The Story of an Righteous Man (cont.)

Job's Friends are no help!

Chapter 6

Job, is tough. He begins to say, "Lord show me my fault so that I can repent." Picture God remaining quiet. Job prays, "Teach me, and I will be silent show me how I have erred. How painful are honest words." 

No one knows his fault. His friends don't think much of him because of his circumstances. Job argues his case before God. His argument reveals his deep desire to please God, to make God happy. He is willing to say he is wrong even though he doesn't know what he has done. I understand why God loved Job so much what awesome character under intense circumstances. 

Chapter 8

Bildad believes that God rewards the good only. 

• Bildad ask Job if his sons have sinned against the lord. 
• If you are upright then God will come to your rescue.
• Consider the generations before you, maybe your fore fathers sinned.
• Those that forget God paths are turned into hell.
• have you had more faith in your house instead of God

Job's view on life change as he endures his circumstances. 

• man is force to labor on earth
• man spends his life like a hired man
• man acts like a slave in need of shade
• his life is just a breath
• man skin hardens and ruins. 

Job's friends turn out to be wrong! 

God moves into the picture! 

God restores Job! 

God blesses him with twice as much as he had before! 

Job's deeper relationship with God is birthed!
