Job Week 13: Faith In God Almighty

God never gave Job the reason for his suffering.  Instead, he wanted Job to trust Him, to maintain his faith despite his circumstances.  And Job complied. The message of Job is that, no matter the circumstances, we can trust God fully.  When all is lost and there is no one to turn to, we can always trust that God is there.  He can be our ever present hope because He created all things, He knows all things, and His power is greater than anything we could ever imagine.

 

Key Verses:

 

Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return there.  The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away.  Blessed be the name of the Lord.  Job 1:21

 

Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?  Job 2:10

 

Though He slay me, I will hope in Him.  Job 13:15

 

But it is still my consolation, and I rejoice in unsparing pain, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.  Job 6:10

 

 

Read Job 41 and 42

Finalize your list of all you have learned about God’s awesome power.

What did God tell Job’s friends they needed to do?  What would Job do?  What would the Lord do?

That's it for our study of Job!  We hope you've enjoyed it and have grown in your faith...thought you may not be in a season of difficulty right now, because we live in a fallen world it is bound to come. 

We will be picking back up April 11th with a three month study on Philippians and Colossians....
