Trust Beyond Doubt | Job Series part 2

Send us Fan MailThe 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. Trust Beyond Doubt Job 2:1-13 2:1-2 - Heavenly meeting, Lucifer has access and God asks him where he’s been. The fact he’s roaming means he is without purpose and meaning and has found himself wondering. He is LOST!!2:3-4 - (Samuel 13:14) God seeks those he can trust and rely upon based on their heart matter. “Have you considered my servant”. (Matthew 11:11) Jesus claims that “there is none greater than John Baptist” 2:4-7 - we see the attack of the jobs body seeded. It becomes apart of the accusation that satan makes to God. He was convinced of the fallacy of man, and that his love for god was dependent on things being environmentally and physically ok. 2:7-10 Now we see the completion of the tripartite attack on Jobs person. It’s within these verses that Jobs wife questions why he still trusts God, why he is maintaining his integrity. Her interaction with him sees the battle taken to the very essence of his being. It is at this moment that Jobs spirit is put under the microscope, to curse God and die would justify his position in this life, but condemn him in the next. The very fact his situation doesn’t allow him to think with that level of objectivity allows us to see him respond subjectively, and it shows us what’s really in his spirit, he responds with such a level of objectivity and faith, it renders his wife speechless. 2:10-13 Jobs friends come to see him after hearing about his calamity. It’s interesting to note the prior conversation that happens between them before they go and meet Job. They count believe what they saw, it’s interesting to note here that connection and community plays a huge part in much of this trial. Even though they find themselves on the wrong end of the argument later on in the book, there reactions to him allow us to understand just how bad Jobs condition was. Support the showPresenter:  ⁨@SheanWilliamsWorld⁩  Socials:TikTok: @rhema.biblestudieInstagram: rhemabiblestudiesFacebook: rhemabiblestudiesThreads: rhemabiblestudiesBrought to you by Willow Media Housewww.willowmediahouse.com
