#11. Job 32-37 | That We Might Share in His Holiness · Dwelling Place: The Bible for Moms

• 0:00
  This
• 0:00
  is
• 0:01
  a
• 0:01
  dwelling
• 0:01
  place
• 0:02
  where
• 0:02
  we
• 0:02
  believe
• 0:02
  that
• 0:03
  the
• 0:03
  Lord
• 0:03
  is
• 0:03
  available
• 0:03
  and
• 0:04
  near
• 0:04
  and
• 0:04
  more
• 0:04
  than
• 0:05
  anything,
• 0:05
  we
• 0:06
  want
• 0:06
  to
• 0:06
  help
• 0:06
  you
• 0:06
  and
• 0:07
  your
• 0:07
  family
• 0:07
  pursue
• 0:08
  his
• 0:08
  presence.
• 0:09
  we're
• 0:09
  coming
• 0:09
  to
• 0:10
  the
• 0:10
  conclusion
• 0:10
  of

  the

  Book

  of
• 0:11
  Job.

  After

  book

  Bible,

  the

  Genesis

  passages

• 0:38
  Seriously,
• 0:38
  even
• 0:39
  the
• 0:39
  smallest
• 0:39
  of
• 0:39
  questions
• 0:40
  we
• 0:40
  wanna
• 0:40
  hear
• 0:40
  from
• 0:41
  you
• 0:41
  and
• 0:41
  Betsy
• 0:42
  will
• 0:42
  be
• 0:42
  happy
• 0:42
  to
• 0:42
  address
• 0:43
  any
• 0:43
  issues
• 0:43
  that
• 0:43
  she
• 0:44
  can.
• 0:44
  Thankfully
• 0:45
  we
• 0:45
  concluded
• 0:46
  with
• 0:46
  the
• 0:46
  accusations
• 0:47
  of
• 0:47
  job's,
• 0:47
  friends,
• 0:48
  but
• 0:48
  I
• 0:48
  just
• 0:48
  wanna
• 0:48
  point
• 0:49
  out
• 0:49
  an
• 0:49
  irony
• 0:49
  to
• 0:50
  the
• 0:50
  fact
• 0:50
  that
• 0:50
  they
• 0:50
  kept
• 0:51
  accusing
• 0:51
  job
• 0:51
  of
• 0:51
  suffering
• 0:52
  because
• 0:52
  he
• 0:53
  was
• 0:53
  unrighteous
• 0:54
  when
• 0:54
  the
• 0:54
  reality
• 0:55
  is
• 0:55
  that
• 0:55
  job
• 0:55
  was
• 0:55
  actually
• 0:56
  put
• 0:56
  in
• 0:56
  this
• 0:56
  situation
• 0:57
  because
• 0:57
  of
• 0:58
  his
• 0:58
  righteousness.
• 0:59
  He
• 0:59
  was
• 0:59
  elevated
• 1:00
  because
• 1:00
  God
• 1:00
  knew
• 1:00
  he
• 1:01
  would
• 1:01
  pass
• 1:01
  the
• 1:01
  test
• 1:02
  Is
• 1:02
  that
• 1:02
  somewhat
• 1:03
  reassuring?
• 1:03
  If
• 1:04
  you're
• 1:04
  going
• 1:04
  through
• 1:04
  circumstances
• 1:05
  that
• 1:05
  are
• 1:05
  making
• 1:06
  you
• 1:06
  feel,
• 1:06
  where
• 1:06
  did
• 1:07
  I
• 1:07
  go
• 1:07
  wrong?
• 1:08
  Maybe
• 1:08
  you
• 1:08
  haven't
• 1:09
  at
• 1:09
  all.
• 1:09
  But
• 1:10
  it's
• 1:10
  possible
• 1:10
  the
• 1:10
  Lord
• 1:10
  is
• 1:11
  allowing
• 1:11
  your
• 1:11
  character
• 1:12
  to
• 1:12
  be
• 1:12
  refined
• 1:12
  and
• 1:13
  proven
• 1:13
  through
• 1:13
  this
• 1:14
  trial,
• 1:14
  even
• 1:14
  if
• 1:15
  it
• 1:15
  wasn't
• 1:15
  of
• 1:15
  your
• 1:15
  own
• 1:15
  doing.
• 1:16
  Today's
• 1:17
  reading
• 1:17
  was
• 1:17
  on
• 1:17
  Job
• 1:17
  chapter
• 1:18
  32,
• 1:18
  verse
• 1:18
  37.
• 1:20
  It
• 1:20
  was
• 1:20
  a
• 1:20
  long
• 1:20
  stretch,
• 1:21
  but
• 1:21
  we
• 1:21
  combined
• 1:21
  these
• 1:22
  because
• 1:22
  they
• 1:22
  are
• 1:22
  all
• 1:23
  of
• 1:23
  Allah,
• 1:23
  who's
• 1:23
  speeches.
