And Job Lived Happily Ever After . . . Or Did He, Part 1 · INSIGHT FOR LIVING: Biblical Wisdom For Everyday Living

0:08
Speaker 1: Once upon a time, four words that promise us a
0:11
Speaker 1: world of kings and queens, brave knights and daring rescues,
0:15
Speaker 1: all wrapped up in a tidy ending and they lived
0:18
Speaker 1: happily ever after. But life doesn't work that way, even
0:23
Speaker 1: for the faithful, even in the Bible. Today on Insight
0:27
Speaker 1: for Living, Chuck Swindoll opens the Old Testament to the
0:30
Speaker 1: final chapter of Job. In the past few weeks, we've
0:33
Speaker 1: walked a long road with Job through loss, suffering, through
0:37
Speaker 1: hard-won surrender. And now we arrive finally at his restoration.
0:49
Speaker 2: Please turn with me to the 42nd chapter of Job.
0:54
Speaker 2: And I'll be reading the last eight verses of the book.
1:00
Speaker 2: Please hold your applause. Somebody in the first service wanted
1:10
Speaker 2: to know, do we bury Job today? Job 42, verse 10.
1:19
Speaker 2: The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed
1:23
Speaker 2: for his friends. And the Lord increased all that Job
1:27
Speaker 2: had twofold. Then all his brothers and all his sisters
1:33
Speaker 2: and all who had known him before came to him.
1:38
Speaker 2: And they ate bread with him in his house and
1:41
Speaker 2: they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversities
1:46
Speaker 2: that the Lord had brought on him. And each one
1:50
Speaker 2: gave him one piece of money and each a ring
1:55
Speaker 2: of gold. The Lord blessed the latter years, or the
2:01
Speaker 2: latter days of Job, more than his beginnings. And he
2:06
Speaker 2: had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of
2:11
Speaker 2: oxen and 1,000 female donkeys. And he had seven sons
2:17
Speaker 2: and three daughters. He named the first Jemima, the second Keziah,
2:24
Speaker 2: And the third, Karen Hapuk. In all the land, no
2:28
Speaker 2: women were found so fair as Job's daughters. And their
2:35
Speaker 2: father gave them inheritance among their brothers. After this, Job
2:40
Speaker 2: lived 140 years and saw his sons and his grandsons
2:47
Speaker 2: four generations. And Job died an old man and full
2:55
Speaker 2: of days.
3:07
Speaker 1: You're listening to Insight for Living. To dig deeper into
3:10
Speaker 1: Job's story, be sure to purchase a copy of our

3:17
Speaker 1: slash offer. Chuck titled today's message, And Job Lived Happily
3:22
Speaker 1: Ever After. Or did he?
3:25
Speaker 2: From our earliest years, we have been fascinated by stories.
3:30
Speaker 2: When we were very young, they were the stories of imagination,
3:36
Speaker 2: a world that seemed larger than life to us, and
3:39
Speaker 2: they all began with the same four words, once upon
3:44
Speaker 2: a time. It didn't matter what time it was, it just,
3:49
Speaker 2: for us, represented a world of kings and queens and
3:55
Speaker 2: princes and knights and fights and love and war and
4:00
Speaker 2: romance and usually marriage and, of course, they all finished
4:05
Speaker 2: the same way. Same six words, they lived happily ever after. Oh,
4:14
Speaker 2: that that were true. We grow up with the same
4:20
Speaker 2: hope deep in our hearts because some of us are
4:24
Speaker 2: busy Sort of like that. We like looking at the
4:27
Speaker 2: brighter side. And so when we build a house, we
4:31
Speaker 2: think it'll be our dream house. And it's not. The
4:36
Speaker 2: roof leaks or the electrical doesn't work or the garage
4:39
Speaker 2: door opener doesn't keep working or, or, or. We get
4:43
Speaker 2: a job. It's a new job. And we think this
4:45
Speaker 2: job is going to be the fulfillment of our wildest dreams.
