Job 29:12-15 (KJV) 12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. 13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy. 14 I put on righteousness, […]

Often times do we reminisce about the past because of hardships in our life. However, as we pray, God will comfort and send help.
Job 28:28 (KJV) 28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Begin to fear God and you will obtain wisdom. Depart from your sins and come unto Jesus, then understanding will come from above.
The enemy can take away our possessions, but still, he cannot take away our faith in Christ. Our joy in the Lord is what matters.
Job 26:6 (KJV) 6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
Most people go to hell when they die. This is a place of torment and far worse than anything we could ever image. The pain is never ending.
Job 25:4-6 (KJV) 4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? 5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. 6 How much less man, that is […]
It is important that we are made clean before God. Repentance is necessary for every believer who desires to be forgiven for their sins.
Job 24:13-15 (KJV) 13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. 14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. 15 The eye also of […]
The characteristics of the wicked are defined in detail. The same can be said for the place where they will go in death.
Job 23:1-3 (KJV) 1 Then Job answered and said, 2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. 3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
When we feel God is distant, do more than pray and read the Bible daily, but also go out of your comfort zone to bless others.
Job 22:29,30 (KJV) 29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. 30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
All Eliphaz could was call Job to repentance and come to God, while not seeing that maybe Job was innocent in God’s sight.
Job 21:7-17 (KJV) 7 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power? 8 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. 9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. 10 Their bull […]
We are either doing God’s will or our own. Many people who profess to believe in Jesus do their own things and are not saved.
Job could not find peace from his friend Zophar, but only more accusations about him being wicked and a hypocrite.
Job 19:23-27 (KJV) 23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! 24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! 25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the […]
In persecution, Job sought the Lord. He proclaimed that His Redeemer lived and that He will soon see God in person.
Bildad was being self-righteous around Job, who was suffering. However, we are to be people who show kindness unto others, not being judgmental.
Job 17:9 (KJV) 9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
Job only wanted comfort while in his trials, but it was nowhere to be found. Therefore, his hope was diminishing.
Job 16:19-22 (KJV) 19 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high. 20 My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God. 21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour! 22 […]
Listen to others, and be slow to speak. Many people just need comfort, not criticism. Be considerate of people’s needs.
Job 15:20,21 (KJV) 20 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor. 21 A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
Why accuse people of what you do not know? Does this help them in any way? Is this what God asks His followers to do?
Job 14:1-5 (KJV) 1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. 3 And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, […]
In death, our bodies will not rise until the day of our resurrection, while our spirits will wait for the judgement seat of Christ.
Job 13:15-18 (KJV) 15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. 16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him. 17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears. 18 […]
There was a great need for Job to explain to his friends his trust in God, while telling them how badly they have made him feel.
