So after Job speaks for awhile, one of the three friends who have come to sit with him decides that he can’t take it anymore.

He really let it out.Ĭan you imagine the enemy’s frustration? Hah! I’m not making light at all of his circumstances. It’s really pretty pathetic, but you have to have some empathy for him if you’ve ever been in a hard place. So Job is admittedly much worse off than George Bailey, and he has quite a lot to say in the midst of his misery. It’s a good movie that the Lovely Lady LeeAnn and I watch nearly every year. And in the depths of feeling sorry for himself he says, “I wish I had never been born.” And so an angel arranges for his wish to come true, and then proceeds to show George how the world would have been much worse off without him. Stewart’s character George Bailey, a good man who is loved by his wife, his kids and most of the little town he lives in, comes into some tough times through no fault of his own. That makes me think of the Jimmy Stewart Christmas movie “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Given his present suffering, he would rather have never existed. And maybe we can learn from Job, so that when we face loss and pain (as everyone does) we’ll be better prepared to make choices for our reactions that will glorify God.Īs the chapter opens, Job curses the day he was born, and the night that he was conceived. We’ll see Job’s character and his relationship with God. Most of the remainder of this book that bears his name will reveal the answers to these questions.

Will he curse God? Will he fold? How will he decide to deal with his great loss? The physical and emotional pain he’s in? How will he think about what others think about him? What will he think about God in light of his circumstances? That was his challenge.Īnd so with the opening of chapter three, we have the opening salvo in the battle for Job’s mind and soul. Remember, satan wins if Job does curse God. And his wife has told him to curse God and die. We decide.Īs chapter three opens, Job has just lost nearly everything most of his wealth, his children and his health. Do we collapse like a house of cards or do we rise up, steel ourselves, ask the Lord for wisdom and strength, and keep on keepin’ on? How we react to circumstances is a choice. One of the best indicators of one’s strength of character, and relationship with God is how we deal with hardship.