4:49
Speaker 2: And we find we had to bring ourselves with us
4:51
Speaker 2: when we took the new job. And the people we
4:54
Speaker 2: work with are a lot like the people we just left.
4:58
Speaker 2: So that hasn't changed a great deal. Maybe it'll be
5:01
Speaker 2: different when we have our first baby. Remember thinking that? Oh,
5:08
Speaker 2: just wonderful. Then the baby comes. And there are sights
5:14
Speaker 2: and there are sounds and there are smells that were
5:18
Speaker 2: not there before. It just goes on and on. New car.
5:24
Speaker 2: New car. Nothing smells like a new car. It's wonderful.
5:29
Speaker 2: Drive out of the showroom. Boom! Somebody runs into you
5:32
Speaker 2: and it looks just like the old car that you
5:36
Speaker 2: drove in and traded. Reminds me of a little four-year-old
5:39
Speaker 2: girl that came into her mother after she had spent
5:41
Speaker 2: the day at day school. And she said, Mama, Mama,
5:44
Speaker 2: I just heard the greatest story. She said there was
5:46
Speaker 2: this wonderful, wonderful, wonderful princess. And she fell into a
5:52
Speaker 2: deep trance. And along came a charming prince. And he
5:56
Speaker 2: kissed her. And it brought her back to life. And
6:00
Speaker 2: then do you know what? Mother said, Sure, honey. They
6:03
Speaker 2: lived happily ever after. She said, No. They got married.
6:14
Speaker 2: In childhood innocence, that little four-year-old put her finger on
6:18
Speaker 2: the truth that a lot of us really don't like
6:21
Speaker 2: to think about all that often, but we have to,
6:23
Speaker 2: especially true in Bible stories. We love for those in
6:28
Speaker 2: the Bible to live happily ever after, but I can't
6:33
Speaker 2: find one who did. I can't find one. Noah lived
6:38
Speaker 2: this courageous, wonderful life and did this remarkable thing, and
6:42
Speaker 2: the flood came suddenly, And he ends his life in
6:45
Speaker 2: naked shame and drunkenness. Doesn't seem right. These wonderful judges
6:53
Speaker 2: that God gave to deliver the nation one after another
6:57
Speaker 2: in the generations that followed. And then they fall on
7:03
Speaker 2: their faces. It seems like most of them are staining
7:06
Speaker 2: their record before they die. Samson judges 20 years. Then
7:13
Speaker 2: falls into the arms of a harlot. Dies a blind
7:19
Speaker 2: grinder in the Philistine mill. David's life has a dark
7:25
Speaker 2: side as well. We don't want that. We want David
7:28
Speaker 2: to live happily ever after. But before he's finished his life,
7:34
Speaker 2: there's murder and hypocrisy and adultery everywhere. marking his record.
7:41
Speaker 2: And Solomon, his greater son, wiser than anyone who ever
7:46
Speaker 2: lived on this earth and richer than any in his day,
7:51
Speaker 2: dies a polygamist. Saul, born to be a king, dies
7:57
Speaker 2: a suicide. Peter, crucified upside down. John the baptizer, beheaded. Paul,
8:09
Speaker 2: beheaded after a life of sacrifice and service, and John
8:13
Speaker 2: exiled to an island in the Aegean. Isaac Watts was right.
8:20
Speaker 2: The 18th century, as he wrote, must I be carried
8:23
Speaker 2: to the skies on flowery beds of ease while others
8:27
Speaker 2: fought to win this prize and sail through bloody seas?
8:32
Speaker 2: Are there no foes for me to face? Must I
8:35
Speaker 2: not stem them? the flood? Is this vile world a
8:39
Speaker 2: friend to grace to help me on to God? Sure,
8:44
Speaker 2: I must fight if I would reign. Increase my courage, Lord.
