Looking for Job

Looking for Job

Job 10:19

- No way!

- Job doesn’t know it but he takes part in something he can’t imagine!

- He is the one who shows that a man can stay faithful to God whatever may happen to him!

- If the devil chose him to fight God, it was because he was special and his relationship with God was exceptional!

- Think about Job’s feelings through his trial and then think about God’s feelings watching Job being tortured physically and mentally by the devil and he couldn’t do anything because there was a trial on!

- The more we read about Job and his relationship with God the more it makes us think about our personal relationship with God!

- Or rather it should make us think!

- It shows we need to build up such a relationship and it may grow or shrink depending on the efforts we do!

- And Job shows us the way!

- A simple human but with inexhaustible mental resources who continues to resist no matter what happens to him!

- How many read the book of Job regularly?

- And I'm not just talking about reading the Bible or the book of Job but meditating on it to learn a life lesson and open the path to eternal life!

- There are so many life lessons to be learned in the Bible thanks to all the faithful servants of Yah.weh who have proven themselves!

- And us?
 
Looking for Job

Job 10:20

- He doesn’t know but he speaks about the devil!

- He has no idea of tomorrow!

- He just wants his torture to finish!

- It can be death or life, anything but no more torture!

- But he keeps faithful and at the same time he keeps complaining because of his torture!

- Job had no key to understanding what was happening to him!

- He was in total fog!

- We have the Bible and the testimony of all the faithful servants of Yah.weh!

- Are we also in total fog?

- Are we incapable of using the keys that the Bible provides us?
 
Looking for Job

Job 10:21,22

- These words remind me of those of Jesus speaking about death as if it was sleep!

- Deepest darkness, utter gloom, deep shadow and disorder, the light is like gloom!

- Quite a different vision from what people usually think it is!

- Maybe they should think about it!

- Job only wants to put an end to his suffering!

- He expects nothing from death!

- There is no bright light that warms the heart or the mind!

- He has no illusions!

- And we, with all the information that the Bible gives, do we still believe in chimeras?

- So what is the point of reading the Bible if a man who lived a very long time ago, who did not have the Bible, and he knew more about it than us?

- We are to be pitied!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:1,2

- If we didn’t know Job’s situation, would we think about someone so combative?

- Difficult to think so!

- So precise!- Wisdom is a journey which never ends!


- And the beginning of this journey is humility: no humility, no journey, no wisdom!

- In fact, no humility, no key to understanding the Bible and being able to meditate on it constantly to continually help us understand it better!

- Each time we return to a passage, our mind can be attracted by a detail or an aspect that we missed!

- The more we read it, the more we think about it and the more we open our eyes, and the more clarity sets in!

- The less we do it, the more darkness and incomprehension gains ground!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:3

- Job is not a young boy!

- He has lived for quite some time!

- He has life experience!

- He has helped many people!

- He is someone you can count on!

- We know him through the Book of Job!

- We know them according to what they say!

- And they were supposed to help Job but they are liars, they do the reverse!

- They don’t come from God but from the devil!

- They are just another attempt from him to get rid of Job!

- Here we have a presentation of the two opposing paths open to us!

- Not three ways, only two!

- So humans can imagine a third path but it is a dead end that leads nowhere!

- It's like mirages in the desert!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:4

- Laughingstock!

- The book of Job tells us a lot about Job!

- He has done so many good things!

- And he is faithful to God!

- And he has become a laughingstock!

- Just concentrate on this word!

- Think about Job’s life and his actions!

- “A righteous and blameless man is a laughingstock”!

- What a shock for him!

- All that for that!

- What a nonsense for Job!

- He can’t situate anywhere!

- He is nowhere!

- Or better said he keeps by his faithfulness!

- It is his torch lighting him in the darkness!

- And he keeps fighting whatever happens!

- Because Job is a WRESTLER!

- Yes, a fierce fighter!

- Someone who never gives up!

- Even if he is mentally and physically exhausted!

- An incredible example that we must look at to stay on course towards the prize of loyalty!

- And the closer we get to the end, the more difficult it is!

- The more we can have the impression that everything no longer makes sense in a crazy world where everything is accelerating!

- Where those who see are more and more blind!

- Where ignorance is a pandemic that is eroding society at all levels!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:5

- The carefree person doesn’t care!

- But Job cares about everything!

- And he cares about God!

- And he cares about people!

- But he also cares about himself!

- And knowing his personal situation he can only be upset!

- What a difference with a world that resembles the Titanic and its three classes linked to financial means!

- Not to mention that they all had the same ending!

- In the end, where is human intelligence?

- Why are human beings so stupid?
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:6

- Job is tortured!

- So he feels bad!

- And he sees what’s on in the world!

- What would he say if he could see what is happening today?

- How right he was!

- Everything is corruption!

- It's all selfishness!

