Looking for Job

Looking for Job

Job 7:9-11

- Job is waiting for death!

- he has no hope!

- He has nothing to lose!

- The only thing left for him is to speak and defend himself!

- Job is equal to himself, he will fight till the end!

- He wants to wash his honor!
 
Looking for Job

Job 7:12-15

- The devil never gives up!

- He has sent the three individuals!

- He sends visions to one of the individuals against Job to terrify him at night and it works!

- The devil wants Job to commit suicide!

- He pushes him to his limits!
 
Looking for Job

Job 7:16

- Job has enough, he doesn’t want more!

- He wants the three individuals to leave him alone but they keep working against him!

- The devil keeps using them to strike him till the end!
 
Looking for Job

Job 7:17-20

- That’s the first time that Job speaks about God!

- He knows that what has happened to him is abnormal!

- He sees a strategy against him!

- Everything is made to destroy him!

- He doesn’t know it is the devil so he thinks it’s God!

- That’s why he can’t understand!

- Moreover we don’t know how the relationship between God and Job works, we only know it is a very strong link!

- We can imagine that something is wrong as if it was cut, as if the link was cut!

- Imagine the relationship between God and Adam, they used to speak directly, how would Adam react if it disappeared?

- Imagine all the faithful ones connected with God through visions or dreams and then nothing!

- How would they react?
 
Looking for Job

Job 7:20,21

- Job can’t imagine that the devil is after him!

- He doesn’t know what is going on!

- He can only think that God is punishing him!

- And he doesn’t know why!

- It is completely crazy and the devil knows it!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:2

- Job recognizes that we are nothing compared to God, that we know nothing!

- Sometimes when we have to cope with difficult situations, it is difficult to understand what’s going on!

- Maybe if we had more information about the relationship between God and Job, it would be easier to understand why he says what he says!

- As there is a missing link, we can rely on God saying about Job that there is no one like him on earth!

- If it is not a valuable testimony, what do we need?

- It is like a lamp illuminating darkness and opening our minds to the book of Job!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:3

- Simple but balanced!

- And Job knows God personally!

- The creature in front of his creator!

- And a really good one in the case of Job!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:4

- What a balance “wise in heart and mighty in power”!

- What a balance “wise and mighty”

- Are there better words to qualify God?

- And Job knows God personally!

- These words are a testimony!

- Also about his faithfulness!

- What powerful words!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:5

- Do we often think of God’s power?

- Like Job, we just have to think of forces of nature such as : EARTHQUAKES, VOLCANOES, TORNADOES, HURRICANES!

- We can’t control them!

- They were made by God!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:6

- All the forces of nature made by God are powerful!


- Many people die every year because of them!


- And as the human population keeps growing, the death toll increases too!


- Because of human activities we may increase their consequences!


- But man always thinks of the present and not of the future!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:7

- Just thinking of the sun and the stars and thus the infinite universe is just crazy!


- It reminds us that we are nothing and we know nothing!


- And the universe keeps growing: that’s completely crazy!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:8

- The universe is made of emptiness and yet there is so much activity


- And everything is balanced, the whole keeps together in spite of everything going in every direction!


- And we can say the same with the oceans: they are so powerful!


- And yet the only thing we find is polluting them and destroying life inside!


- We can see the majesty of God and man appears as a rat: but he will never be able to destroy God’s creation!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:9

- Just opening our eyes at night when we can see some stars!

- Everything made by God is incredible!

- We can’t say the same with man!

- On the contrary, man is a pale imitator!

- Man can only destroy and pollute!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:10

- They are so great and so numerous!

- And he used all his huge army of angels!

- God’s creation is so complex that man will never understand anything!

- Only crumbs!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:11

- God’s creation tells about God himself!

- We don’t understand his creation: that’s one thing!

- But God himself: no way, he is unbelievable!

- We can only approach his nature through his creation looking down!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:12

- God could have erased the devil and the demons and Adam and so on as the ridiculous human dictators usually do!

- But no, he let them all act to prove through God’s justice that they are liars and that God is the only one who can govern the universe and all its creatures!

- That’s why we have to bear human rats acting and bringing misery to humanity till God would have proved we are only rats unable to govern ourselves!

- That’s why we have to wait for God to put an end to this FARCE!

Looking for Job

Job 9:14

- This verse is incredible: it tells a lot about Job’s relationship with God!

- You can be close to someone but yet show respect and here Job says “choose my words carefully to argue with him”!

- I don’t remember something so deep!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:15

- What does being right in front of God mean?

- He is the creator of everything!

- The universe is incredible!

- We don’t know anything!

- We have everything to learn from God!

- Even the possibility of living forever in the future won’t be enough!
 
Looking for Job

Job 9:16

- A human being is nothing compared to God!

- A creator of the universe and one small creature of his creation!

- Just think about the few cases who had the opportunity to have a personal contact with him!