8:52
Speaker 2: It's not a perfect world. Before we're tempted to lay
8:56
Speaker 2: someone like Job down on a satin pillow and surround
9:00
Speaker 2: him in an unrealistic setting of pristine peace and beauty,
9:07
Speaker 2: We need to remind ourselves he doesn't have that until
9:11
Speaker 2: he goes to heaven. On this earth, no one lives
9:17
Speaker 2: happily ever after. Fulfilled and satisfied? You bet. Challenged and
9:24
Speaker 2: growing and learning? I hope. But happy all the time?
9:32
Speaker 2: Get a life. Not even Job.
9:35
Speaker 1: Job.
9:37
Speaker 2: Before you get to chapter 42, let me have you
9:40
Speaker 2: look at chapter 23 once again. Just one verse. I
9:45
Speaker 2: wonder if Job remembered saying this to his friend Eliphaz
9:50
Speaker 2: while defending himself in his third reply. Job 23, verse 10.
9:58
Speaker 2: Look closely. You'll see it through new eyes now that
10:01
Speaker 2: you see how the story has led to Job's recovery.
10:06
Speaker 2: Back when his body was covered with sores, back when
10:10
Speaker 2: his friends were against him, family had gone away, children
10:13
Speaker 2: had died, he was bankrupt, sitting in a garbage dump
10:18
Speaker 2: at the outskirts of the city, Job still has the
10:23
Speaker 2: temerity to say, he knows the way I take. When
10:27
Speaker 2: he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
10:32
Speaker 2: Look at that. The H is capitalized. It's referring to
10:36
Speaker 2: the living God. Job makes three statements of faith, even
10:41
Speaker 2: in the midst of his suffering. One, I know that
10:45
Speaker 2: God knows my situation. He knows the way I take. Second,
10:51
Speaker 2: I believe it is God who is testing me when
10:55
Speaker 2: he has tried me. And third, I believe that after
10:59
Speaker 2: the trials have ended, I will emerge a better man.
11:05
Speaker 2: There will be gold like blessings that will come from
11:10
Speaker 2: this affliction. Quite a statement. If you ask me. Realistic. Yes,
11:17
Speaker 2: he doesn't deny the trial. But there's hope there. He
11:21
Speaker 2: knows and he will reward. And that's exactly what we
11:26
Speaker 2: find when we get to the last chapter of Job's
11:30
Speaker 2: life and Job's story. I appreciate the words of one
11:35
Speaker 2: author who said this. It would be a great gift
11:38
Speaker 2: if we could be in Job's position at the end
11:41
Speaker 2: of the book without going through what he did through
11:45
Speaker 2: the book. Gain his knowledge without suffering. But then he adds, realistically,
11:53
Speaker 2: it's doubtful that it can happen. It takes fire to
11:56
Speaker 2: refine gold. Before I go another step into chapter 42,
12:02
Speaker 2: I want to speak to you going through the fire.
12:06
Speaker 2: Just as we are different in our appearance and in
12:09
Speaker 2: our background and in our levels of maturity and age,
12:14
Speaker 2: so we are different in tests. For all you know,
12:18
Speaker 2: the person sitting close to you is going through one
12:20
Speaker 2: of the deepest times of her life or his life.
12:24
Speaker 2: Or that may be you. Fires rage. This vile world
12:31
Speaker 2: is no friend to grace. You may have run right
12:36
Speaker 2: up against the toughest test so far you've ever experienced.
12:43
Speaker 2: My words, I hope, will not have a hollow ring
12:46
Speaker 2: to them when I say to you two words. Take hope.
12:52
Speaker 2: This is not the end. He knows the way you take.
12:58
Speaker 2: When he has tried you, you too will come forth
13:04
Speaker 2: as gold. You're being refined. You are being reshaped. For
13:13
Speaker 2: he is the potter and we are the clay. Better
13:19
Speaker 2: times are coming. If not now, and if not on
13:24
Speaker 2: this earth later, when we stand before him and when
13:29
Speaker 2: we spend our eternity with him, it will be worth
13:32
Speaker 2: it all. Well, Job. Dear Job, I find when I
13:40
Speaker 2: get to the tenth verse of this last chapter of
13:42
Speaker 2: his book that it begins to list for me no
13:46
Speaker 2: less than four great rewards that came his way. Four
13:52
Speaker 2: gold-like blessings from the hand of God. And I enumerate
14:00
Speaker 2: them for us so that you might take hope where
14:02
Speaker 2: you find yourself today. Now your rewards will be different
14:07
Speaker 2: because our trials are different. The blessings that come your
14:10
Speaker 2: way ultimately will not be the same as Job's necessarily.