- At least there is logic: the same end for all those who practice corruption and selfishness!

- Get closer and closer to the edge of the cliff!

- And then all it takes is a gust of wind and it’s a fall!

- A violent, rapid fall, with no possible escape!

- And there, this is the reality of the human species: despite its so-called intelligence, absolute failure!

- The man who believed himself more intelligent than his creator!

- Only crazy people believe in a plan B!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:7-9

- Yes, Job answers back!

- And he says that God’s creation tells us about God!

- God’s creation is an open Book of God’s wisdom!

- What a difference with man!

- He is only a copier and a bad one!

- Look at what he has done to the earth!

- And the more the time passes the worse it is!

- And he seems to be proud of it!

- And more people talk about a plan B!

- But there is no plan B!

- Scientists modified fruit flies by irradiating them to prove evolution!

- Then when they let nature take its course, those who monitored got closer to the initial model!

- All that for that!

- What intelligence!

- Man only knows how to destroy!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:10

- Yes, God created us!

- And we are his creation!

- And we can live thanks to all his creation!

- And he knows us!

- We can’t trick him!

- And yet he listens to his servants and to those who are really looking for him!

- And he listens to Job!

- But he answers him at the appropriate time!

- And God’s time is not ours!

- It is easy to forget it!

- And think wrong!

- You have to learn to think to make the right choices!

- This seems very difficult!

- Yet the faithful servants of Yah.weh show us the way in the Bible!

- But for many, the Bible is an outdated book!

- In fact, it is the human being who is overwhelmed!

- How is it possible to transform the earth that we received from Yah.weh to this extent to make it into trash?

- Don't dream, the land doesn't belong to us!

- We are just tenants!

- When Yah.weh asks us to account, it will be very hot and it will hurt very much!

- Who can say I didn't know, it's not my fault, I'm not responsible?
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:11

- We have five senses but because of modern life we are losing them more and more!

- And we have good sense: may we use it!

- Job tries to use it as much as he can!

- He keeps fighting!

-Have human beings ever had common sense?

- How is it possible to get to this point?

- It’s only getting worse!

- And the worse it gets, the more we still find some who deny the obvious!

- Stubbornness has never saved humanity!

- On the contrary, it leads him towards destruction!

- What a tragicomedy!

- How pitiful!

- For those who survive, how will it be possible to forget the past?

- The more time passes, the more the past will become nothing more than an insect that we crush!

- And yet even comparing it to an insect makes no sense because a simple insect is a miracle of divine creation!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:12

- Job tells what he knows!

- May we listen to him and benefit from his words to build our personality and be active for Yah.weh!

- How we need such faithful examples, especially in these confusing and superficial times!

- What is our life if it is simply about living and dying!

- Yah.weh offers us a contract!

- Live to prepare for the future!

- Live to make the future better!

- Live to act!

- But certainly not like what man has done until today!

- A future under perpetual construction!

- Achieve perfection and avoid falling back into our mistakes!

- Perfection is what man must strive for!

- Constantly seek to improve!

- Knowing that it will always be possible to do better!

- Like the human brain: the more neuronal connections we multiply, the more the brain's possibilities are multiplied to infinity!

- The complete opposite of what is happening today!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:13

- Job continues to think positively about Yah.weh!

- He knows that he is the source of wisdom and power!

- And he invites us to listen to him!

- And both parts of the Bible are essential for this!

- Why does man always seek to limit his sources in order to improve?

- Why does man try to be stupider than he is?

- The Bible is a whole and we can learn from each book!

- Why do we always have to listen to others?

- Above all, let us listen to Yah.weh and Jesus and all those who seek to bring us closer to them!

- Let us distance ourselves from all those who seek to distance us from them!

- Our life depends on it!

- We must not complain when it is too late!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:14,15

- He looks at nature which is God's creation, which speaks to us about God and what he is capable of doing!

- May we do the same to find inspiration and motivation to act!

- Of course, there is no one like God!

- Every day we can see the power and wisdom of God in action!

- And every day we can see the weakness and stupidity of man!

- And nature values both and opposes them!

-And this should encourage us to be humble!

- And to constantly seek to draw closer to Yah.weh and learn from him because he is the source of life and he is the only one who can keep us away from death!

- It invites us on an endless journey in which we can be useful and build a world that we cannot even imagine!

- But for this we must delve into the Bible to obtain the necessary information to take the right path!

- Without a compass, it's impossible to find the way!

- The Hebrews didn’t make it, neither did humans!

- They all took the wrong path with no way out!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:16

- He is the only one who can lead humanity!

- It's completely lost!

- And we know where it's going and it's dark!

- The void!

- Only God can bring brightness!

- The total absence of light!

- Perpetual night!

- Total fog!

- Yes, we need Yah.weh's guidance!

- In every aspect of our lives!

- Man must no longer have the possibility of destroying himself and others!

