Looking for Job
Job 9:24
- Here we are again: Job only knows God!
- He doesn’t know that the devil is controlling the world and he is the one who is responsible!
- In fact, in a way, the world is in Job’s situation, but it is the world, not only one man but the whole of humanity, and who is going to be faithful like Job?

Job 9:25
- Whatever may happen to Job, in spite of his stress, his ideas about his personal situation are clear: every day is alike, Job doesn’t wait for anything, he has no hope!
- Whatever the three individuals say, Job won’t change his mind!
- He keeps straight in his boots!

Looking for Job
Job 9:28
- Job feels bad because of his physical and mental conditions
- But the worst for him is to think he has done something wrong against God and he doesn’t know what!
- Of course, physical and mental conditions are deeply connected!
- But having no hope is the worst!
- It’s really hard when everything is dark and you don’t see any light!
- You need to look to the future!
- Because you can’t change the past, you have to live with it!
- But you can build something on it so you can go on!
- You need a project!

Job 9:29
- When we just listen to Job, it makes him so powerful!
- What the three individuals say is so empty!
- And Job says it again, the worst for him is the feeling of being guilty and not knowing why!
- His relationship with God is so fundamental!
- It is like eating and drinking and sleeping and breathing: you can’t live without doing it!
- Thus the Book of Job is a good way to ask ourselves what kind of relationship we have with God!
- Are we foreigners or do we want to build a strong relationship with him!
- If so, we must study daily but we need more than that, we need to keep thinking about what we learn daily, it must feel our minds, our lungs, our bodies and help us to get up every morning!

Job 9:32
- Of course, God is superior to us!
- But God finds pleasure and satisfaction when people serve him faithfully!
- Think about the devil’s jealousy about people worshiping God with faithfulness!
- We are made in His image!
- So it means we are able to develop a special relationship with him!
- Think about working with God forever in a world dominated by him!
- No more injustice and the possibility to live in a world where nobody can oppose him and make a world where it is impossible to live!
- On the contrary, living in a world where we can get up every morning and be sure that we can make it better and better!

Looking for Job
Job 9:33
- In a relationship with God, there are only two beings: God and us!
- We mustn’t let anybody interfere with our relationship with God!
- People can help us make it stronger but at the end of the times, it’s up to us!
- We can only accuse ourselves, not the others!
- If we let others govern our relationship with God, it’s our own mistake!

Job 9:34,35
- The last verse of Chapter 9 is powerful!
- It tells us about Job’s relationship with God!

Job 10:1
- On the one hand, Job “loathes” his life, he can’t bear being away from God!

- That’s what makes his strength in spite of his condition!
- He wants to speak to God about his own feelings and open his hearts to him as he has always done it!
- That’s the only thing he gets!
- And nobody can take it from him!

- Not to forget it!

- And he can’t communicate with God any more!
- And the devil keeps looking for ways to destroy him and wins against God!
- And the devil never renounces!
- That’s why he sends these men to Job who are supposed to help him but, in fact, they do everything to put him in the pit!

Job 10:8
- The devil must be laughing and thinking he is up to win!
- Well, he has been quite successful with a big part of humanity!
- And he always wants more!
- He only looks for his own interests!
- In fact, he and the demons only look for their own interests like the religious leaders!
- They don’t care about human beings!
- They are only a way to help them get what they want!
- And they want people to think that God does the same!
- In fact, what we see in the Book of Job can be extended to humanity!
- That’s the same!

- A game for the devil and JUSTICE for God!