14:14
Speaker 2: But these are his and you will have yours. Take heart.
14:21
Speaker 2: The first of the four blessings I find in verse
14:23
Speaker 2: 10 and verse 12 of Job 42. Job's possessions are doubled. Doubled.
14:33
Speaker 2: The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed
14:37
Speaker 2: for his friends. And the latter part of the verse
14:42
Speaker 2: explains what that means. The Lord increased all that Job
14:47
Speaker 2: had twofold. There are times I don't take a verse
14:54
Speaker 2: absolutely literally, but this is one of those I do.
14:58
Speaker 2: I think literally because of what's said in verse 12,
15:03
Speaker 2: Everything doubled. Perhaps his land as well as his possessions.
15:10
Speaker 2: Perhaps a larger home was able to be built rather
15:13
Speaker 2: than the one they lived in before. But we are
15:15
Speaker 2: told specifically of the multiplication that occurred over the passing
15:21
Speaker 2: of time with his animals. The Lord blessed the latter
15:26
Speaker 2: days of Job more than his beginnings. If you check
15:31
Speaker 2: Job chapter 1 verses 2 and 3, you will read
15:36
Speaker 2: one half these figures. He originally had 7,000 sheep and
15:41
Speaker 2: he winds up in verse 12 tells us with 14,000.
15:46
Speaker 2: So his flocks grow as he feeds them and breeds
15:49
Speaker 2: them so their numbers increase and there's plenty to eat
15:54
Speaker 2: and there is plenty of land to graze in and
15:58
Speaker 2: the sheep. grow in number to 14,000. And remember the
16:03
Speaker 2: caravans that Job was a part of in his business?
16:06
Speaker 2: His business doubles. He now doesn't have 3,000 camels, but 6,000 camels.
16:13
Speaker 2: What a sight that must have been, huh? You ever
16:16
Speaker 2: looked at a camel? You looked at one lately? They
16:19
Speaker 2: are weird, weird, weird, weird, weird. They just look funny.
16:24
Speaker 2: We were in central Florida this week, and we were
16:29
Speaker 2: at a particular place where there happened to have been
16:32
Speaker 2: a mama and a baby camel. They don't look any
16:37
Speaker 2: better as babies as they do as mamas. And one
16:40
Speaker 2: of them looked at me and went, and I was
16:43
Speaker 2: just glad I wasn't close. I thought, I thought because
16:46
Speaker 2: I knew this verse was coming, I'd been thinking about it, 6,000
16:49
Speaker 2: of these things running around. But my, in the days
16:54
Speaker 2: of Job, they were like freight trucks. And they would
16:59
Speaker 2: carry the load in caravans. And his business is increasing.
17:03
Speaker 2: And he's got a thousand yoke of oxen to work
17:06
Speaker 2: the fields. And it must have been out of every
17:09
Speaker 2: window of his home he could see the luscious plants
17:13
Speaker 2: and the growth of the crops all around him. And
17:16
Speaker 2: he's got a thousand female donkeys. So he's got everything
17:21
Speaker 2: twice as much as he had before. Not instantaneously, but
17:27
Speaker 2: Over the passing of some years, his possessions grew. There's
17:34
Speaker 2: something here, I think, that's kind of between the lines.
