Preached Sunday, August 9, 2020Scripture: Job Chapters 12-14Sermon Series: The Book of Job: Relating to God While Suffering in LifeSeries Launch Date: 06/14/20 Job fought fire with fire. He pointed out that his friends were not the only wise men in the world, for he (Job) understood and valued the system of a moralistic universe just as much they did. However, he makes clear that his friends were no wiser than the animals, who can see that Job’s sufferings are acts of God. In contrast to the inept human wisdom, God’s wisdom is powerful, just, and scary. The friends were useless physicians, and because of that, Job wanted a hearing with God. He warned his friends not to lie for God, for God will not appreciate their partiality for Him. Job is confident that he could win his case, even if his only hope is in a resurrected next life. He prayed that God would stop the heavy hand, and let him speak. He felt mortality coming near, and he understood that the lifelessness waiting in Sheol would be no good for him or God. Job felt the sadness of insignificance more than he felt his physical pain.
