Scripture: Job Chapters 6 & 7
Sermon Series: The Book of Job: Relating to God While Suffering in Life
Series Launch Date: 06/14/20
In Chap 6, Job defended his speech in Chap 3, saying that God was hurting him, and that he wished that God would rather kill him. He wished his friends were reliable and that they would truthfully tell him where he did wrong. Job’s friends, nevertheless, indicated that they were terrified by his lot, and we see that they, themselves, stopped thinking rationally. Under such a situation, Job felt that he had the right to complain. In Chap 7, Job laments that life as a human is already hard with regard to the overall condition of laboring. The natural desire for rest and the fruit of work had turned into the desire to die for Job, for he had no rest. Life was already short and quick, and Job now, given his incredible condition, wanted to go into Sheol with no return. He wondered why God put such attention on him, as if looking for fault. He asked God to leave him alone or grant him a pardon.