• 1:24
  He's
• 1:25
  been
• 1:25
  a
• 1:25
  silent
• 1:25
  observer
• 1:26
  for
• 1:26
  many
• 1:26
  chapters,
• 1:27
  but
• 1:27
  he
• 1:27
  is
• 1:28
  burning
• 1:28
  with
• 1:28
  anger
• 1:29
  as
• 1:29
  it
• 1:29
  says
• 1:29
  four
• 1:29
  times
• 1:30
  in
• 1:30
  the
• 1:30
  opening
• 1:31
  verses
• 1:31
  of
• 1:31
  chapter
• 1:31
  32,
• 1:32
  and
• 1:32
  he
• 1:33
  can
• 1:33
  no
• 1:33
  longer
• 1:33
  stay
• 1:34
  silent.
• 1:34
  Though
• 1:35
  he
• 1:35
  was
• 1:35
  younger
• 1:35
  and
• 1:35
  allowed
• 1:36
  his
• 1:36
  elders
• 1:36
  to
• 1:36
  go
• 1:36
  first,
• 1:37
  he
• 1:37
  is
• 1:37
  now
• 1:38
  going
• 1:38
  to
• 1:38
  give
• 1:38
  his
• 1:38
  perspective
• 1:39
  and
• 1:39
  it's
• 1:39
  a
• 1:40
  little
• 1:40
  bit
• 1:40
  more
• 1:40
  nuanced
• 1:41
  than
• 1:41
  job's
• 1:41
  previous
• 1:42
  friends.
• 1:42
  However,
• 1:43
  he's
• 1:43
  still
• 1:44
  pretty
• 1:44
  hard
• 1:44
  on
• 1:44
  job.
• 1:45
  Some
• 1:45
  scholars
• 1:46
  have
• 1:46
  even
• 1:46
  considered
• 1:47
  that
• 1:47
  Elihu
• 1:48
  might
• 1:48
  be
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  author
• 1:48
  of
• 1:49
  Job
• 1:49
  as
• 1:49
  his
• 1:49
  speeches
• 1:50
  tied
• 1:50
  together
• 1:50
  different
• 1:51
  sections
• 1:51
  of
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  book.
• 1:52
  I
• 1:52
  find
• 1:53
  John
• 1:53
  MacArthur's
• 1:53
  commentary
• 1:54
  to
• 1:54
  be
• 1:54
  helpful
• 1:55
  in
• 1:55
  summarizing
• 1:55
  Elihu
• 1:56
  speeches,
• 1:57
  he
• 1:57
  divides
• 1:57
  them
• 1:57
  into
• 1:58
  six
• 1:58
  sections.
• 1:59
  First
• 1:59
  of
• 1:59
  all,
• 2:00
  Elihu
• 2:00
  enters
• 2:01
  into
• 2:01
  the
• 2:01
  debate
• 2:02
  to
• 2:02
  break
• 2:02
  the
• 2:02
  impasse
• 2:03
  job's.
• 2:03
  Friends
• 2:04
  keep
• 2:04
  accusing
• 2:04
  job.
• 2:05
  Job
• 2:05
  is
• 2:05
  absolutely
• 2:06
  committed
• 2:06
  to
• 2:06
  his
• 2:07
  righteousness
• 2:08
  and
• 2:08
  they
• 2:08
  are
• 2:08
  not
• 2:09
  making
• 2:09
  any
• 2:09
  progress.
• 2:10
  In
• 2:10
  Chapter
• 2:11
  32,
• 2:11
  elihu
• 2:12
  continues
• 2:12
  with
• 2:12
  his
• 2:12
  second
• 2:13
  speech.
• 2:13
  He
• 2:14
  charges
• 2:14
  job
• 2:14
  with
• 2:14
  his
• 2:15
  presumption
• 2:16
  in
• 2:16
  criticizing
• 2:16
  God.
• 2:17
  He
• 2:17
  says,
• 2:17
  job
• 2:18
  is
• 2:18
  not
• 2:18
  recognizing
• 2:19
  that
• 2:19
  God
• 2:19
  may
• 2:20
  have
• 2:20
  a
• 2:20
  loving
• 2:20
  purpose
• 2:21
  in
• 2:21
  allowing
• 2:21
  him
• 2:21
  to
• 2:21
  suffer.
• 2:22
  In
• 2:22
  the
• 2:22
  third
• 2:22
  speech
• 2:23
  in
• 2:23
  chapter
• 2:23
  34,
• 2:24
  Elihu
• 2:25
  says
• 2:25
  that
• 2:25
  Job
• 2:25
  has
• 2:25
  wrongly
• 2:26
  accused
• 2:26
  God
• 2:27
  of
• 2:27
  not
• 2:27
  acting
• 2:28
  with
• 2:28
  integrity.
• 2:29
  When
• 2:29
  he
• 2:29
  says
• 2:29
  that
• 2:30
  it
• 2:30
  doesn't
• 2:30
  pay
• 2:30
  off
• 2:31
  to
• 2:31
  lead
• 2:31
  a
• 2:31
  godly
• 2:31
  life.
• 2:32
  The
• 2:32
  fourth
• 2:32
  speech
• 2:33
  in
• 2:33
  chapter
• 2:33
  34,
• 2:34
  A
• 2:34
  Lie
• 2:34
  Who
• 2:34
  Urges
• 2:35
  Job
• 2:35
  to
• 2:35
  Wait
• 2:35
  patiently
• 2:36
  upon
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  Lord.
