• 0:00
  Welcome
• 0:00
  to
• 0:00
  the
• 0:01
  Dwelling
• 0:01
  Place.
• 0:02
  With
• 0:02
  all
• 0:02
  you
• 0:02
  have
• 0:02
  going
• 0:03
  on,
• 0:03
  I'm
• 0:03
  so
• 0:04
  thankful
• 0:04
  that
• 0:04
  you're
• 0:04
  still
• 0:04
  choosing
• 0:05
  to
• 0:05
  make
• 0:05
  the
• 0:05
  Lord
• 0:06
  and
• 0:06
  his
• 0:06
  word
• 0:06
  a
• 0:06
  priority.
• 0:07
  I'm
• 0:07
  Stephanie
• 0:07
  Hickox
• 0:08
  from
• 0:08
  Entrusted
• 0:08
  Ministries
• 0:09
  and
• 0:09
  I
• 0:09
  am
• 0:10
  praying
• 0:10
  we
• 0:10
  would
• 0:10
  be
• 0:10
  transformed
• 0:11
  by
• 0:11
  this
• 0:11
  process.
• 0:12
  We're
• 0:12
  gonna
• 0:13
  continue
• 0:13
  in
• 0:13
  the
• 0:13
  Book
• 0:13
  of
• 0:13
  Job,
• 0:14
  and
• 0:14
  we
• 0:14
  only
• 0:14
  have
• 0:15
  a
• 0:15
  few
• 0:15
  more
• 0:15
  days
• 0:15
  in
• 0:15
  this
• 0:16
  book
• 0:16
  of
• 0:16
  the
• 0:16
  Bible
• 0:17
  I
• 0:17
  read
• 0:17
  today
• 0:17
  from
• 0:17
  Mark
• 0:18
  Dever
• 0:18
  that
• 0:19
  the
• 0:19
  theme
• 0:19
  of
• 0:19
  this
• 0:19
  book
• 0:20
  is
• 0:20
  we
• 0:21
  often
• 0:21
  suffer,
• 0:22
  we
• 0:22
  sometimes
• 0:23
  understand,
• 0:23
  we
• 0:24
  can
• 0:24
  always
• 0:24
  trust.
• 0:25
  What
• 0:25
  a
• 0:25
  phenomenal
• 0:26
  summary.
• 0:26
  I'll
• 0:26
  say
• 0:27
  that
• 0:27
  again.
• 0:27
  We
• 0:28
  often
• 0:28
  suffer,
• 0:29
  we
• 0:29
  sometimes
• 0:29
  understand,
• 0:30
  we
• 0:30
  can
• 0:31
  always
• 0:31
  trust.
• 0:32
  And
• 0:32
  the
• 0:32
  reason
• 0:32
  we
• 0:33
  can
• 0:33
  trust
• 0:33
  is
• 0:33
  that
• 0:34
  we
• 0:34
  serve
• 0:34
  an
• 0:34
  all
• 0:34
  wise,
• 0:35
  all
• 0:35
  powerful
• 0:36
  God.
• 0:36
  Today
• 0:37
  we'll
• 0:37
  hear
• 0:37
  some
• 0:37
  lengthy
• 0:38
  speeches
• 0:38
  from
• 0:38
  Job
• 0:39
  that
• 0:39
  elevate
• 0:39
  the
• 0:39
  wisdom
• 0:40
  of
• 0:40
  God
• 0:40
  Above
• 0:40
  all
• 0:41
  else,
• 0:41
  he
• 0:41
  says,
• 0:42
  we
• 0:42
  can't
• 0:42
  really
• 0:43
  know
• 0:43
  the
• 0:43
  mind
• 0:43
  of
• 0:43
  God
• 0:44
  for
• 0:44
  he
• 0:44
  alone
• 0:45
  is
• 0:45
  wise.
• 0:46
  I
• 0:46
  really
• 0:46
  like
• 0:46
  this
• 0:46
  definition
• 0:47
  of
• 0:47
  wisdom
• 0:47
  from
• 0:48
  the
• 0:48
  W
• 0:48
  Cliff
• 0:48
  Bible
• 0:48
  commentary.
• 0:49
  A
• 0:49
  man
• 0:50
  begins
• 0:50
  to
• 0:50
  be
• 0:50
  wise
• 0:51
  when
• 0:51
  he
• 0:51
  ceases
• 0:52
  to
• 0:52
  strive
• 0:52
  for
• 0:53
  wisdom
• 0:53
  independently
• 0:54
  of
• 0:54
  God
• 0:54
  and
• 0:54
  his
• 0:55
  own
• 0:55
  power.
• 0:55
  I
• 0:55
  agree
• 0:56
  that
• 0:56
  humility
• 0:56
  is
• 0:57
  part
• 0:57
  of
• 0:57
  the
• 0:57
  process
• 0:57
  of
• 0:57
  learning
• 0:58
  anything,
• 0:58
  but
• 0:59
  particularly
• 0:59
  to
• 0:59
  walking
• 1:00
  in
• 1:00
  wisdom.
• 1:01
  When
• 1:01
  I
• 1:01
  read
• 1:01
  this
• 1:01
  next
• 1:01
  part
• 1:02
  in
• 1:02
  my
• 1:02
  Moody
• 1:02
  commentary,
• 1:03
  I
• 1:03
  felt
