The David Spoon Experience 6-19-23 Part 2
1) We came to the part of Job’s speech where he begins his final descent and reaches the lowest of the low. He starts comparing himself to the people who are his peers and their children too. And quite frankly, he’s disgusted by this because the kids are people who aren’t devoted or committed to the Lord the right way. These aren’t 15 and 20-year-olds. These are 30 and 40-year-old people who think that they know better. Youth often does. Ironically, they could be our own family. But the key is that anytime we compare ourselves with others, the godly or the ungodly, we are NOT WISE! 1 Corinthians 10:2 states, but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
2) Chapter 30 and verse 16. Job expresses the darkness of the moment when he says his heart is broken and that depression haunts his days. There are many people that we know who suffer from depression. Making fun of anybody who struggles with this is dark and evil. Some of these people need very powerful healing from the Lord directly. Some of these people need medication, which is also a gift from God. Some of these people just need to be loved right out of the darkness.