• 2:37
  In
• 2:37
  chapter
• 2:38
  36
• 2:39
  he
• 2:39
  begins
• 2:39
  his
• 2:39
  fifth
• 2:39
  speech
• 2:40
  asserting
• 2:41
  that
• 2:41
  God
• 2:41
  is
• 2:41
  disciplining
• 2:42
  Job.
• 2:42
  And
• 2:42
  then
• 2:43
  finally
• 2:43
  in
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  conclusion
• 2:44
  of
• 2:44
  chapter
• 2:44
  36
• 2:45
  and
• 2:45
  then
• 2:45
  all
• 2:45
  of
• 2:46
  37,
• 2:46
  he
• 2:47
  says,
• 2:47
  human
• 2:47
  observers
• 2:48
  can
• 2:48
  hardly
• 2:49
  expect
• 2:50
  to
• 2:50
  understand
• 2:50
  God's
• 2:51
  dealings
• 2:51
  in
• 2:52
  administering
• 2:52
  justice
• 2:53
  and
• 2:53
  mercy.
• 2:54
  Elihu
• 2:54
  highly
• 2:55
  elevates
• 2:55
  the
• 2:55
  Lord,
• 2:56
  his
• 2:56
  character
• 2:56
  and
• 2:56
  his
• 2:56
  wisdom.
• 2:57
  But
• 2:57
  ironically,
• 2:58
  he
• 2:58
  also
• 2:58
  elevates
• 2:59
  himself
• 2:59
  pretty
• 3:00
  highly.
• 3:00
  In
• 3:01
  chapter
• 3:01
  36,
• 3:01
  he
• 3:02
  begins,
• 3:02
  bear
• 3:03
  with
• 3:03
  me
• 3:03
  a
• 3:03
  little
• 3:03
  and
• 3:04
  I
• 3:04
  will
• 3:04
  show
• 3:04
  you
• 3:05
  for
• 3:05
  I
• 3:05
  have
• 3:05
  yet
• 3:06
  something
• 3:06
  to
• 3:06
  say
• 3:06
  On
• 3:07
  God's
• 3:07
  behalf,
• 3:08
  I
• 3:08
  will
• 3:08
  get
• 3:08
  my
• 3:08
  knowledge
• 3:09
  from
• 3:09
  afar
• 3:09
  and
• 3:09
  ascribe
• 3:10
  righteousness
• 3:10
  to
• 3:11
  my
• 3:11
  maker
• 3:11
  for
• 3:11
  truly
• 3:12
  my
• 3:12
  words
• 3:12
  are
• 3:13
  not
• 3:13
  false.
• 3:13
  One
• 3:14
  who
• 3:14
  is
• 3:14
  perfect
• 3:15
  in
• 3:15
  knowledge
• 3:15
  is
• 3:15
  with
• 3:15
  you.
• 3:16
  Whoa.
• 3:17
  That's
• 3:18
  a
• 3:18
  pretty
• 3:18
  confident
• 3:18
  statement
• 3:19
  for
• 3:19
  someone
• 3:19
  who's
• 3:19
  going
• 3:20
  to
• 3:20
  say
• 3:20
  that
• 3:20
  we
• 3:21
  can't
• 3:21
  know
• 3:21
  all
• 3:22
  of
• 3:22
  God's
• 3:22
  workings,
• 3:23
  but
• 3:23
  he
• 3:23
  says
• 3:23
  he's
• 3:24
  perfect
• 3:24
  in
• 3:24
  knowledge
• 3:25
  still.
• 3:25
  I
• 3:25
  like
• 3:26
  how
• 3:26
  he
• 3:26
  elevates
• 3:26
  the
• 3:27
  character
• 3:27
  of
• 3:27
  God
• 3:27
  as
• 3:27
  he
• 3:27
  continues
• 3:28
  in
• 3:28
  chapter
• 3:28
  36.
• 3:29
  I
• 3:30
  behold
• 3:30
  God
• 3:30
  is
• 3:31
  mighty
• 3:31
  and
• 3:31
  does
• 3:31
  not
• 3:32
  despise
• 3:32
  any.
• 3:33
  He
• 3:33
  is
• 3:33
  mighty
• 3:34
  in
• 3:34
  strength
• 3:34
  of
• 3:34
  understanding.
• 3:35
  He
• 3:36
  does
• 3:36
  not
• 3:36
  keep
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  wicked
• 3:37
  alive,
• 3:37
  but
• 3:37
  gives
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  afflicted
• 3:39
  their
• 3:39
  right.
