Job 3 - 5

JobSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explores the concept of wisdom in the book of Job, particularly in chapters 3-5. He notes that while the wisdom literature suggests excellent advice, it may not always be applicable in every situation. He also comments on the perception that suffering is a punishment from God and points out that even though Job's friends believed in this theology, it did not equate to being accurate. Gregg reminds listeners that Jesus taught against worrying and the Bible instructs us not to fear, and encourages us to seek God's will in our day-to-day living.
