This morning, I'm gonna continue where Philip left off this morning, and we're gonna go from Job 35 versus verse 9 through 36. Now, as I was telling you guys before we even started, it was a little uh I'm gonna need your help tonight. I'm gonna need your help, and I'm gonna open it. We'll do something a little differently. I'm gonna let you know what are some of the things that I did get out of it, as well as to um get you get some feedback and some opinions and see what you guys might have gotten out of, provided you guys did read the read the the scripture. So I just thank you for I thank you in advance. So, you know, the one thing that I did get out of it that I didn't as I I said as I said, Job was one of those, one of those books, especially this particular section of who's talking and what he how he's talking and what he's saying and who's saying what. I actually I saw a Elihu. He actually, as he was talking to Job, he was, you know, he talked to Job about uh God's justice and this, that, and the other. But some of the stuff, some of the things that he was saying, I was thinking, or he was saying, to me, it felt like half-truths. Because it was like he was trying to tell Job that he was wrong in this, or I got he was trying to tell Job that he was wrong on certain stuff, that God was this way, God was that way. But it all it reminds me, it might remind me of, you know, sometimes how other people can try to talk to you, but they don't they want to tell you what they what they what they think, but they really don't know what they're really saying, or because the one thing that I did really get out of this is like you know, Job, God actually said that Job was a righteous man. And he was, you know, he he the when the enemy came, he wanted to uh wanted to, you know, do the things that he wanted to do with Job. He, you know, he got the permission from God. But um God said, Have you tried my servant Job? And Job was okay, whoever that is, can you actually please the uh mute your thing? I see you on here twice, Roxanne, so maybe that might have been you, but um getting back to what I was saying, it is uh he was a righteous man, you know. Job didn't, I don't think Job wanted to actually uh I didn't think that Job wanted to uh curse God or to even, you know, he was if he was a righteous man and he wouldn't curse God, why would why would his friends decide that well that I know I know better or I know this and I know that? Um because God created us, he created us, he created us to he created us to worship him. We are his family, we are his children. However, why would he want, I mean, and even if he were, he did tell us even in this world that we were good, we are going to have some struggles, we're gonna have so we're gonna have to suffer. And you know, he is an omnipotent and a loving God. Why would he why would he want to um uh forgive forgive me there? There was something that someone said the other day, it's like, you know, the you're in there that they always thought that God was that God was up in heaven wanting to um see us do wrong and to hit lightning and hit us with lightning. And you know, I felt that his friend was trying to tell him that he would that he knew more than Job knew. However, it was just like, why would why would a loving God, I mean, there are things that we haven't done, why would he want to uh punish us? He would want to help us to make sure that we are actually doing his will and to go the way that he wants us to go. So that's that was that's it, it's been very, it was been very, very confusing because God is, I don't, I didn't just see, I saw God, I see God as a loving God, and now he is a jealous God as well, and he wants us to do right and to do the things that he wants us to do. However, I don't think that he would be, he would want to sit here and say, Well, you're sinning, or you're I mean, yeah, he will tell us that we're sinning, but he would also help us to you know lead us, lead us in the way that we can actually through repentance, as well as so that we can go the way that we want to go. Now, for me, y'all, I don't, I really I'd say job is kind of confused. This is a confusing book to me, and I didn't really, and I need to get some understanding, so I need as much help as I can possibly get with you all and through you all. If you have anything that you can contribute and add and help me to understand, especially Elihu's um not dissertation, but his speech to Job about about what's going on in this particular situation. So I can open up the floor at this particular moment and see what you all think or see what you all got from this particular text. Okay, so um I now I guess.