• 3:39
  He
• 3:40
  does
• 3:40
  not
• 3:40
  withdraw
• 3:41
  his
• 3:41
  eyes
• 3:41
  from
• 3:41
  the
• 3:41
  righteous,
• 3:42
  but
• 3:42
  with
• 3:42
  kings
• 3:43
  on
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  throne,
• 3:43
  he
• 3:44
  sets
• 3:44
  them
• 3:44
  forever
• 3:45
  and
• 3:45
  they
• 3:45
  are
• 3:45
  exalted,
• 3:46
  and
• 3:46
  if
• 3:46
  they're
• 3:47
  bound
• 3:47
  in
• 3:47
  chains
• 3:47
  and
• 3:48
  caught
• 3:48
  in
• 3:48
  the
• 3:48
  cords
• 3:48
  of
• 3:49
  affliction,
• 3:50
  then
• 3:50
  he
• 3:50
  declares
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  them
• 3:51
  their
• 3:51
  work
• 3:51
  and
• 3:51
  their
• 3:51
  transgressions,
• 3:52
  that
• 3:53
  they're
• 3:53
  behaving
• 3:53
  arrogantly.
• 3:54
  He
• 3:54
  opens
• 3:55
  their
• 3:55
  ears
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  instruction
• 3:56
  and
• 3:56
  commands
• 3:57
  that
• 3:57
  they
• 3:57
  return
• 3:57
  from
• 3:58
  iniquity.
• 3:59
  If
• 3:59
  they
• 3:59
  listen
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  serve
• 4:00
  him.
• 4:00
  They
• 4:00
  complete
• 4:01
  their
• 4:01
  day's
• 4:01
  in
• 4:01
  prosperity
• 4:02
  and
• 4:02
  their
• 4:02
  years
• 4:03
  in
• 4:03
  pleasantness.
• 4:04
  But
• 4:04
  if
• 4:04
  they
• 4:04
  do
• 4:04
  not
• 4:05
  listen,
• 4:05
  they
• 4:05
  perish
• 4:06
  by
• 4:06
  the
• 4:06
  sword
• 4:07
  and
• 4:07
  die
• 4:07
  without
• 4:07
  knowledge.
• 4:08
  Several
• 4:09
  times,
• 4:09
  Elihu
• 4:10
  mentions
• 4:10
  that
• 4:10
  God
• 4:11
  can
• 4:11
  actually
• 4:11
  use
• 4:12
  suffering
• 4:13
  as
• 4:13
  a
• 4:13
  form
• 4:13
  of
• 4:13
  discipline
• 4:14
  to
• 4:14
  warn
• 4:14
  us
• 4:14
  of
• 4:14
  future
• 4:15
  sin
• 4:15
  or
• 4:16
  to
• 4:16
  refine
• 4:16
  our
• 4:16
  character,
• 4:17
  and
• 4:17
  he's
• 4:17
  saying
• 4:18
  that
• 4:18
  God
• 4:18
  has
• 4:18
  been
• 4:18
  offering
• 4:19
  wisdom.
• 4:20
  That
• 4:20
  job
• 4:20
  has
• 4:20
  been
• 4:20
  shutting
• 4:21
  out
• 4:21
  Elihu
• 4:22
  quotes
• 4:22
  Job
• 4:22
  specifically
• 4:23
  and
• 4:23
  condemns
• 4:24
  him
• 4:24
  for
• 4:24
  how
• 4:24
  he's
• 4:24
  wrongly
• 4:25
  spoken
• 4:25
  of
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  Lord.
• 4:26
  But
• 4:26
  there
• 4:26
  is
• 4:27
  even
• 4:27
  a
• 4:27
  time
• 4:27
  or
• 4:27
  two
• 4:27
  that
• 4:28
  he
• 4:28
  wrongly
• 4:28
  attributes
• 4:29
  a
• 4:29
  quote
• 4:29
  to
• 4:30
  job
• 4:30
  and
• 4:30
  accuses
• 4:30
  him
• 4:30
  falsely.
• 4:31
  in
• 4:31
  the
• 4:32
  fourth
• 4:32
  speech.
• 4:32
  He
• 4:33
  gives
• 4:33
  three
• 4:33
  reasons
• 4:34
  why
• 4:34
  he
• 4:34
  thinks
• 4:34
  that
• 4:34
  job's
• 4:35
  prayers
• 4:35
  haven't
• 4:35
  been
• 4:35
  heard.
• 4:36
  He
• 4:36
  believes
• 4:37
  it's
• 4:37
  job's
• 4:37
  pride,
• 4:38
  his
• 4:38
  wrong
• 4:39
  motives,
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  a
• 4:40
  lack
• 4:40
  of
• 4:40
  patient
• 4:41
  trust
• 4:41
  in
• 4:41
  his
• 4:42
  creator
• 4:42
  Job's,
• 4:42
  greatest
• 4:43
  sin
• 4:43
  is
• 4:43
  the
• 4:43
  way
• 4:44
  he
• 4:44
  accused
• 4:44
  the
• 4:44
  Lord
• 4:45
  and
• 4:45
  demanded
• 4:45
  an
• 4:45
  audience
• 4:46
  with
• 4:46
  him.
• 4:47
  It's
• 4:47
  helpful
• 4:47
  if
• 4:47
  we
• 4:47
  look
• 4:48
  into
• 4:48
  the
• 4:48
  New
• 4:48
  Testament
• 4:48
  at
• 4:48
  Hebrews
• 4:49
  12.