- He must no longer even have the possibility of thinking about it!

- Because before acting, man thinks!

- And to act badly, he starts by thinking badly!

- Evil must be completely eradicated as well as all those who oppose it!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:17-19

- Man is prone to pride!

- But Job invites us to humility!

- We are nothing compared to him!

-And it doesn't matter if we are powerful or not!

- We are all going to die!

- And sometimes it happens faster than you think!

- Humility can help us be careful and work for our health!

- Job was old and apparently in good health when the devil acted against him!

- When everything returns to normal, he will be able to continue to enjoy a peaceful and faithful life!

- Definitely a good example to follow, reflect on and remember at all times!

- As with the fruit fly, there is only one path for man!

- And this is not the one he continues to follow since Adam and Eve turned away from Yah.weh!

- For Yah.weh is the God of promise or promises!

- The one who always keeps his promises!

- And as far as humanity is concerned, nothing has changed, man will live in peace on earth, eternally, in good health, he will have no problem with housing or food, and he will participate in all this!

- He will not be passive but active, part of what he sees happening before his eyes!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:20,21

- We may think we are important but anything can happen in our life and remember we are nothing!

- Anything can happen to bring us back to reality!

- It doesn't matter when!

- Job got into trouble because of the devil but he remained faithful and his life returned to normal!

- We can imagine that he was humble enough to use what happened to him to live a better life!

- We must grow and develop our personality and try to be better in every way!

- Of course, it is not an easy journey but it can be fruitful!

- Let us not dream, all those who oppose Yah.weh will come to a bad end!

- Let's not dream, everyone who does not work for Yah.weh will come to a bad end!

- Let's not dream, there are only two paths, the one that goes towards Yah.weh and the one that leads away from Yah.weh!

- Start by thinking about the true meaning of Yah.weh and all that it implies!

- And I'm not talking about God or Lord, all-purpose words that don't mean much!

- Isn't the devil the god of this world who is heading towards his ruin?

- A loss which will be final and without return!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:22

- God is definitely the source of knowledge, the creator of everything!

- We can verify this every day if we open our eyes and ears to look and listen to nature!

- We can learn a lot from the Bible if we take the time, patience and effort!

- But you have to make an effort to get closer to God!

- We must open our minds!

- And it's not easy in this modern and superficial world!

- In history, we talk about dark ages!

- Are we far from today where everything is superficial and confusing?

- Yah.weh is the God of the living and he does not forget his faithful servants who are dead!

- He can bring the dead back to life!

- And above all it will put an end to death!

- On the other hand, those who must disappear will disappear forever!

- Including demons!

- There is a time for everything and the time will come when all those who oppose his will will disappear!

- We always come back to the two paths that can be chosen!

- Either we are for Yahweh, or we are against him!

- It is not possible to remain neutral!

- You have to choose your side!

- There is nothing under the sun!

- If we don't move forward, we go backward!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:23

- We have good examples in the Bible!

- But they opposed God!

- Especially Israel who was special in the eyes of God because of Abraham!

- And it was revealed so many times that it ended up completely rotten!

- But it was their choice!

- Throughout the Bible, Yah.weh used the nations to serve his interests in connection with Israel!

- He also used kings or political leaders to help his faithful servants!

- Nothing is impossible for Yah.weh!

- Anything is possible for him!

- He can destroy but each time with the aim of rebuilding!

- And his goal has always been to transform the earth into a paradise where humans can live in peace and in good conditions!

- We don't know what he has planned for the universe!

- What is certain is that he designed us with a brain of unlimited capacities!

- Until today, we can only use a very small part of it because our life is very short!

- Our brains were designed so that we live forever!

- Everything is possible, everything is possible!

- With our limitations today, we are incapable of projecting ourselves forward as it will be possible to do in the near future for those who will enter the new promised land!
 
Looking for Job

Job 12:24,25

- First of all, the case of Nebuchadnezzar comes to mind!

- But we can think of all the great empires that the Bible talks about and how they were crushed and their powerful men with them!

-And all history is full of these powerful and proud men!

- All that for that!

- Poor humanity!

- History is the testimony of humanity and its inability to learn anything!

- This is why we are on the verge of collapse!

- But what has to happen will happen!

- It’s a blessing in disguise!

- This must be so that Yah.weh is recognized as the universal sovereign of the universe and no one can challenge his authority!

- It will only be an accident of history!

- The journey will really begin when Yah.weh does the big cleaning to move on to the next step!

- What a relief to be able to live in a new society where everything will have to be rebuilt!

- We can remember the departure of the Hebrew people from Egypt!

- It wasn't easy, they wanted to return to Egypt!

- They preferred to be slaves to free men!

- In fact, they always remained slaves!

- They were never free!

- It will be the same in this new world, there will be no place for slaves who want to return to the old world!