• 1:03
  a
• 1:03
  little
• 1:04
  bit
• 1:04
  naive,
• 1:04
  but
• 1:05
  it
• 1:05
  says
• 1:05
  that
• 1:05
  Chapter
• 1:05
  28
• 1:06
  is
• 1:06
  the
• 1:06
  literary
• 1:07
  and
• 1:07
  theological
• 1:08
  heart
• 1:08
  of
• 1:08
  the
• 1:08
  book.
• 1:09
  Hmm.
• 1:09
  It
• 1:10
  made
• 1:10
  me
• 1:10
  feel
• 1:10
  a
• 1:10
  little
• 1:10
  foolish,
• 1:11
  like,
• 1:11
  how
• 1:11
  did
• 1:12
  I
• 1:12
  miss
• 1:12
  that?
• 1:12
  But
• 1:13
  also
• 1:13
  the
• 1:13
  book
• 1:13
  ends
• 1:14
  with
• 1:14
  like
• 1:14
  four
• 1:14
  chapters
• 1:15
  of
• 1:15
  God
• 1:15
  talking,
• 1:16
  so
• 1:16
  I've
• 1:17
  obviously
• 1:17
  always
• 1:18
  thought
• 1:18
  that
• 1:18
  that
• 1:18
  was
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  highlight.
• 1:19
  Reading
• 1:20
  their
• 1:20
  thoughts
• 1:20
  on
• 1:20
  it
• 1:20
  made
• 1:20
  me
• 1:21
  press
• 1:21
  in
• 1:21
  a
• 1:21
  little
• 1:21
  bit
• 1:22
  to
• 1:22
  the
• 1:22
  reason
• 1:22
  that
• 1:22
  this
• 1:23
  chapter
• 1:23
  is
• 1:23
  elevated
• 1:24
  as
• 1:24
  being
• 1:24
  so
• 1:24
  pivotal,
• 1:25
  and
• 1:25
  I
• 1:25
  think
• 1:25
  that
• 1:26
  they
• 1:26
  would
• 1:26
  all
• 1:26
  say
• 1:26
  that
• 1:27
  this
• 1:27
  chapter
• 1:27
  summarizes
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  entire
• 1:29
  book
• 1:29
  of
• 1:29
  job.
• 1:30
  The
• 1:30
  first
• 1:30
  portion
• 1:30
  describes
• 1:31
  how
• 1:31
  amazing
• 1:32
  humans
• 1:32
  can
• 1:32
  be,
• 1:32
  how
• 1:33
  hard
• 1:33
  they'll
• 1:33
  work,
• 1:34
  the
• 1:34
  dangerous
• 1:34
  things
• 1:35
  that
• 1:35
  they'll
• 1:35
  do
• 1:36
  to
• 1:36
  find
• 1:36
  a
• 1:36
  way
• 1:36
  to
• 1:37
  get
• 1:37
  something
• 1:37
  that's
• 1:38
  valuable
• 1:38
  or
• 1:38
  to
• 1:38
  conquer
• 1:39
  a
• 1:39
  feet.
• 1:39
  But
• 1:39
  as
• 1:40
  amazing
• 1:40
  as
• 1:40
  humans
• 1:41
  can
• 1:41
  be,
• 1:41
  they
• 1:41
  cannot
• 1:42
  find
• 1:42
  wisdom
• 1:43
  in
• 1:43
  and
• 1:43
  of
• 1:43
  themselves.
• 1:44
  It's
• 1:44
  from
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  hand
• 1:45
  of
• 1:45
  God,
• 1:45
  even
• 1:45
  though
• 1:46
  Job
• 1:46
  and
• 1:46
  his
• 1:46
  friends
• 1:46
  have
• 1:47
  sought
• 1:47
  to
• 1:47
  understand
• 1:47
  God
• 1:48
  throughout
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  book,
• 1:49
  here
• 1:49
  we
• 1:49
  are
• 1:50
  28
• 1:50
  chapters
• 1:51
  in
• 1:51
  and
• 1:51
  we're
• 1:51
  at
• 1:52
  a
• 1:52
  stalemate.
• 1:52
  They've
• 1:53
  not
• 1:53
  reached
• 1:53
  an
• 1:53
  agreement
• 1:54
  and
• 1:54
  they
• 1:54
  still
• 1:54
  haven't
• 1:55
  uncovered
• 1:55
  the
• 1:56
  real
• 1:56
  reason
• 1:56
  for
• 1:56
  job's
• 1:57
  suffering.
• 1:57
  Let
• 1:57
  me
• 1:58
  read
• 1:58
  you
• 1:58
  a
• 1:58
  portion
• 1:58
  from
• 1:59
  chapter
• 1:59
  28,
• 2:00
  beginning
• 2:00
  in
• 2:00
  verse
• 2:01
  12,
• 2:01
  describing
• 2:02
  the
• 2:02
  wisdom
• 2:02