• 4:49
  This
• 4:50
  is
• 4:50
  one
• 4:50
  of
• 4:50
  the
• 4:50
  key
• 4:50
  chapters
• 4:51
  in
• 4:51
  scripture
• 4:51
  on
• 4:51
  the
• 4:52
  discipline
• 4:52
  of
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  Lord.
• 4:53
  Often
• 4:53
  when
• 4:54
  we
• 4:54
  experience
• 4:54
  suffering,
• 4:55
  it
• 4:55
  is
• 4:55
  the
• 4:56
  discipline
• 4:56
  of
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  Lord
• 4:57
  and
• 4:57
  he
• 4:57
  is
• 4:57
  desiring
• 4:58
  to
• 4:58
  refine
• 4:58
  our
• 4:58
  character.
• 4:59
  Hebrews
• 4:59
  12
• 5:00
  verse
• 5:00
  five
• 5:00
  begins,
• 5:01
  have
• 5:01
  you
• 5:01
  forgotten
• 5:02
  the
• 5:02
  exhortation
• 5:03
  that
• 5:03
  addresses
• 5:03
  you
• 5:03
  as
• 5:03
  son?
• 5:04
  My
• 5:04
  son
• 5:05
  do
• 5:05
  not
• 5:05
  regard
• 5:06
  lightly
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  discipline
• 5:07
  of
• 5:07
  the
• 5:07
  Lord
• 5:08
  nor
• 5:08
  be
• 5:08
  weary
• 5:08
  when
• 5:09
  reproved
• 5:09
  by
• 5:09
  him.
• 5:10
  For
• 5:10
  the
• 5:10
  Lord,
• 5:11
  disciplines
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  one
• 5:12
  he
• 5:12
  loves
• 5:12
  and
• 5:13
  chastens
• 5:13
  every
• 5:14
  son
• 5:14
  whom
• 5:14
  he
• 5:14
  receives.
• 5:15
  It
• 5:15
  is
• 5:16
  for
• 5:16
  discipline
• 5:16
  that
• 5:16
  you
• 5:16
  have
• 5:17
  to
• 5:17
  endure.
• 5:18
  God
• 5:18
  is
• 5:18
  treating
• 5:18
  us
• 5:19
  sons
• 5:19
  for
• 5:19
  what
• 5:20
  son
• 5:20
  is
• 5:20
  there,
• 5:21
  whom
• 5:21
  his
• 5:21
  father
• 5:21
  does
• 5:22
  not
• 5:22
  discipline.
• 5:23
  If
• 5:23
  you
• 5:23
  are
• 5:23
  left
• 5:23
  without
• 5:24
  discipline
• 5:24
  in
• 5:24
  which
• 5:24
  all
• 5:25
  have
• 5:25
  participated.
• 5:26
  Then
• 5:26
  you
• 5:26
  are
• 5:26
  illegitimate
• 5:27
  children
• 5:28
  and
• 5:28
  not
• 5:28
  sons.
• 5:29
  Besides
• 5:29
  this,
• 5:30
  we
• 5:30
  have
• 5:30
  had
• 5:31
  earthly
• 5:31
  fathers
• 5:31
  who
• 5:32
  disciplined
• 5:32
  us
• 5:32
  and
• 5:33
  we
• 5:33
  respected
• 5:33
  them,
• 5:34
  shall
• 5:34
  we
• 5:34
  not
• 5:35
  much
• 5:35
  more
• 5:35
  be
• 5:35
  subject
• 5:35
  to
• 5:36
  the
• 5:36
  father
• 5:36
  of
• 5:36
  spirits
• 5:37
  and
• 5:37
  live
• 5:38
  for?
• 5:38
  They
• 5:38
  disciplined
• 5:38
  us
• 5:38
  for
• 5:39
  a
• 5:39
  short
• 5:39
  time
• 5:39
  as
• 5:39
  it
• 5:39
  seemed
• 5:40
  best
• 5:40
  to
• 5:40
  them,
• 5:41
  but
• 5:41
  he
• 5:41
  disciplines
• 5:42
  us
• 5:42
  for
• 5:42
  our
• 5:42
  good
• 5:43
  that
• 5:43
  we
• 5:43
  may
• 5:43
  share
• 5:44
  in
• 5:44
  his
• 5:44
  holiness.
• 5:45
  For
• 5:45
  the
• 5:45
  moment,
• 5:46
  all
• 5:46
  discipline
• 5:47
  seems
• 5:47
  painful
• 5:47
  rather
• 5:48
  than
• 5:48
  pleasant,
• 5:49
  but
• 5:49
  later
• 5:49
  it
• 5:49
  yields
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  peaceful
• 5:51
  fruit
• 5:51
  of
• 5:51
  righteousness
• 5:52
  to
• 5:52
  those
• 5:52
  who
• 5:53
  have
• 5:53
  been
• 5:53
  trained
• 5:53
  by
• 5:53
  it.
• 5:54
  Elihu
• 5:55
  is
• 5:55
  somewhat
• 5:55
  on
• 5:55
  the
• 5:55
  right
• 5:56
  track
• 5:56
  saying
• 5:56
  God
• 5:57
  can
• 5:57
  discipline
• 5:57
  us
• 5:58
  or
• 5:58
  allowing
• 5:58
  suffering
• 5:59
  for
• 5:59
  our
• 5:59
  good.
