How Can One Man Be Righteous Before God? Job 8-16, Pt 1

Please join me in my study of Job a righteous man of God.  Not one of us is perfect but God loves us anyway.  We must stop giving the evil one credit for everything that goes wrong in our lives.  Just know as we have found out in Job, that he can’t do more than is allowed by God.  We must learn to praise God in our good times as well in our bad times.  God’s will not ours will be the last.  Will you be the good and faithful servant like Job; or, like his wife wanting to curse God and die?  Tell God everyday thank you, in all your circumstances.  Much love, Min. B. 

Then Job answered and said: “Truly I know it is so, But how can a man be righteous before God? If one wished to contend with Him, He could not answer Him one time out of a thousand. God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered? He removes the mountains, and they do not know When He overturns them in His anger; He shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble; He commands the sun, and it does not rise; He seals off the stars; He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea; He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south; He does great things past finding out, Yes, wonders without number. If He goes by me, I do not see Him; If He moves past, I do not perceive Him; If He takes away, who can hinder Him? Who can say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’ God will not withdraw His anger, The allies of the proud lie prostrate beneath Him. “How then can I answer Him, And choose my words to reason with Him? For though I were righteous, I could not answer Him; I would beg mercy of my Judge. If I called and He answered me, I would not believe that He was listening to my voice. For He crushes me with a tempest, And multiplies my wounds without cause.