  of
• 2:02
  God.
• 2:03
  But
• 2:03
  where
• 2:03
  shall
• 2:04
  wisdom
• 2:04
  be
• 2:04
  found
• 2:05
  and
• 2:05
  where
• 2:05
  is
• 2:05
  the
• 2:05
  place
• 2:06
  of
• 2:06
  understanding
• 2:07
  man
• 2:07
  does
• 2:07
  not
• 2:07
  know
• 2:08
  it's
• 2:08
  worth
• 2:08
  and
• 2:08
  it
• 2:09
  is
• 2:09
  not
• 2:09
  found
• 2:09
  in
• 2:09
  the
• 2:09
  land
• 2:10
  of
• 2:10
  the
• 2:10
  living.
• 2:11
  The
• 2:11
  deep
• 2:11
  says,
• 2:12
  it
• 2:12
  is
• 2:12
  not
• 2:12
  in
• 2:12
  me,
• 2:13
  and
• 2:13
  the
• 2:13
  sea
• 2:13
  says,
• 2:14
  it
• 2:14
  is
• 2:15
  not
• 2:15
  with
• 2:15
  me.
• 2:16
  It
• 2:16
  cannot
• 2:16
  be
• 2:16
  bought
• 2:16
  for
• 2:17
  gold
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  silver
• 2:18
  cannot
• 2:18
  be
• 2:18
  weighed
• 2:19
  as
• 2:19
  its
• 2:19
  price.
• 2:20
  It
• 2:20
  cannot
• 2:20
  be
• 2:20
  valued
• 2:21
  in
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  gold
• 2:21
  of
• 2:21
  aur.
• 2:22
  In
• 2:22
  precious
• 2:23
  onyx
• 2:23
  or
• 2:23
  sapphire,
• 2:24
  gold
• 2:24
  and
• 2:25
  glass
• 2:25
  cannot
• 2:25
  equal
• 2:26
  it,
• 2:26
  nor
• 2:26
  can
• 2:27
  it
• 2:27
  be
• 2:27
  exchanged
• 2:27
  for
• 2:27
  jewels
• 2:28
  of
• 2:28
  fine
• 2:28
  gold.
• 2:29
  No
• 2:29
  mention
• 2:30
  shall
• 2:30
  be
• 2:30
  made
• 2:30
  of
• 2:30
  coral
• 2:31
  or
• 2:31
  of
• 2:31
  crystal.
• 2:32
  The
• 2:32
  price
• 2:33
  of
• 2:33
  wisdom
• 2:33
  is
• 2:34
  far
• 2:34
  above
• 2:34
  pearls.
• 2:35
  The
• 2:35
  topaz
• 2:36
  of
• 2:36
  Ethiopia
• 2:36
  cannot
• 2:37
  equal
• 2:37
  it,
• 2:38
  nor
• 2:38
  can
• 2:38
  it
• 2:38
  be
• 2:38
  valued
• 2:39
  in
• 2:39
  pure
• 2:39
  gold.
• 2:40
  From
• 2:40
  where
• 2:40
  then
• 2:40
  does
• 2:41
  wisdom
• 2:41
  come
• 2:42
  and
• 2:42
  where
• 2:42
  is
• 2:42
  the
• 2:42
  place
• 2:43
  of
• 2:43
  understanding?
• 2:44
  It
• 2:44
  is
• 2:44
  hidden
• 2:44
  from
• 2:44
  the
• 2:44
  eyes
• 2:45
  of
• 2:45
  all
• 2:45
  living
• 2:46
  and
• 2:46
  concealed
• 2:46
  from
• 2:47
  the
• 2:47
  birds
• 2:47
  of
• 2:47
  the
• 2:47
  air.
• 2:48
  Abbadon
• 2:48
  and
• 2:48
  death
• 2:49
  say,
• 2:49
  we
• 2:49
  have
• 2:49
  heard
• 2:50
  a
• 2:50
  rumor
• 2:50
  of
• 2:50
  it
• 2:50
  with
• 2:50
  our
• 2:51
  ears.
• 2:51
  God
• 2:52
  understands
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  way
• 2:52
  to
• 2:53
  it
• 2:53
  and
• 2:53
  he
• 2:53
  knows
• 2:54
  its
• 2:54
  place
• 2:55
  for
• 2:55
  he
• 2:55
  looks
• 2:55
  to
• 2:55
  the
• 2:56
  end
• 2:56
  of
• 2:56
  the
• 2:56
  earth
• 2:57
  and
• 2:57
  sees
• 2:57
  everything
• 2:58
  under
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  heavens
• 2:59
  When
• 2:59
  he
• 2:59
  gave
• 2:59
  to
• 2:59
  the
• 3:00
  wind
• 3:00
  its
• 3:00
  weight
• 3:00
  and
• 3:01
  apportioned
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  waters
• 3:02
  by
• 3:02
  measure,
• 3:03
  when
• 3:03
  he
• 3:03
