• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

  Speaker 2: are not familiar with the scriptures, it's not job. We're
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: talking about an individual whose name was Job. We'll get
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: into that in just a moment, but first i'd like
• 1:10

  Speaker 2: the life and experience of Job. Please help us to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: live in a holy way like he did, no matter what.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and a man again.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Before I get into the part particular lessons that I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: had planned for you, one thing about Job that I
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: just literally cannot ignore is that he knew the presence
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: of God. Job knew the presence of God. And you're like, well,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: what does that even mean? Well, let me just begin.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Let me begin. There's so many ways to identify this,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: but let me begin with what God said about him.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: We're talking about Job and then talking about his wealth.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: The Bible reads in verse one of Job, chapter one,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: there was a man in the name of Ooz whose
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: name was Job. He was a man that was perfect.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: That means blameless and upright, That's what the Bible says.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And one who feared. That means he revered God. Uh huh,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and it's jewd We don't use that word. I'll come
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: back to it. Evil as jewed evil means that he
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: learned how to turn away from evil. It doesn't mean
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that he was born in a manger in Bethlehem of Judea.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: That's not what we're talking about. As chewing evil means
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: he learned how to repent, and when he repented, he
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: did not give himself an excuse to do evil. He
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: didn't say, after all, I'm only human. He did not
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: give himself an excuse for saying bad words or being
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a poor steward. He did not give himself an excuse
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: for dealing with the using ancient social media to gossip
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and to spread evil things. Job learned how to turn
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: his heart away from evil and toward God, to the
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: point that he became an example for us to follow,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: even in twenty twenty six. Let me also read Job
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: chapter twenty three, in verse twelve, because this one is incredible.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, neither have I gone back from the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: commandment of his lips. It says I have not departed
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: from the commandments speaking of God of God's lips. I
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: have treasured the words. I have esteemed the words of
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: his mouth more than my necessary food. In the New
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: English translation, it says, more than my allotted portion. This
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: is your daily portion, by the way, more than my
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: allotted portion what God has prepared for me to even eat.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Jesus said, man shall not live by bread alone, but
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: by every word of God. And so Job lived that lifestyle.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: He lived that lifestyle. And so our first lesson is
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: coming in from deep into the text from Job chapter nineteen,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: and I will read beginning at verse twenty five, were
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: a bonus, by the way, for I know that my
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: day upon the earth. And though after my skin worms
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: destroy my body, yet in my flesh I shall see God.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Job was in the midst of the most incredible and
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: trying time that a human really could go through and
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: still live through it. He lost everything. He lost his
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: he lost his health, he didn't die clearly, he lost
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: his health, He lost his children, His wife lost her
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: spiritual mind, his friends were out of their spiritual minds,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and he was under extreme trial and stress. And as
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: his body was deteriorating, he knew that one day, when
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Jesus does come, the Redeemer does come, for I will
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: say now second time. Ah well, he knew that when
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Jesus returned at the second Coming, that he would be restored.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: That he even though his flesh was rotting in that
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: moment and he was in extreme physical pain, he knew
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: that when Jesus came that he would restore him to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: redeem him, to act like the Kinsman Redeemer, someone from
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: his family. If you want to say, I can't get
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: into the context of teaching Kinsman Redeemer who said I
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: will put all on the line to make sure that
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: my brothers and sisters are saved. And so Job fixed
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: his confidence on his redeemer. His faith rested in God's
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: future promise, not his present pain. There are times that
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: we become humans, become focused on what is right in
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: front of us, the difficulties, the trials, the tribulation. Some people,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: even when we're going through great days, sometimes get fixated
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: on the great days and lose focus of whatever God
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: is calling us to do because we're so excited about
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: even some of the great things that are going on.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: When God is saying, just stay focused on me, stay
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: focused on the call that I have made on your life,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: so that one day you and all that you have influenced,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: if they have chosen to serve God in the same
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: way you have, one day we'll see God face to face.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: And so what is the action step anchor your hope
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: today and who God is? And who God is even
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: when your situation remains un resolved? And then I will
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: go to job chapter twenty three, Versus ten and eleven.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I did go to verse twelve. But let's circle back
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: a little, dial it back a little for our second lesson.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: But he knoweth the way that I take. When he
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. Do
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: you realize that when you go through trials and tribulations,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: as long as you are on God's side, You're going
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: through being on God's side, that you will come out
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: as pure gold my foot hath held his steps or
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: followed his steps closely? Do you realize that in the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: New Testament Bible Book of Revelation, there were people standing
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: on the sea of glass in the Holy City New
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Jerusalem who had followed Jesus Christ. The Bible calls him
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the lamb in that scene who followed the Lamb, whithersoever
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: he goes, wherever Jesus goes, I will go where Thou leadest,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I will follow in the words of the hymn writer,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And so Job said, my feet have followed his steps closely.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I have kept to his way and have not turned aside.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: And so the lesson is that God sees the path
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: when we cannot pastor right. When I was a new
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: believer Henry Wright, he used to say God can see
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: beyond the traffic jam. He used the metaphor of a
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: traffic helicopter and God being in that perspective or that purview,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: being able to say, Hey, there's something ahead. The road
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: is out ahead, so go to the left or go
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: to the right. And so remain committed to God's way,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: regardless of how uncertain your path may feel. Yeah, Job
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: gave us a great example about how to follow God.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Make it a great day.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
