Subtitle
Strange World
Title
Image of God / DNA / Justice
Living in a world / misguided
Seek vague/confusing version
Outside of God
Many diff forms/definitions
World not interested in God's def.
However trying to define outside
Futile as all other attributes
How do you define love/good/wisdom/holy
When u try u open yourself up
Interp/under/pers feel/beliefs
Futile
Subtopic 01
When you try to define justice outside of God
-we demand the firing
-come up with defunding police depts
-looting and burning/nothing to do with events
-Do the store owners not deserve justice?
-burn down a Wendy's/DUI, assault, taser
Worked up right now!
May need to repent for thoughts
Not my goal
Allow the Holy Spirit to calm us down
If there was ever...
Subtopic 02
Human history...victim of injustice
(1)God's description of Job
Blameless (good rep.)
Upright (straight path)
Feared God / Shunned evil
(3) Greatest of all people in East
Enter satan
Considered Job
Repeats description of Job
Accuser true to form
Take away stuff / curse you to your face
Devastation
Series of events Job loses livestock all ten kids
income / food / clothing / transportation / family
I couldn't imagine losing one child / He lost ten
Job's response / verse 20
Tore robe / shaved head / looked for nearest store
Demanded the Sabeans and Chaldeans be defunded
Actions of a few
No he fell to the ground and worshiped
The Lord blessed me (unknown reason)
He decided to take it away
I deserve nothing (less than nothing)
God is gracious to give / Has every right to take
He's still good in the process of taking
Title
No Blame
The accuser was wrong
Rinse and repeat
Notice God's words
2:3 ...to destroy him without cause
Injustice: an act that inflicts undeserved hurt
any act that involves unfairness to another
If Job tried to define justice outside of God
Pretty good argument
By your own words Lord... This is unfair
Accuser: allow me to harm body / curse you
Painful boils / scrape with broken pottery
2:9 curse God and die
Leaving wife probably part of tragedy
Title
Foolish Woman
Title
2:10 You speak as one of the foolish
Shall we not accept good from God
and shall we not accept adversity?
Matt 5:45
World okay accepting sunshine rain resources mercy grace
Refuses to accept adversity
Byproduct of a sinful fallen world
We have all contributed to
…For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Super Human?
Title
Up to this point... Super human response
Unfortunately he falls into the trap of
(small picture) defining justice outside of God
His terms
By Chap 4 cursing day he was born
By Chap 14 wants to put God on trial
Wants God to list the charges God has against
(big picture trap)
viewing adversity through lens of Job-centered
vs God-centered universe
How Much More...
Title
If blameless, upright, God-fearing, evil shunning...
How much more should I guard myself
If people who have God's Spirit can fall into this
How much more non-believers
It may not be a trap / they most likely live there
I exist for Him, He doesn't exist for me
I am part of His story, not the other way around
God-centered vs. man-centered
The response we see in this world is man-centered
They don't grasp Lam 3:22 (NIV)
3:22 Because of the LORD's great love (mercies NKJV) we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. 24 I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion (all I need)
therefore I will wait for Him"
Lam 3:31-40 read NIV
2 (NLT) Do you still want to argue with the Almighty? You are God’s critic, but do you have the answers?
2 (NIV) Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? Let him who accuses God answer Him!
Title
33 from His heart - doesn't take pleasure
36 2nd half NKJV The Lord does not approve
40 examine, test, return
He doesn't take pleasure in the grief, but in the outcome
God never gives Job an answer
Why tragedies allowed
Let's him know who is God / who is not
Buckle up Job
Job 38:4-5, 8, 10-11, 17-21, 35-36
Job 40:2 NLT/NIV
Nothing to say
Humbled Response
Title
Job 40:8 NLT/NIV
Job 42:2-3, 5-6
God doubled everything
Children? First 10 in heaven?
Job would have no regrets
God didn't take pleasure in the grieving
He takes pleasure in the outcome
Job and millions blessed
8 (NLT) Will you discredit my justice and condemn me just to prove you are right?
8 (NIV) …Would you condemn me to justify yourself?
2 I know you can do anything and no one can stop you
3 (NIV) I have spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know
5 (NIV) My ears have heard of you but now my eyes have seen you
6 I despise myself and repent
Closing
Title
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

Title
And when this supernatural event takes place
Then the world can see:
We deserve nothing/gives and takes away/has every right/still good in that process/God-centered universe/we exist for Him not the other way around/by His grace not consumed/He is our portion/no pleasure in grief/if we are irate about injustice how much more/examine test return/He's God He know what He's doing/Laid the foundations/commands water lightning/gives understanding wisdom/Above reproach/He's all about is justice because He is justice!