• 5:59
  As
• 6:00
  Hebrew
• 6:00
  says
• 6:00
  that
• 6:00
  we
• 6:00
  might
• 6:01
  share
• 6:01
  in
• 6:01
  His
• 6:01
  Holiness,
• 6:02
  but
• 6:02
  he
• 6:02
  still
• 6:03
  doesn't
• 6:03
  have
• 6:03
  a
• 6:03
  grasp
• 6:04
  on
• 6:04
  why
• 6:04
  Job
• 6:04
  is
• 6:04
  in
• 6:04
  this
• 6:05
  situation.
• 6:05
  Obviously,
• 6:06
  we
• 6:06
  need
• 6:06
  to
• 6:06
  connect
• 6:06
  this
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  our
• 6:07
  parenting.
• 6:08
  There
• 6:08
  are
• 6:08
  going
• 6:08
  to
• 6:08
  be
• 6:08
  plenty
• 6:09
  of
• 6:09
  times
• 6:09
  we're
• 6:09
  asking
• 6:10
  our
• 6:10
  kids
• 6:10
  to
• 6:10
  do
• 6:10
  things
• 6:11
  that
• 6:11
  are
• 6:11
  uncomfortable
• 6:11
  for
• 6:12
  them
• 6:12
  that
• 6:12
  they
• 6:12
  don't
• 6:12
  wanna
• 6:13
  do.
• 6:13
  Might
• 6:13
  be
• 6:14
  something
• 6:14
  simple
• 6:14
  like
• 6:14
  cleaning
• 6:15
  their
• 6:15
  rooms.
• 6:16
  And
• 6:16
  if
• 6:16
  we
• 6:16
  were
• 6:16
  always
• 6:16
  the
• 6:17
  kind
• 6:17
  of
• 6:17
  moms
• 6:17
  that
• 6:17
  picked
• 6:18
  up
• 6:18
  after
• 6:18
  them,
• 6:19
  justifying
• 6:19
  that
• 6:19
  we
• 6:19
  just
• 6:20
  wanna
• 6:20
  serve
• 6:20
  our
• 6:20
  family,
• 6:21
  we
• 6:21
  would
• 6:21
  be
• 6:21
  robbing
• 6:22
  our
• 6:22
  kids
• 6:22
  of
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  opportunity
• 6:23
  to
• 6:23
  grow
• 6:23
  in
• 6:23
  character.
• 6:24
  It's
• 6:25
  good
• 6:25
  for
• 6:25
  a
• 6:25
  man
• 6:25
  that
• 6:25
  he
• 6:26
  bear
• 6:26
  the
• 6:26
  yoke
• 6:26
  in
• 6:26
  his
• 6:26
  youth.
• 6:27
  Scripture
• 6:27
  tells
• 6:27
  us
• 6:28
  we
• 6:28
  need
• 6:28
  to
• 6:28
  let
• 6:28
  our
• 6:29
  kids
• 6:29
  contribute
• 6:29
  to
• 6:30
  the
• 6:30
  family
• 6:30
  to
• 6:31
  be
• 6:31
  diligent,
• 6:31
  to
• 6:31
  work
• 6:32
  hard,
• 6:32
  to
• 6:32
  grow
• 6:32
  in
• 6:32
  their
• 6:33
  character.
• 6:33
  Earthly
• 6:34
  parents
• 6:34
  discipline
• 6:35
  their
• 6:35
  children.
• 6:35
  They
• 6:36
  show
• 6:36
  love
• 6:37
  and
• 6:37
  they
• 6:37
  do
• 6:37
  it
• 6:37
  all
• 6:38
  with
• 6:38
  gentleness.
• 6:39
  We
• 6:39
  can
• 6:39
  be
• 6:39
  thankful
• 6:39
  that
• 6:40
  God
• 6:40
  is
• 6:40
  so
• 6:40
  invested
• 6:41
  in
• 6:41
  this
• 6:41
  process
• 6:42
  for
• 6:42
  us
• 6:42
  and
• 6:43
  as
• 6:43
  parents,
• 6:43
  we
• 6:44
  should
• 6:44
  join
• 6:44
  him
• 6:44
  in
• 6:44
  it
• 6:45
  in
• 6:45
  chapter
• 6:46
  37.
• 6:46
  It's
• 6:47
  a
• 6:47
  great
• 6:47
  prelude
• 6:48
  to
• 6:48
  what
• 6:48
  God
• 6:48
  himself
• 6:49
  will
• 6:49
  say
• 6:49
  soon.
• 6:50
  Let's
• 6:50
  get
• 6:50
  a
• 6:50
  taste
• 6:50
  of
• 6:50
  that.
• 6:51
  In
• 6:51
  verse
• 6:51
  one,
• 6:52
  Elihu
• 6:52
  begins
• 6:53
  at
• 6:53
  this.
• 6:53
  Also,
• 6:54
  my
• 6:54
  heart
• 6:54
  trembles
• 6:55
  and
• 6:55
  leaps
• 6:55
  out
• 6:55
  of
• 6:55
  its
• 6:56
  place.
