)Discourse - Job and his friends get into it, they offer their opinions on why Job is in this condition, and Job reiterates his innocence and questions God. (Chapters 3-37)The Response - After the 36th time and demanding that God answers him, God responds, sets examples and questions Jobs ability to comprehend the depth and capacity to manage creation. (Chapters 38-41)Epilogue - Job humbled by the awesomeness of God apologises, God restores him, and gives him the choice to restore his friends. Job receives more than what he lost, trust and relationship wins over the uncertainty of doubt and crisis. What do we know - It’s set in the land of Uz which is away from Israel. All characters are non-Israelite, wealth is measured in livestock. The fact he had camels, and the tribal names of some of his friends suggest that regionally we’re looking at a man of great status and position within and among the Arabian tribes.Job 7What do we know - It’s set in the land of Uz which is away from Israel.

He beseeches God as to what his charge is (Psalm 34), he asks God why have you made me your target, when in fact God had made Job his testament. The enemy would have Job thinking that the very thing he covered his children is the very thing God was exposing him for, but in righteous tribulation God only exposes that which he has already covered.Support the showPresenter:  ⁨@SheanWilliamsWorld⁩  Socials:TikTok: @rhema.biblestudieInstagram: rhemabiblestudiesFacebook: rhemabiblestudiesThreads: rhemabiblestudiesBrought to you by Willow Media Housewww.willowmediahouse.com
