Introduction
Job experiences suffering and hardship like no other man has ever known. Yet in his suffering, Job is comforted by the hope that he has a Redeemer who has conquered the grave.
Job's Three Friends
Eliphaz
Bildad
Zophar
The first of the three, Eliphaz, acknowledges that Job has been a source of strength to others (Job 4:3-4). But then he turns and puts the blame for Job’s suffering squarely on Job himself. “Think now,” he says, “who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off? As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same”
That job was Hypocrite.
Job’s second friend, Bildad, says much the same. “See, God will not reject a blameless person nor take the hand of evildoers” (Job 8:20).
That job was an evildoer
The third friend, Zophar, repeats the refrain. “If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, do not let wickedness reside in your tents. Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure, and will not fear.…Your life will be brighter than the noonday” (Job 11:14-15, 17). Zophar’s last speech observes that wicked persons will not enjoy their riches because God will make their stomachs “vomit them up again” (Job 20:15) and that “They will give back the fruit of their toil, and will not swallow it down; from the profit from their trading they will get no fruit of their enjoyment” (Job 20:18).
That job is a thief
STUDY GUIDE
What Names are your Friends calling you?
Matthew 5:22 But I say to you that anyone who is angry with a brother will be subjected to judgment. And whoever insults a brother will be brought before the council, and whoever says ‘Fool’ will be sent to fiery hell.
Ecclesiastes 10:12-14 Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips. At the beginning their words are folly; at the end they are wicked madness and fools multiply words. No one knows what is coming– who can tell someone else what will happen after them?
KEEP YOUR INTEGRITY
1. Keeping your promises. People of integrity keep their word. If they say they'll do it, they do it. If they say they'll be there, they show up.
Proverbs 11:3
Proverbs 20:25
Ecclesiastes 5:4-7
Matthew 5:33-36
2.Refusing to gossip. God is looking for men and women of integrity who know how to keep a secret and not pass it around on social media. Don't talk about people behind their back. Don't even listen or take part in gossip!
Psalm 15:3
4. By being real with others. A person of integrity doesn't act one way in church and another way at work and another way on the golf course. "But we have renounced the secret things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by expressing the truth and commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God" (2 Cor. 4:2,).
Life application
But it doesn’t have to be friends who accuse us. Unlike Job, most of us are quite ready to accuse ourselves. Anyone who has tasted failure has likely wondered, “What have I done to deserve this?” It’s natural, and not altogether incorrect. Sometimes out of sheer laziness, bad decisions or incompetence, we make poor decisions that cause us to fail at work or school . However, not all failures are the direct result of our own shortcomings. Many are the result of circumstances outside our control.
