In today’s OOBT episode, join M as she transitions us from Genesis to the 18th book of the Bible in our chronological Bible reading plan – Yep - You heard that right - #18! Anyway, Job chapter 1 lands us about 400 years post-flood, and we meet a man named (you guessed it) Job.
Initially, Job sounds a whole lot like Noah -- he’s blameless and upright and fears God. In Noah’s story, things got really dark, then there was some relief at the end, and we’ll see the same type of thing playing out in Job’s story, but not before we witness a heavenly courtroom scene vaguely reminiscent of episodes from the Law and Order franchise (some of M’s favorites to watch!) that results in such devastating losses in Job’s life that he is often said to foreshadow Jesus and his suffering on the cross.
// Show Notes //
What have you learned from Job's initial response in Job 1 that challenges you to still be grateful to God in times of suffering?
What are your thoughts about a God who gives and
takes away without explanation?
Be sure to process these questions in prayer and journaling, because what we believe about God in our times of suffering truly matters my friends.
