(An important note to the readers of Part 2 of this weekly blog post entitled, “God Speaks To Job Through James.”) When studying the biblical literature of the Book of Job in the Holy Bible, you will discern that its teaching explores the themes of trials, patience, and suffering. But to glean the unadulterated truth and wisdom as to how a person is to godly respond to such life conditions is actually recorded in the Book of James in the New Testament.

Some years ago, the Holy Spirit guided me in gathering the research for you and compiling it in a two-part blog rendition. Please feel free to post your comments on this endeavor if you feel led to do so.

C-O-N-T-I-N-U-E-D

BUT LET HIM ASK IN FAITH, WITH NO DOUBTING, FOR HE WHO DOUBTS IS LIKE A WAVE OF THE SEA. DRIVEN AND TOSSED BY THE WIND. James 1:6

[Our true friend Elihu suggested the manner in which you should have prayed, remember]…For has anyone said to God, I have borne chastening; I will offend no more; teach me what I do not see;’ Job 35:31, 32a

BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO ENDURES TEMPTATION; FOR WHEN HE HAS BEEN APPROVED, HE WILL RECEIVE THE CROWN OF LIFE WHICH THE LORD HAS PROMISED TO THOSE WHO LOVE HIM. James 1:12

[Job, stop that]…Do not desire the night. [For people that are in darkness are cut off. Shhhh,]…Lest he take you away with one blow. [Then a Great Ransom (Jesus) cannot deliver you and you will not receive the crown of life.] Job 36:20, 18

SO THEN, MY BELOVED BRETHREN, LET EVERY MAN BE SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK, SLOW TO WRATH; James 1:19

[Oh, good, Job. You have calmed down. You have repented to God by declaring,]…Behold I am vile; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand over my mouth. Job 40:4

THEREFORE LAY ASIDE ALL FILTHINESS AND OVERFLOW OF WICKEDNESS, AND RECEIVE WITH MEEKNESS THE IMPLANTED WORD, WHICH IS ABLE TO SAVE YOUR SOULS. James 1:21

Then Job answered the Lord and said: I know that you can do everything, and that no purpose of yours can be withheld from you. Job 42:1, 2

[Furthermore, I receive with all meekness the engrafted word. For my own words were hollow without understanding and knowledge.]

Therefore, I have uttered what I did not understand. things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. Job 42:3

IF ANYONE AMONG YOU THINKS HE IS RELIGIOUS, AND DOES NOT BRIDLE HIS TONGUE BUT DECEIVES HIS OWN HEART, THIS ONE’S RELIGION IS USELESS. JAMES 1:26

[Oh, Job, how wonderful our God is! For after you repented in dust and ashes and bridled your tongue and harnessed your deceitful thoughts, the Bible says]…And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Job 42:10

AMEN
