WONDERFUL WORDS OF LIFE

“Job” 

Pastor Duane Cross |  07.04.2010                  


“I know my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth.  And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.”                        Job 19:25-26 (NIV)

Tell God how you feel. 

“Job stood up, tore his robe in grief, and shaved his head.  Then he fell to the ground and worshiped.”                                                                              Job 1:20 (GW)

“I can’t be quiet.  I’m angry and I’m bitter and I have to speak.”          Job 7:11 (TEV)

Refuse to become bitter.

“I came naked from my mother’s womb and I shall have nothing when I die.  The Lord gave me everything I had, and they were his to take away.  Blessed be the name of the Lord! In all of this Job did not sin by blaming God.” Job 1:21-22( LB)

What can I praise God for when I’m in pain?

            • God will never stop loving me. Job 10:12

         •  God has  a plan for my life.  Job 23:14

         •  God cares  about every detail of my life.  Job 23:10, 31:4

         •  God is in control of things I don’t understand.  Job 34:13

         •  God will  protect me.  Job 5:11                                   

“Even though the fig trees have no fruit and no grapes grown on the vines, even though the olive crop  fails and the fields produce no grain, even though the sheep all die and the cattle stalls are empty.  I’ll still be joyful and glad, because the Lord God is my Savior.”   Hab. 3:17-18 (TEV)

Unite with others

“Don’t let your anger and the pain you endured make you sneer at God.  Reputation and riches cannot protect you from distress, nor can you find safety in the dark world below.  Don’t turn to evil as a way of escape.  God’s power is unlimited...Others have praised God for what He has done, so join with them.”   Job 36: 18-24 (CEV)

Surrender my future to God

“Job’s wife said to him, ‘Are you still trying to maintain your integrity?  Curse God and die.’ But Job replied, ‘You talk like a godless woman.  Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?’ So in all this is, Job said nothing wrong.”  Job 2:9-10 (NLT)

“Though He slay me, yet I will trust Him.”     Job 13:15 (KJV)

Trust

“By trusting Me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace.  In this world you will continue to experience difficulties.  But take heart!  I’ve conquered the world.”                                 John 16:33 (Message)