• 6:57
  Keep
• 6:57
  listening
• 6:57
  to
• 6:57
  the
• 6:57
  thunder
• 6:58
  of
• 6:58
  his
• 6:58
  voice
• 6:59
  and
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  rumbling
• 7:00
  that
• 7:00
  comes
• 7:00
  from
• 7:00
  his
• 7:00
  mouth
• 7:01
  under
• 7:01
  the
• 7:01
  whole
• 7:02
  heaven.
• 7:02
  He
• 7:02
  lets
• 7:02
  it
• 7:02
  go
• 7:03
  and
• 7:03
  his
• 7:03
  lightning
• 7:04
  to
• 7:04
  the
• 7:04
  corners
• 7:04
  of
• 7:05
  the
• 7:05
  earth.
• 7:05
  After
• 7:06
  it,
• 7:06
  his
• 7:06
  voice
• 7:06
  roars.
• 7:07
  He
• 7:07
  thunders
• 7:08
  with
• 7:08
  his
• 7:08
  majestic
• 7:09
  voice
• 7:10
  and
• 7:10
  he
• 7:10
  does
• 7:10
  not
• 7:10
  restrain
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  lightnings
• 7:11
  when
• 7:12
  his
• 7:12
  voice
• 7:12
  is
• 7:12
  heard.
• 7:13
  God
• 7:13
  thunders,
• 7:14
  wondrously
• 7:14
  with
• 7:14
  his
• 7:15
  voice.
• 7:15
  He
• 7:15
  does
• 7:16
  great
• 7:16
  things
• 7:16
  that
• 7:16
  we
• 7:17
  cannot
• 7:17
  comprehend
• 7:18
  for.
• 7:18
  To
• 7:18
  the
• 7:18
  snow,
• 7:19
  he
• 7:19
  says,
• 7:19
  fall
• 7:20
  on
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  earth.
• 7:21
  Likewise
• 7:21
  to
• 7:21
  the
• 7:21
  downpour,
• 7:22
  his
• 7:22
  mighty
• 7:23
  downpour,
• 7:24
  he
• 7:24
  seals
• 7:24
  up
• 7:25
  the
• 7:25
  hand
• 7:25
  of
• 7:25
  every
• 7:25
  man
• 7:26
  that
• 7:26
  all
• 7:27
  men
• 7:27
  whom
• 7:27
  he
• 7:28
  made
• 7:28
  may
• 7:28
  know
• 7:28
  it.
• 7:29
  Then
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  beast
• 7:29
  go
• 7:29
  into
• 7:30
  their
• 7:30
  layers
• 7:30
  and
• 7:30
  remain
• 7:31
  in
• 7:31
  their
• 7:31
  dens.
• 7:32
  From
• 7:32
  its
• 7:32
  chamber
• 7:32
  comes
• 7:33
  the
• 7:33
  whirlwind
• 7:34
  and
• 7:34
  cold
• 7:34
  from
• 7:34
  the
• 7:34
  scattering
• 7:35
  winds
• 7:36
  By
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  breath
• 7:36
  of
• 7:36
  God,
• 7:37
  ice
• 7:37
  is
• 7:37
  given
• 7:37
  and
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  broad
• 7:38
  waters
• 7:39
  are
• 7:39
  frozen
• 7:39
  fast.
• 7:40
  He
• 7:41
  loads
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  thick
• 7:41
  cloud
• 7:42
  with
• 7:42
  moisture.
• 7:43
  The
• 7:43
  clouds
• 7:43
  scatter
• 7:44
  his
• 7:44
  lightning.
• 7:44
  They
• 7:45
  turn
• 7:45
  around
• 7:45
  and
• 7:45
  around
• 7:46
  by
• 7:46
  his
• 7:46
  guidance
• 7:47
  to
• 7:47
  accomplish
• 7:48
  all
• 7:48
  that,
• 7:48
  he
• 7:48
  commands
• 7:49
  them
• 7:49
  on
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  face
• 7:50
  of
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  habitable
• 7:50
  world,
• 7:51
  whether
• 7:51
  for
• 7:51
  correction
• 7:52
  or
• 7:52
  for
• 7:53
  his
• 7:53
  land
• 7:53
  or
• 7:54
  for
• 7:54
  love,
• 7:54
  he
• 7:54
  causes
• 7:55
  it
• 7:55
  to
• 7:55
  happen.
• 7:56
  Hear
• 7:56
  this
• 7:57
  o
• 7:57
  Jobb.
• 7:57
  Stop
• 7:58
  and
• 7:58
  consider
• 7:58
  the
• 7:59
  wondrous
• 7:59
  works
• 8:00
  of
• 8:00
  God.
• 8:01
  Lord,
• 8:02
  as
• 8:02
  I
• 8:02
  read
• 8:02
  your
• 8:02
  word
• 8:02
  today,
• 8:03
  I
• 8:03
  can't
• 8:04
  help
• 8:04
  but
• 8:04
  wonder,
• 8:04
  how
• 8:05
  do
• 8:05
  they
• 8:05
  know
• 8:05
  so
• 8:06
  much
• 8:06
  about
• 8:06
  you?
