Job Part 8 ( Talks to God)

INTRO: Well, how long have we been in this series? This is the eighth month and the eighth message. I cannot seem to get more than one message a month done. Where are we in Job? Well, let me briefly catch us up. We have been dealing with the trials of Job. We saw his trials by circumstances, how he lost all his possessions and then his family. Then we saw his trials by his friends. Three friends came to help fix him up. Job out argued all three friends and they fell silent.

But then another man, a younger man, a man by name of Elihu, spoke up and sought to show Job why he was suffering. That was our last message. So let us read what I see as the crucial verses in his message in 33:16-18 (read). God speaks to men in order to open their ears, and let them know how to live so that man does not do his own thing and pride catches him and casts him in the pit.

Elihu then goes on and deals with the justice of God in the next chapters. When Elihu is done, Job is silent. Man is done instructing man. And it is then, that God Almighty opens His mouth. And so we will see Job undergo trial by God Almighty Himself.
