5 Lessons from the Book of Job - Tony Evans

This book is critical to Scripture because it deals with one of the hardest realities of life: God often seems silent when we are doing our best to please him and yet experience suffering. The question of why comes up again and again in life, even as it did for Job, one of the godliest people in the Bible who had no explanation for why he was suffering so terribly.

In Job, God is engaged in a dialogue with the devil over Job and the pain God allows to come into Job’s life. Ultimately, the book reveals God’s kingdom authority over life circumstances because not even the devil can do his dirty work without divine permission. As the book unfolds, God reveals things about himself that overwhelm Job. By the end, Job has
to repent and bow before God’s wisdom—a wisdom that he cannot understand, but that he knows is best because he trusts God.

One of the key truths to grasp from the book of Job is that we must trust God even when we cannot understand him, even when he is thoroughly confusing to us. The central statement in the book is one of Job’s closing
comments to God: “I had heard reports about you, but now my eyes have seen you” (42:5).

This is so true the Israelites believe God they couldn't trust God but we know we can trust God when I'm tempted to blame I have to throw it out pull-down the stronghold and praise the Lord for his faithfulness and goodness

Just went through watching my wife birth our still born son last week. The only thing keeping me going is my faith that Gods plan is so much greater than ours. Thank God for sacrificing his only son for us here on earth. Through the seasons of life, one thing always remains the same, that is God and our savior Jesus Christ. I love Yeshua and all of my brothers and sisters. ❤️

Everyone in The Body of Christ needs to fast and ask God for his Armor and also for THE GIFTS OF HEALINGS, IRON IS MIXING WITH CLAY (TRANS-HUMANISM/Daniel 2:43)🙏🙏🙏

The Lord would have me read the Book of Job over and over again. Now I know why He wanted me to apply the reading of it to what He is taking me through now! Hard, very hard testing of my faith. I am a woman, and not a man, but if God have me going through, I know I can bear it with Him on my side and inside of me! 🙄😰☦🛐
