The Miracles Of Jesus

Job 34-35 1. Sorrow should soften as you spend time wisely. -What Job says leaves a bad taste in the mouth (2-3) -What we hear must be evaluated (4). -Job’s worst words, which he stood by, are the subject of discussion (5-6) Job has stood by these words (7-8). Job’s words create bad proverbs (9). 2. Firm up the beliefs you live by. God is fair: He does not show partiality. God is holy: He can do no wickedness. God is powerful: He has no competition. God is Right: -He has the prerogatives of rule. -He represents natural law. -He destroys the false pretensions of who is “right” among men. -God has direct knowledge of all evil; time is not able to delay his justice (21-28). -God’s quiet does not allow you to condemn him (29-30). -God has no teacher or counselor (31-33). 3. Sorrow can become rebellion. -Words against God must not be “multiplied” (34-37). -Is it right for you to hold against God the “theological conclusions” of your hardest experiences? (Ch. 35). (Chs. 34-35) Theme: Close your mouth by filling it with good things. (Chs. 36-37) Theme: Consider God’s attributes and works. Application: -As days pass, lament always changes into teaching. -Though the timeframe varies based on the nature of our sorrows and characteristics, godly sorrow always moves into peace, contentment. -Talk more about God than you do about yourself.
