Job 17-19

We are coming to the end of Job’s friends second round of speeches they make against Job. Seeking to defend Job and to prove him wrong they continue to insist that the wicked are always punished and the righteous always prosper in this life. Job’s friends are completely unaware that God is behind all of this and has allowed these trials in Job’s life to vindicate both Job and the Lord as to why Job worships God. Great lessons on life and how to handle adversity, how to be a good friend when people in your life are suffering. We are learning how not to treat people by listening to Job’s so called friends. We are in chapter 17 tonight and Job’s response to Eliphaz’s second speech to Job as to why Job is suffering.
