Life Lesson (Job 6:4)

We should learn how to be a comfort and how not to be a comfort in the book of Job. We are learning how not to be 'Job's Comforters'.

Life Lesson (Job 6:4)

We are learning to love God and love people.

Life Lesson (Job 6:6)

Job's friends, also his accusers, wrongly think Job is suffering because of some hidden sin. The Bible, and God, clearly point out Job is a good and righteous man and is not being punished for wrong doing.

Life Lesson (Job 6:6)

We wrongly think people are suffering for their own sins.

Life Lesson (Job 6:6)

Job needed compassion and care not lessons on confession and repentance.

Life Lesson (Job 6:6)

Satan was aware of Job BEFORE God mentioned him.

Life Lesson (Job 6:6)

When we twist the passage (and we do), we twist the personality and characters of God and the enemy of our souls, Satan.

Life Lesson (Job 6:14)

When we accuse others, we ally ourselves with Satan and Judas.

Life Lesson (Job 6:30)

Part of Job's victory is he kept believing God loved Him.

Life Lesson (Job 6:30)

Job's true wealth never left him.

4 "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!  5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'  38 This is the first and great commandment.  39 And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'  40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

29 Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.  30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment.  31 And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

7 After the Lord had finished speaking to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: "I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken accurately about me, as my servant Job has. 8 So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer on your behalf. I will not treat you as you deserve, for you have not spoken accurately about me, as my servant Job has." 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did as the Lord commanded them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.

When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!

At least I can take comfort in this:
Despite the pain,
I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

Then would I still have consolation — yes, I would leap [for joy] amid unsparing pain [though I shrink from it] — that I have not concealed or denied the words of the Holy One!

No, I am utterly helpless,
without any chance of success.

"One should be kind to a fainting friend,
but you accuse me without any fear of the Almighty.

Set a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand.

1 O God, whom I praise,
don't stand silent and aloof
2 while the wicked slander me
and tell lies about me.
3 They surround me with hateful words
and fight against me for no reason.
4 I love them, but they try to destroy me with accusations
even as I am praying for them!
5 They repay evil for good,
and hatred for my love.
6 They say, "Get an evil person to turn against him.
Send an accuser to bring him to trial.

Ps 109:8
8 Let his days be few,
And let another take his office.
NKJV

Who is Psalm 109 talking about?

15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, 16 "Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; 17 for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry."
18 (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. 19 And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 "For it is written in the Book of Psalms:
'Let his dwelling place be desolate,
And let no one live in it';
and,
'Let another take his office.'
21 "Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection."
23 And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, "You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen 25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." 26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

14 "One should be kind to a fainting friend,
but you accuse me without any fear of the Almighty.
15 My brothers, you have proved as unreliable as a seasonal brook
that overflows its banks in the spring
16 when it is swollen with ice and melting snow.
17 But when the hot weather arrives, the water disappears.
The brook vanishes in the heat.
18 The caravans turn aside to be refreshed,
but there is nothing to drink, so they die.
19 The caravans from Tema search for this water;
the travelers from Sheba hope to find it.
20 They count on it but are disappointed.
When they arrive, their hopes are dashed.
21 You, too, have given no help.
You have seen my calamity, and you are afraid.

Stop assuming my guilt,
for I have done no wrong.
