A question about Job.

[brinny]

I don't even compare myself with those men, they are better than I am, but their example is edifying and I put hope in the Lord that its he who edifies me with their example.

Actually i was referring to Jeremiah, David, and Job....their lamenting, and grief and suffering is similar, although Job's may have been even more excruciating in many ways....

 

[brinny]

I have joy too, at times. The other day I was experiencing a joy that I couldn't really explain. It was something I have been searching for for a long time. I don't know what I'm doing, I just try to follow best I can. I believe that perseverance is a key, and also that sowing to the spirit is a key as well. Spiritual sowing (in my understanding anyway)includes humility and love. IF my suffering brings those things into my spirit, and allows me to sow those things, then it must be a blessing from God. Sorrow may not be easy, but if it helps me to be humble, and if humility helps me to love, and if love reaps joy. Then I am blessed. I must continually persevere though, always ready to persevere. IN perseverance I use Davids example when he says "wait on the Lord and he will strengthen you". That's perseverance in my mind anyway.

Sorry if I got off track, I guess all this gets me thinking. Just wanted to share

If you don't mind me asking, what is happening to cause you suffering and grief?

And i agree about David

I understand. I guess I just wanted to share my opinion that a person doesn't need to be a great holy man in order to follow a great holy mans example. Sorry, it was just a thought I wanted share, it had no reflection on what you said. Sorry about my confusion.

It's ok, no harm done.

Keep sharing.

That's a complicated question. I suppose I must blaim myself for part of it. Bad choices in life.

However, I cant explain why I feel the way I do, I only know that I believe the Lord leads me in it. I'm walking by faith instead of sight. I cant really say why I feel the way I do, I just know it has a good side effect in that it humbles me.

After God restores Job, what happens to his wife and his three friends?

Only God knows what happened to them. I would assume the friends repented after being rebuked, but the wife is never mentioned.

Yes, it seems she's never mentioned again.

Maybe she went into business and IS HERE someplace ??

I was just thinking about things. Gods chastening, what a blessed, blessed thing!


1 John 3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.


Hebrews 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Amen, and what is GLORIOUS, is that there may be tears and heartache for a season, yet, as it is written, that tears may endure for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning.

Yes indeed. Not only that, but this as well. Amen!

Peaceable fruit.


Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:


James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

I know it sounds like I'm bragging but I'm not. I have more to be ashamed of than I could ever hope to boast in, that's a fact. I just wanted to praise the Lord for leading me in the right way. I do feel like he's leading me. Its a good feeling, especially after you struggle with so much doubt.

Where is that video?

Praising the Lord is not bragging.

It blesses God's heart when we praise Him and celebrate Him.