17:39
Speaker 2: The Lord chooses on occasion to bless certain individuals with
17:46
Speaker 2: more than is enough. We must learn in our lives
17:53
Speaker 2: as God's people to let it be. Guard yourself from
17:59
Speaker 2: one of life's ugliest habits, and that is envy. I
18:05
Speaker 2: know the great temptation is to remind the Lord of
18:08
Speaker 2: how faithful you have been when you see a neighbor
18:12
Speaker 2: or maybe a friend whose business grows and yours doesn't,
18:17
Speaker 2: or whose life becomes more prosperous. In fact, to the
18:20
Speaker 2: point of being downright rich. Don't decry that. Don't try
18:28
Speaker 2: to outguess that. It is unfair. It is unwise to
18:33
Speaker 2: think that every or most every wealthy individual has not
18:41
Speaker 2: earned it well or does not receive it from the
18:45
Speaker 2: hand of God. Some of God's dearest saints are eminently wealthy.
18:52
Speaker 2: Let it be. Let it be. If you are one
18:57
Speaker 2: of them, you hardly need the reminder that you didn't
19:01
Speaker 2: create it yourself. It came because of his grace. And
19:05
Speaker 2: if he chooses not to bless you as he has
19:07
Speaker 2: blessed another, applaud it rather than resent it. Job increases,
19:16
Speaker 2: multiplies enormously. He has come forth as gold. having been tested. Now,
19:29
Speaker 2: there's a second blessing that comes in verse 11. His
19:33
Speaker 2: relatives and friends emerge. Some of you have a sense
19:40
Speaker 2: of humor a little like mine, I'm sorry to say,
19:43
Speaker 2: and you think like I did. Where in the world
19:45
Speaker 2: were you guys before he won the lottery here? Someone said,
19:51
Speaker 2: you always know who your friends are when you win
19:53
Speaker 2: the lottery or own a pickup. I think that's a
19:56
Speaker 2: good comment. Job looks up and he's surrounded by all
20:03
Speaker 2: his brothers and, it repeats it, all his sisters. Interesting,
20:07
Speaker 2: they're never mentioned until now. They weren't around when his
20:12
Speaker 2: time was troubled. Or were they? You don't know that,
20:18
Speaker 2: nor do I. But if they were, they said nothing,
20:23
Speaker 2: and their names are never recorded, nor are their words
20:26
Speaker 2: recorded in the first 41 1⁄2 chapters of the book.
20:32
Speaker 2: But now they come, all his brothers, all his sisters,
20:36
Speaker 2: all who had known him before. You know who I
20:38
Speaker 2: would include? Because they're now forgiven, Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar, and Elihu.
20:44
Speaker 2: Why not? They're not blacklisted, are they? Because they didn't
20:49
Speaker 2: do the right thing or say the right thing at
20:51
Speaker 2: a time when they too were confused. They're forgiven. If
20:55
Speaker 2: I read correctly, verses 7 through 10, Job even prays
20:59
Speaker 2: for them and they're restored. So why not be a
21:02
Speaker 2: part of the family reunion? Notice what these people did
21:06
Speaker 2: when they came. They They came to him and they
21:09
Speaker 2: ate bread with him in his house and they consoled
21:13
Speaker 2: him and they comforted him for all the adversities that
21:17
Speaker 2: the Lord had brought on him. What a great family reunion.
21:22
Speaker 2: Remember the days of family reunions? They're kind of scary
21:26
Speaker 2: when you think back on them. They're kind of funny.
21:29
Speaker 2: We had family reunions, not every year, but many years.
21:33
Speaker 2: It got a little weird when Uncle Jake showed up,
21:35
Speaker 2: but until then it was interesting. I loved Uncle Jake.
21:39
Speaker 2: Weighed about 400 pounds and had a rope belt. I
21:42
Speaker 2: used to think that was hilarious. My youngest son still
21:45
Speaker 2: loves to hear stories about Uncle Jake. And he was
21:50
Speaker 2: quite a character. I won't go into Uncle Jake any further.
21:53
Speaker 2: I'll just leave it at that. But we had family reunions.
21:56
Speaker 2: My granddad owned a bay cottage, and that's where we
21:59
Speaker 2: would have our reunion, down south of El Campo near Palacios.
