Looking for Job
Job 6:8-10
- RESPECT! INCREDIBLE WORDS! UNBELIEVABLE!
- How is it possible? Job is in such a bad situation and he asks God for the favor to die: “I WOULD LEAP FOR JOY DESPITE THE UNRELENTING PAIN.”
- Do you notice what Job says right now?
“FOR I HAVE NOT DENIED THE SAYINGS OF THE HOLY ONE.”
- IS THAT CLEAR AGAIN? FOR ME IT IS!
- Job wants to die, he doesn’t speak about committing suicide, he begs God to make him die like a favor, just to be in peace, in rest. Think about the last line:
FOR I HAVE NOT DENIED THE SAYINGS OF THE HOLY ONE
- Can you hear the chorus:
THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM ON EARTH
THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM ON EARTH
THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM ON EARTH
- Job is true to his faith in God!

Job 6:11
- Is that not DESPERATION? When you don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel?
- It seems to be Job is in front of us, we see how he feels at any time right now and then, he is talking to us and telling us his deepest feelings and his pain and suffering and everything which goes through his mind!
- It is the same for us when we don’t know what comes next, it is as if we were watching us, being our own spectator!

Job 6:12,13
- There is nothing from Job!
- He thinks he is nobody!
- He thinks he is helpless!
- He thinks he is reduced to nothing!
- Job knows he is but a human being with human weakness!
- And he knows he is left alone with nothing, no hope, no way to escape!
- Is that the end of the way?
- We may think the same in some difficult situations!

Job 6:15-23
- SO POWERFUL!
- From where he is, Job finds the strength to speak about his own family and they are not here, they are of no help!
- Of course, we are all different!
- We take different ways!
- It is difficult to build a strong connection between human beings!
- We don’t go at the same speed!
- Do we go faster when we are alone?
- Job is incredible with all the strength he finds from his pain and suffering!
- Do we need to be in such a mental condition to be able to express our deepest feelings?
- It also tells us how much we have to strive to get closer to God and Jesus if we want them to do the same!
- It’s a two way move!
- We have to work hard to build a special relationship!

Job 6: 24
- A dialogue is interesting when it is constructive,
when it helps you to go ahead, to push you, to analyze
a situation, to visualize different perspectives!
- And Job has the experience to go in this direction
but the people who have come to him are unable to
be constructive, they are just condemning him!
- So it goes nowhere except when we listen to Job
because again he has the experience!

- Coming back to this verse in Job 6:25
- HONEST WORDS – BENEFIT – REPROOF
- ENCOURAGING PEOPLE IS A POWERFUL WEAPON!
- SOMETIMES WE CAN ALSO ENCOURAGE BY OUR PRESENCE MEANING IT IS NOT ALWAYS NECESSARY TO SAY A WORD!
- THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERYTHING!
- IN A MEAL WE CAN ADD SALT OR PEPPER TO MAKE IT TASTIER!
- SOMETIMES IT IS GOOD WITHOUT SALT AND PEPPER!

Looking for Job
- YOU FEEL BAD THEN HAVE A LOOK AT THE BOOK OF JOB AND ESPECIALLY AT HIS WORDS
- OR BETTER SAID, HAVE A LOOK AT THE BOOK OF JOB AGAIN AND AGAIN AND BEFORE YOU FEEL BAD, ALWAYS HAVING IN MIND HIS WORDS AND THINKING ABOUT THEM AND HOW HE STAYED A ROCK EVEN IN THE PIT ALWAYS FIGHTING BACK WHATEVER WOULD HAPPEN!

Looking for Job
Job 6:26
- As Job says, he speaks because he is desperate and his desperation goes away!
- Every word is DESPERATION!
- But they don’t care! That is a huge mistake! No, it is unforgivable!
- They are pitiless!
- They are of no help!
- May we listen to Job not to follow their examples and be helpful by listening and comforting and being positive and help to recover!
