The David Spoon Experience 10-10-22 Part 2
1) In all this: So, beyond the pale, Job went through more than most of us can dream of. But he did not sin. YET! He did not blame God. In truth, he never blamed God. That’s the key to understanding Job. Job didn’t “blame” God, but he didn’t justify God either. His sin is that he “justified himself.” Job 32:2 states, But Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became very angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God. 2) In chapter two, we have a repeat of chapter one. Why is this significant? It helps us understand repeat trials, for one. We see the same stuff in a loop. But there is always a new kernel of illumination to be gained, just like when we encounter repeat trials. There is always a new little nugget that the Lord reveals to us, so we can draw in closer and know Him better. 3) Mega point number two: Satan doesn’t change his attacks. He just keeps on attacking. He tries to go at Job again. In reality, he already lost the first challenge. Job did NOT curse God to His face. A stark reality is that non of this questions God, satan, and the people in the process. The only time the enemy wins outright is when he deceives people into thinking that none of this stuff takes place. Open our eyes, Lord.