  made
• 3:03
  a
• 3:03
  decree
• 3:04
  for
• 3:04
  the
• 3:04
  rain
• 3:04
  and
• 3:04
  away
• 3:05
  for
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  lightning
• 3:05
  of
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  thunder,
• 3:06
  then
• 3:07
  he
• 3:07
  saw
• 3:07
  it
• 3:07
  and
• 3:07
  declared
• 3:08
  it.
• 3:08
  He
• 3:08
  established
• 3:09
  it
• 3:09
  and
• 3:09
  searched
• 3:10
  it
• 3:10
  out,
• 3:10
  and
• 3:10
  he
• 3:10
  said
• 3:11
  to
• 3:11
  man,
• 3:11
  behold,
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  fear
• 3:13
  of
• 3:13
  the
• 3:13
  Lord
• 3:13
  that
• 3:14
  is
• 3:14
  wisdom
• 3:14
  and
• 3:15
  to
• 3:15
  turn
• 3:15
  away
• 3:15
  from
• 3:16
  evil
• 3:16
  is
• 3:17
  understanding.
• 3:18
  Jesus
• 3:18
  affirmed
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  value
• 3:19
  of
• 3:19
  wisdom
• 3:20
  and
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  kingdom
• 3:20
  of
• 3:20
  heaven.
• 3:21
  In
• 3:21
  Matthew
• 3:22
  13,
• 3:22
  verse
• 3:23
  44,
• 3:24
  Jesus
• 3:24
  begins,
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  kingdom
• 3:25
  of
• 3:25
  heaven
• 3:26
  is
• 3:26
  like
• 3:26
  treasure
• 3:27
  hidden
• 3:27
  in
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  field
• 3:28
  which
• 3:28
  a
• 3:28
  man
• 3:28
  found
• 3:29
  and
• 3:29
  covered
• 3:29
  up
• 3:30
  then
• 3:30
  in
• 3:30
  his
• 3:31
  joy.
• 3:31
  He
• 3:31
  goes
• 3:32
  and
• 3:32
  sells
• 3:32
  all
• 3:32
  that
• 3:33
  he
• 3:33
  has
• 3:33
  and
• 3:33
  buys
• 3:34
  that
• 3:34
  field
• 3:35
  again.
• 3:35
  The
• 3:35
  kingdom
• 3:36
  of
• 3:36
  Heaven
• 3:36
  is
• 3:36
  like
• 3:37
  a
• 3:37
  merchant
• 3:37
  in
• 3:37
  search
• 3:37
  of
• 3:38
  fine
• 3:38
  pearls,
• 3:39
  who
• 3:39
  on
• 3:39
  finding
• 3:39
  one
• 3:40
  piece
• 3:40
  of
• 3:40
  great
• 3:40
  value,
• 3:41
  went
• 3:41
  and
• 3:41
  sold
• 3:42
  all
• 3:42
  that
• 3:42
  he
• 3:42
  had
• 3:43
  and
• 3:43
  bought
• 3:43
  it.
• 3:44
  Scripture
• 3:44
  tells
• 3:45
  us
• 3:45
  exactly
• 3:45
  what
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  beginning
• 3:46
  of
• 3:46
  wisdom
• 3:46
  is
• 3:47
  in
• 3:47
  Psalm
• 3:47
  1
• 3:48
  11
• 3:48
  10.
• 3:49
  The
• 3:49
  fear
• 3:49
  of
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  Lord
• 3:50
  is
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  beginning
• 3:51
  of
• 3:51
  wisdom.
• 3:51
  All
• 3:52
  those
• 3:52
  who
• 3:52
  practice
• 3:52
  it
• 3:53
  have
• 3:53
  a
• 3:53
  good
• 3:53
  understanding.
• 3:54
  In
• 3:54
  Proverbs
• 3:55
  one,
• 3:55
  seven,
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  fear
• 3:56
  of
• 3:56
  the
• 3:57
  Lord
• 3:57
  is
• 3:57
  the
• 3:57
  beginning
• 3:57
  of
• 3:57
  knowledge.
• 3:58
  Fools
• 3:59
  despise
• 3:59
  wisdom
• 4:00
  and
• 4:00
  instruction,
• 4:01
  and
• 4:01
  the
• 4:01
  entire
• 4:01
  book
• 4:01
  of
• 4:02
  Ecclesiastes
• 4:02
  ends
• 4:03
  with