• 8:07
  How
• 8:07
  do
• 8:07
  they
• 8:07
  know
• 8:07
  how
• 8:08
  you
• 8:08
  control
• 8:08
  all
• 8:08
  of
• 8:08
  creation?
• 8:09
  And
• 8:10
  I
• 8:10
  thank
• 8:10
  you
• 8:10
  that
• 8:10
  your
• 8:10
  word
• 8:11
  tells
• 8:11
  us
• 8:11
  that
• 8:11
  you
• 8:12
  are
• 8:12
  a
• 8:12
  God
• 8:12
  who
• 8:12
  makes
• 8:12
  himself
• 8:13
  known
• 8:14
  as
• 8:14
  Paul
• 8:14
  wrote
• 8:14
  in
• 8:14
  Romans
• 8:15
  one,
• 8:15
  for
• 8:16
  what
• 8:16
  can
• 8:16
  be
• 8:16
  known
• 8:16
  about
• 8:17
  you
• 8:17
  is
• 8:17
  plain
• 8:17
  to
• 8:18
  them
• 8:18
  because
• 8:19
  you
• 8:19
  have
• 8:19
  shown
• 8:19
  it
• 8:19
  to
• 8:19
  them
• 8:20
  for
• 8:20
  your
• 8:20
  invisible
• 8:21
  attributes.
• 8:22
  Namely,
• 8:22
  your
• 8:22
  eternal
• 8:23
  power
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  divine
• 8:24
  nature
• 8:25
  have
• 8:25
  been
• 8:25
  clearly
• 8:26
  perceived
• 8:26
  ever
• 8:26
  since
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  creation
• 8:27
  of
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  world
• 8:28
  and
• 8:28
  the
• 8:28
  things
• 8:29
  that
• 8:29
  have
• 8:29
  been
• 8:29
  made.
• 8:30
  So
• 8:30
  we
• 8:30
  are
• 8:30
  without
• 8:31
  excuse
• 8:32
  as
• 8:32
  we
• 8:32
  read
• 8:32
  about
• 8:32
  your
• 8:32
  creation
• 8:33
  and
• 8:33
  your
• 8:33
  might
• 8:34
  and
• 8:34
  your
• 8:34
  power.
• 8:35
  Give
• 8:35
  us
• 8:35
  eyes
• 8:35
  to
• 8:36
  see
• 8:36
  where
• 8:36
  you're
• 8:36
  at.
• 8:36
  Work
• 8:36
  all
• 8:37
  around
• 8:37
  us,
• 8:38
  whether
• 8:38
  it's
• 8:38
  in
• 8:38
  the
• 8:38
  smallest
• 8:39
  of
• 8:39
  creation
• 8:40
  like
• 8:40
  a
• 8:40
  snowflake
• 8:41
  or
• 8:41
  the
• 8:41
  sunsets
• 8:42
  in
• 8:42
  the
• 8:42
  sky.
• 8:43
  Give
• 8:43
  us
• 8:43
  a
• 8:43
  fresh
• 8:44
  perspective
• 8:44
  of
• 8:44
  the
• 8:44
  beauty
• 8:45
  you've
• 8:45
  placed
• 8:45
  around
• 8:45
  us.
• 8:46
  Whether
• 8:46
  it's
• 8:46
  another
• 8:47
  neighborhood,
• 8:47
  walk
• 8:48
  with
• 8:48
  our
• 8:48
  kids,
• 8:49
  or
• 8:49
  a
• 8:49
  daily
• 8:49
  commute
• 8:50
  to
• 8:50
  school.
• 8:51
  Help
• 8:51
  us
• 8:51
  to
• 8:51
  see
• 8:51
  your
• 8:51
  beauty
• 8:52
  and
• 8:52
  majesty
• 8:53
  in
• 8:53
  all
• 8:53
  of
• 8:53
  it.
• 8:54
  Taking
• 8:54
  our
• 8:54
  eyes
• 8:55
  off
• 8:55
  of
• 8:55
  ourselves,
• 8:56
  embracing
• 8:56
  an
• 8:57
  opportunity
• 8:57
  to
• 8:57
  live
• 8:58
  for
• 8:58
  you
• 8:58
  each
• 8:58
  day.
• 8:59
  We
• 8:59
  thank
• 8:59
  you
• 8:59
  that
• 9:00
  everything
• 9:00
  that
• 9:01
  was
• 9:01
  made
• 9:01
  was
• 9:01
  made
• 9:02
  through
• 9:02
  you,
• 9:02
  Jesus,
• 9:03
  and
• 9:03
  we
• 9:03
  praise
• 9:03
  you
• 9:03
  for
• 9:04
  making
• 9:04
  us
• 9:05
  and
• 9:05
  for
• 9:05
  making
• 9:05
  our
• 9:05
  children,
• 9:06
  and
• 9:06
  for
• 9:06
  another
• 9:07
  day
• 9:07
  to
• 9:07
  lift
• 9:08
  up
• 9:08
  your
• 9:09
  name.
• 9:09
  It
• 9:09
  is
• 9:09
  to
• 9:10
  you,
• 9:10
  we
• 9:10
  pray
• 9:10
  amen.