22:05
Speaker 2: And we would all pile into this four-room house. And
22:10
Speaker 2: I remember barbecue cooked in a pit outside. The one
22:15
Speaker 2: doing the cooking would use a mop to smear over the...
22:20
Speaker 2: We weren't too clean in those days as we mopped that,
22:24
Speaker 2: slapped that barbecue sauce. Man, that makes my jaws hurt
22:30
Speaker 2: right now when I think about it. Go to bed
22:32
Speaker 2: at night with the mosquito net over your crib and
22:36
Speaker 2: your beds and... Just fun time. I remember hearing my
22:39
Speaker 2: dad and mom laughing in the kitchen as they played
22:43
Speaker 2: 42 with my uncle and aunt. Great moments where they
22:50
Speaker 2: talked about fun stuff. And life got real simple as
22:54
Speaker 2: you sort of made up your mind about it in
22:58
Speaker 2: a family reunion. Job had a time like that. What
23:02
Speaker 2: stories he must have told him. I love it that
23:06
Speaker 2: they comforted and consoled him. Maybe he had a few
23:10
Speaker 2: scars remaining from the sores. Maybe you could tell him
23:15
Speaker 2: about the night he lost all hope of being able
23:18
Speaker 2: to make it. Those are kind of stories that make
23:21
Speaker 2: a family reunion deeper and meaningful. And I notice also,
23:26
Speaker 2: as you have, that each one gave him one piece
23:29
Speaker 2: of money and a ring of gold. Isn't that fantastic? Intriguing.
23:37
Speaker 2: Maybe this was early on and he hadn't yet begun
23:40
Speaker 2: to build back his business and maybe they wanted to
23:42
Speaker 2: participate in helping him get back on his feet. Remember,
23:46
Speaker 2: he's lost it all. Maybe he had had to take
23:51
Speaker 2: all of the rings he had before and sell them
23:53
Speaker 2: to live on it. And they wanted to be sure
23:56
Speaker 2: he had a few nice things as well. Maybe they
24:01
Speaker 2: were housewarming gifts. Welcoming him to a new home that
24:05
Speaker 2: he had just built. And they were all happy for him.
24:13
Speaker 2: Men and women in a fast-paced world like ours, it's
24:16
Speaker 2: easy to lose your roots. Easy to live just for yourself.
24:22
Speaker 2: He stays in touch and they stay in touch with him.
24:25
Speaker 2: They have a lot to talk about. You know who
24:28
Speaker 2: had a lot to talk about? His Job and his wife.
24:33
Speaker 2: In many a home where physical affliction hits hard, there's
24:40
Speaker 2: a separation that occurs. Distance is built. Some marriages can't
24:45
Speaker 2: make it. And the wife goes one direction and the
24:49
Speaker 2: husband drifts another. You got to hand it to Job
24:53
Speaker 2: and his wife. They stuck it out.
25:08
Speaker 1: Suffering rarely arrives with easy answers, and Job knew that
25:12
Speaker 1: better than anyone. As we've heard today, Chuck Swindoll reminded
25:16
Speaker 1: us that faith isn't the absence of questions. It's trusting
25:19
Speaker 1: God in the middle of them. Chuck titled today's message,
25:23
Speaker 1: And Job Lived Happily Ever After. Or did he? Here
25:27
Speaker 1: at Insight for Living, we understand you may come to
25:29

26:08
Speaker 1: been written, the pictures have been selected, and Chuck's memoir
26:11
Speaker 1: is going to be rolling off the printing presses very soon.
26:15
Speaker 1: Born in rural Texas in 1934, Charles often heard he
26:19
Speaker 1: was a mistake. Did you know that Chuck began stuttering
26:22
Speaker 1: in the seventh grade? But even while stumbling through his
26:25
Speaker 1: young adulthood, God was working out his purposes. In Awakened
26:30
Speaker 1: by Grace, Chuck shares for the very first time how
26:33
Speaker 1: God helped him grow from a small, insecure boy into
26:36
Speaker 1: a man who delights in speaking grace and truth to millions.