  chapter

  12,

  with

  the

  of

  the

  matter,
• 4:07
  all
• 4:07
  has

  been

  heard.
• 4:09
  Fear
• 4:09
  God
• 4:09
  and
• 4:09
  keep
• 4:09
  his
• 4:10
  commandments
• 4:11
  for
• 4:11
  this
• 4:11
  is
• 4:11
  the
• 4:11
  whole
• 4:12
  duty
• 4:12
  of
• 4:12
  man.
• 4:13
  For
• 4:13
  God
• 4:13
  will
• 4:13
  bring
• 4:14
  every
• 4:14
  deed
• 4:14
  into
• 4:14
  judgment
• 4:15
  with
• 4:15
  every
• 4:16
  secret
• 4:16
  thing,
• 4:16
  whether
• 4:17
  good
• 4:17
  or
• 4:17
  evil.
• 4:18
  Repeatedly
• 4:19
  we
• 4:19
  hear
• 4:19
  the
• 4:19
  fear
• 4:19
  of
• 4:19
  the
• 4:20
  Lord
• 4:20
  is
• 4:20
  the
• 4:20
  beginning
• 4:20
  of
• 4:21
  wisdom.
• 4:21
  This
• 4:21
  is
• 4:22
  a
• 4:22
  concept
• 4:22
  we
• 4:22
  can
• 4:22
  more
• 4:23
  easily
• 4:23
  grasp
• 4:23
  as
• 4:24
  adults,
• 4:24
  but
• 4:24
  how
• 4:25
  do
• 4:25
  you
• 4:25
  teach
• 4:25
  about
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  fear
• 4:26
  of
• 4:26
  the
• 4:26
  Lord
• 4:26
  with
• 4:26
  young
• 4:26
  children?
• 4:27
  I
• 4:27
  love
• 4:27
  the
• 4:28
  analogy
• 4:28
  that
• 4:28
  Betsy,
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  founder
• 4:29
  of
• 4:29
  Entrusted
• 4:30
  Ministries,
• 4:30
  uses
• 4:30
  to
• 4:30
  explain
• 4:31
  it.
• 4:31
  She
• 4:31
  says,
• 4:31
  it's
• 4:32
  like
• 4:32
  the
• 4:32
  ocean,
• 4:33
  that
• 4:33
  when
• 4:33
  you
• 4:33
  stand
• 4:34
  and
• 4:34
  you
• 4:34
  see
• 4:34
  the
• 4:34
  powerful
• 4:35
  waves
• 4:35
  and
• 4:35
  the
• 4:35
  tide
• 4:36
  rolling
• 4:36
  in,
• 4:36
  you
• 4:37
  have
• 4:37
  a
• 4:37
  healthy
• 4:37
  reverence
• 4:38
  for
• 4:38
  it.
• 4:38
  You
• 4:38
  know
• 4:39
  how
• 4:39
  powerful
• 4:39
  it
• 4:40
  is.
• 4:40
  You
• 4:40
  understand
• 4:41
  how
• 4:41
  vast
• 4:41
  it
• 4:42
  is.
• 4:42
  And
• 4:42
  wisdom
• 4:43
  is
• 4:43
  required
• 4:43
  to
• 4:43
  be
• 4:44
  safe
• 4:44
  near
• 4:44
  it,
• 4:45
  but
• 4:45
  we
• 4:45
  can
• 4:45
  also
• 4:45
  think
• 4:45
  of
• 4:45
  the
• 4:46
  joy
• 4:46
  that
• 4:46
  we
• 4:46
  have
• 4:46
  near
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  ocean.
• 4:47
  That
• 4:48
  healthy
• 4:48
  fear
• 4:48
  that
• 4:49
  makes
• 4:49
  us
• 4:49
  interact
• 4:49
  with
• 4:50
  it
• 4:50
  wisely,
• 4:50
  but
• 4:51
  it
• 4:51
  shouldn't
• 4:51
  prevent
• 4:51
  us
• 4:52
  from
• 4:52
  drawing
• 4:52
  near
• 4:52
  and
• 4:53
  enjoying
• 4:53
  its
• 4:53
  blessings.
• 4:54
  Just
• 4:54
  as
• 4:54
  we
• 4:54
  need
• 4:55
  water
• 4:55
  to
• 4:55
  live,
• 4:55
  we
• 4:56
  need
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  Lord.
• 4:56
  When
• 4:57
  our
• 4:57
  fears
• 4:57
  are
• 4:57
  rightly
• 4:58
  ordered,
• 4:58
  we
• 4:59
  realize
• 4:59
  that
• 5:00
  actually
• 5:00
  his
• 5:00
  presence
• 5:01
  brings
• 5:01
  peace.
• 5:02
  Proverbs
• 5:02
  31
• 5:03
  is
• 5:03
  a
• 5:03
  well-known
• 5:03
  chapter
• 5:04
  to
• 5:04
  talk
• 5:04
  about
• 5:04
  what
• 5:04
  a
• 5:04
  godly
• 5:05
  woman
• 5:05
  looks
• 5:05
  like,
• 5:06
  but
• 5:06
  I
• 5:06
  recently
• 5:06
  heard
• 5:07
  that
• 5:07
  my
• 5:07
  Uncle
• 5:07
  David
• 5:08
  uses
• 5:08
  Job
• 5:09
  31
• 5:09
  as
• 5:09
  he's
• 5:09
  discipling
• 5:10
  men.
• 5:10
  In
• 5:11
  this
• 5:11
  chapter,
• 5:11
  we
• 5:11
  see
• 5:11
  a
• 5:11
  series
• 5:12
  of
• 5:12
  if
• 5:13
  then
• 5:13
  statements
• 5:14
  as
• 5:14
  we
• 5:14
  continue
• 5:15
  job
• 5:15
  talking
• 5:15
  about
• 5:15
  how
• 5:16
  he's
• 5:16
  innocent,
• 5:16
  as
• 5:16
  if
• 5:17
  in
• 5:17
  a
• 5:17
  court
• 5:17
  of
• 5:17
  law.
• 5:18
  This
• 5:18
  was
• 5:18
  actually
• 5:18
  a
• 5:19
  protocol
• 5:19
  at
• 5:19
  that
• 5:19
  time
• 5:20
  and
• 5:20
  a
• 5:20
  common
• 5:20
  procedure
• 5:21
  for
• 5:21
  court
• 5:21
  to
• 5:22
  give
• 5:22
  these
• 5:22
  if
• 5:22
  then
• 5:23
  statements
• 5:23
  as
• 5:24
  oaths.
• 5:24
  He's
• 5:25
  claiming
• 5:25
  his
• 5:25
  innocence
• 5:26
  in
• 5:26
  many
• 5:26
  ways.
• 5:27
  Initially.
• 5:27
  He
• 5:27
  talks
• 5:28
  about
• 5:28
  his
• 5:28
  purity
• 5:29
  and
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  purity
• 5:29
  of
• 5:29
  his
• 5:29
  eyes
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  honor
• 5:30
  his
• 5:30
  covenant.
• 5:31
  He
• 5:31
  goes
• 5:31
  on
• 5:32
  to
• 5:32
  say
• 5:32
  he
• 5:32
  has
• 5:32
  not
• 5:32
  lied
• 5:33
  or
• 5:33
  deceived
• 5:34
  next.
• 5:34
  He
• 5:34
  has
• 5:35
  not
• 5:35
  been
• 5:35
  enticed
• 5:35
  by
• 5:36
  a
• 5:36
  woman
• 5:36
  or
• 5:37
  been
• 5:37
  unfaithful
• 5:37
  to
• 5:37
  his
• 5:38
  wife,
• 5:38
  then
• 5:38
  he
• 5:39
  has
• 5:39
  not
• 5:39
  treated
• 5:39
  his
• 5:39
  servants
• 5:40
  unfairly
• 5:41
  knowing
• 5:41
  that
• 5:41
  they
• 5:41
  were
• 5:42
  also
• 5:43
  knit
• 5:43
  together
• 5:43
  by
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  Lord.
• 5:44
  He
• 5:44
  rebukes
• 5:45
  materialism
• 5:46
  as
• 5:46
  he
• 5:46
  states
• 5:46
  that
• 5:47
  he
• 5:47
  has
• 5:47
  not
• 5:47
  made
• 5:47
  gold
• 5:48
  his
• 5:48
  trust,
• 5:48
  and
• 5:49
  then
• 5:49
  he
• 5:49
  has
• 5:49
  not
• 5:49
  rejoiced
• 5:50
  at
• 5:50
  his
• 5:50
  enemy's
• 5:51
  ruin
• 5:51
  or
• 5:51
  concealed
• 5:52
  transgression
• 5:52
  in
• 5:52
  his
• 5:52
  heart.
• 5:53
  And
• 5:53
  finally,
• 5:54
  that
• 5:54
  he
• 5:54
  has
• 5:54
  been
• 5:55
  honest.
• 5:55
  In
• 5:55
  all
• 5:56
  of
• 5:56
  his
• 5:56
  business
• 5:56
  dealings.
• 5:57
  If
• 5:57
  you're
• 5:58
  raising
• 5:58
  young
• 5:58
  men,
• 5:59
  this
• 5:59
  might
• 5:59
  be
• 5:59
  a
• 5:59
  great
• 6:00
  passage
• 6:00
  to
• 6:01
  look
• 6:01
  at
• 6:01
  and
• 6:01
  think
• 6:01
  about
• 6:02
  what
• 6:02
  would
• 6:02
  be
• 6:02
  some
• 6:02
  modern
• 6:03
  parallels,
• 6:04
  as
• 6:04
  I
• 6:04
  mentioned
• 6:04
  yesterday,
• 6:05
  we
• 6:06
  should
• 6:06
  be
• 6:06
  transformed
• 6:07
  when
• 6:07
  we
• 6:07
  read
• 6:07
  God's
• 6:08
  word
• 6:08
  to
• 6:08
  love
• 6:08
  others.
• 6:09
  That
• 6:09
  idea
• 6:10
  is
• 6:10
  affirmed
• 6:10
  throughout
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  Bible.
• 6:11
  Interestingly,
• 6:12
  in
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  ancient
• 6:13
  Eastern
• 6:13
  world,
• 6:14
  this
• 6:14
  is
• 6:14
  actually
• 6:14
  how
• 6:15
  they
• 6:15
  measured
• 6:15
  someone's
• 6:15
  virtue.
• 6:16
  It
• 6:16
  was
• 6:16
  their
• 6:17
  treatment
• 6:17
  of
• 6:17
  the
• 6:17
  weakest
• 6:18
  and
• 6:18
  most
• 6:18
  vulnerable
• 6:19
  people
• 6:19
  in
• 6:19
  society.
• 6:20
  God
• 6:20
  deeply
• 6:20
  cares
• 6:21
  that
• 6:21
  we
• 6:21
  have
• 6:21
  eyes
• 6:21
  to
• 6:21
  see
• 6:22
  those
• 6:22
  around
• 6:22
  us.
• 6:23
  And
• 6:23
  in
• 6:23
  chapter
• 6:23
  29
• 6:24
  and
• 6:24
  30.
• 6:24
  Job
• 6:25
  tells
• 6:25
  us
• 6:25
  that
• 6:25
  he
• 6:25
  went
• 6:26
  beyond
• 6:26
  the
• 6:26
  standards
• 6:27
  that
• 6:27
  were
• 6:27
  required
• 6:28
  of
• 6:28
  him
• 6:28
  to
• 6:28
  honor
• 6:28
  those
• 6:29
  that
• 6:29
  society
• 6:29
  often
• 6:30
  forgets,
• 6:30
  whether
• 6:31
  it's
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  fatherless,
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  widows,
• 6:33
  the
• 6:33
  orphans,
• 6:34
  the
• 6:34
  poor,
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  disabled,
• 6:36
  those
• 6:36
  sick
• 6:37
  and
• 6:37
  near
• 6:37
  death.
• 6:37
  It's
• 6:38
  possible
• 6:38
  that
• 6:39
  some
• 6:39
  of
• 6:39
  these
• 6:39
  activities
• 6:40
  that
• 6:40
  job
• 6:40
  did
• 6:40
  were
• 6:41
  indicative
• 6:41
  that
• 6:41
  he
• 6:41
  was
• 6:42
  the
• 6:42
  mayor
• 6:42
  of
• 6:42
  his
• 6:43
  area.
• 6:43
  In
• 6:43
  any
• 6:44
  case,
• 6:44
  job
• 6:44
  rightly
• 6:45
  understood
• 6:45
  that
• 6:45
  righteousness
• 6:46
  is
• 6:47
  tied
• 6:47
  to
• 6:47
  how
• 6:47
  we
• 6:48
  rightly
• 6:48
  treat
• 6:48
  those
• 6:49
  made
• 6:49
  in
• 6:49
  the
• 6:49
  image
• 6:50
  of
• 6:50
  God.
• 6:50
  If
• 6:51
  we
• 6:51
  ever
• 6:51
  think
• 6:51
  that
• 6:51
  God's
• 6:52
  goal
• 6:52
  is
• 6:52
  just
• 6:52
  holiness
• 6:53
  in
• 6:53
  our
• 6:53
  homes,
• 6:54
  forgive
• 6:54
  us
• 6:54
  Lord,
• 6:55
  let's
• 6:55
  look
• 6:55
  outward
• 6:56
  and
• 6:56
  teach
• 6:56
  our
• 6:56
  children
• 6:56
  to
• 6:56
  do
• 6:57
  the
• 6:57
  same.
• 6:58
  Not
• 6:58
  only
• 6:58
  does
• 6:58
  job
• 6:59
  feel
• 6:59
  abandoned
• 6:59
  by
• 6:59
  his
• 7:00
  friends
• 7:00
  and
• 7:00
  by
• 7:00
  all
• 7:01
  else
• 7:01
  in
• 7:01
  his
• 7:01
  life,
• 7:02
  he
• 7:02
  feels
• 7:02
  abandoned
• 7:03
  by
• 7:03
  God
• 7:03
  right
• 7:03
  now.
• 7:04
  I've
• 7:04
  had
• 7:04
  moments
• 7:05
  I've
• 7:05
  needed
• 7:05
  to
• 7:05
  wrestle
• 7:05
  through
• 7:05
  that
• 7:06
  feeling
• 7:06
  as
• 7:06
  well.
• 7:07
  In
• 7:07
  one
• 7:07
  particular
• 7:07
  instance,
• 7:08
  I
• 7:08
  had
• 7:09
  a
• 7:09
  baby
• 7:09
  on
• 7:09
  an
• 7:09
  ambulance
• 7:10
  stretcher,
• 7:10
  and
• 7:11
  instead
• 7:11
  of
• 7:11
  my
• 7:11
  medical
• 7:11
  team
• 7:12
  coming
• 7:12
  with
• 7:12
  me
• 7:12
  as
• 7:13
  they
• 7:13
  had
• 7:13
  promised
• 7:13
  they
• 7:13
  would,
• 7:14
  they
• 7:14
  left
• 7:15
  at
• 7:16
  the
• 7:16
  time.
• 7:16
  It
• 7:16
  felt
• 7:17
  so
• 7:17
  painful
• 7:17
  that
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  was
• 7:18
  abandoned
• 7:18
  by
• 7:19
  these
• 7:19
  people
• 7:19
  that
• 7:19
  I
• 7:19
  had
• 7:19
  trusted.
• 7:20
  But
• 7:20
  as
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  Lord
• 7:21
  helped
• 7:21
  me
• 7:21
  process
• 7:21
  it,
• 7:22
  he
• 7:22
  showed
• 7:22
  me
• 7:22
  that
• 7:22
  he
• 7:23
  was
• 7:23
  with
• 7:23
  me
• 7:23
  every
• 7:24
  step
• 7:24
  of
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  way,
• 7:24
  even
• 7:25
  though
• 7:25
  I
• 7:25
  couldn't
• 7:25
  sense
• 7:25
  it
• 7:26
  at
• 7:26
  the
• 7:26
  time.
• 7:26
  I
• 7:26
  hope
• 7:27
  that
• 7:27
  whatever
• 7:27
  you're
• 7:27
  going
• 7:28
  through
• 7:28
  right
• 7:28
  now,
• 7:28
  and
• 7:29
  even
• 7:29
  if
• 7:29
  you
• 7:29
  don't
• 7:29
  feel
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  nearness
• 7:30
  of
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  Lord,
• 7:31
  that
• 7:31
  you
• 7:31
  can
• 7:31
  persevere
• 7:32
  knowing
• 7:33
  that
• 7:33
  he
• 7:33
  is
• 7:34
  Wise,
• 7:35
  in
• 7:35
  perfect
• 7:35
  Heavenly
• 7:35
  Father,
• 7:36
  we're
• 7:36
  grateful
• 7:37
  for
• 7:37
  your
• 7:37
  nearness,
• 7:38
  but
• 7:38
  we
• 7:38
  also
• 7:39
  ask
• 7:39
  that
• 7:39
  you
• 7:39
  would
• 7:39
  help
• 7:40
  us
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  understand
• 7:40
  your
• 7:40
  holiness
• 7:41
  and
• 7:42
  that
• 7:42
  we
• 7:42
  would
• 7:42
  revere
• 7:42
  you
• 7:43
  with
• 7:43
  all
• 7:43
  that
• 7:43
  we
• 7:43
  are,
• 7:44
  help
• 7:44
  us
• 7:44
  not
• 7:45
  to
• 7:45
  take
• 7:45
  for
• 7:45
  granted
• 7:46
  your
• 7:46
  availability
• 7:47
  that
• 7:47
  every
• 7:47
  time
• 7:47
  we
• 7:48
  open
• 7:48
  our
• 7:48
  mouths
• 7:48
  or
• 7:49
  our
• 7:49
  hearts
• 7:49
  to
• 7:49
  pray
• 7:50
  that
• 7:50
  you
• 7:50
  hear
• 7:51
  us.
• 7:51
  I
• 7:52
  ask
• 7:52
  that
• 7:52
  we
• 7:52
  would
• 7:52
  have
• 7:52
  eyes
• 7:53
  to
• 7:53
  see
• 7:54
  those
• 7:54
  we
• 7:54
  can
• 7:54
  serve
• 7:55
  and
• 7:55
  that
• 7:55
  we
• 7:55
  could
• 7:55
  model
• 7:56
  this
• 7:56
  for
• 7:56
  our
• 7:56
  kids.
• 7:57
  When
• 7:57
  we
• 7:57
  have
• 7:57
  extra
• 7:58
  financially,
• 7:59
  may
• 7:59
  we
• 7:59
  think
• 7:59
  of
• 7:59
  who
• 8:00
  we
• 8:00
  can
• 8:00
  bless
• 8:00
  over
• 8:00
  how
• 8:01
  we
• 8:01
  could
• 8:01
  spend
• 8:02
  as
• 8:02
  job
• 8:02
  said,
• 8:03
  I
• 8:03
  did
• 8:03
  not
• 8:03
  eat
• 8:03
  my
• 8:03
  food
• 8:04
  alone.
• 8:04
  And
• 8:04
  if
• 8:04
  there
• 8:05
  are
• 8:05
  those
• 8:05
  that
• 8:05
  would
• 8:05
  be
• 8:05
  blessed
• 8:06
  by
• 8:06
  us
• 8:06
  opening
• 8:06
  our
• 8:07
  homes
• 8:07
  for
• 8:07
  a
• 8:07
  meal
• 8:08
  or
• 8:08
  by
• 8:08
  sharing
• 8:08
  our
• 8:08
  provision,
• 8:09
  lord
• 8:09
  give
• 8:10
  us
• 8:10
  capacity
• 8:10
  to
• 8:10
  be
• 8:11
  hospitable
• 8:11
  and
• 8:11
  to
• 8:12
  serve
• 8:12
  others
• 8:12
  even
• 8:13
  though
• 8:13
  we're
• 8:13
  often
• 8:14
  weary
• 8:14
  just
• 8:15
  from
• 8:15
  serving
• 8:15
  our
• 8:16
  own
• 8:16
  families.
• 8:17
  Job
• 8:17
  said,
• 8:17
  I
• 8:18
  searched
• 8:18
  out
• 8:18
  the
• 8:18
  cause
• 8:19
  of
• 8:19
  him
• 8:19
  whom
• 8:20
  I
• 8:20
  did
• 8:20
  not
• 8:20
  know.
• 8:21
  In
• 8:21
  a
• 8:21
  day
• 8:21
  and
• 8:21
  age
• 8:22
  when
• 8:22
  there's
• 8:22
  so
• 8:22
  much
• 8:22
  information
• 8:23
  available
• 8:23
  to
• 8:23
  us
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  so
• 8:24
  many
• 8:24
  causes,
• 8:25
  give
• 8:25
  us
• 8:26
  wisdom
• 8:26
  and
• 8:26
  clarity
• 8:27
  about
• 8:27
  where
• 8:27
  we
• 8:27
  can
• 8:28
  make
• 8:28
  an
• 8:28
  impact
• 8:28
  for
• 8:28
  your
• 8:28
  kingdom.
• 8:29
  May
• 8:29
  we
• 8:30
  not
• 8:30
  be
• 8:30
  pulled
• 8:30
  in
• 8:30
  every
• 8:31
  direction,
• 8:31
  but
• 8:31
  guide
• 8:32
  us
• 8:32
  with
• 8:32
  your
• 8:32
  spirit
• 8:33
  toward
• 8:33
  the
• 8:33
  causes
• 8:34
  where
• 8:34
  you
• 8:34
  desire
• 8:34
  us
• 8:35
  to
• 8:35
  act.
• 8:36
  Help
• 8:36
  us
• 8:36
  to
• 8:36
  mind
• 8:37
  for
• 8:37
  wisdom
• 8:37
  and
• 8:37
  make
• 8:38
  it
• 8:38
  our
• 8:38
  greatest
• 8:38
  treasure.
• 8:39
  I
• 8:39
  particularly
• 8:40
  pray
• 8:41
  for
• 8:41
  the
• 8:41
  young
• 8:41
  men
• 8:42
  that
• 8:42
  they
• 8:42
  would
• 8:42
  follow
• 8:42
  in
• 8:43
  job's,
• 8:43
  steps
• 8:44
  in
• 8:44
  purity
• 8:44
  and
• 8:45
  righteousness,
• 8:45
  generosity
• 8:46
  and
• 8:46
  kindness,
• 8:47
  that
• 8:47
  they
• 8:47
  would
• 8:48
  walk
• 8:48
  up
• 8:48
  rightly
• 8:49
  just
• 8:49
  as
• 8:49
  you
• 8:49
  did
• 8:49
  on
• 8:49
  this
• 8:50
  earth.
• 8:50
  Jesus,
• 8:51
  it's
• 8:51
  in
• 8:51
  your
• 8:51
  name
• 8:51
  that
• 8:52
  we
• 8:52
  pray
• 8:52
  it.
• 8:52
  Amen.
• 8:54
  Speaking

  of

  and

  young

  men

  in

  righteousness,
