Job 42:1-6
INTRODUCTION: For every meeting there is an agenda of things
the group wants to accomplish or deal with.
Behind that is another set of personal agendas that each person has
brought to the meeting. Take for
instance a school board. One person is
there to make sure their taxes stay low, another to make sure their kids get a
good education, and another is there to encourage sports or arts. One person is asking what can we do with what
we have to spend? Another person is
asking how much do we need to spend to do what needs to be done?
It is the same with church.
One person is looking for stimulation and entertainment, while another
is looking for friendship. One person is
looking for answers to universe size questions, while another wants to know how
to fix part of their life that seems broken.
One person is asking what do I get, while another ask what can I
give? Over all of that is the question
of what the Church is trying to accomplish?
Here in Job 42 Job has an aha moment and realizes that above everything
God has an agenda.
1. A QUESTION OF PURPOSE
A. JOB
TAUGHT EVERYTHING WAS ABOUT JOB
B. JOB’S
ACTIONS
C. GOD’S
REACTION TO JOB
D. EVEN HIS
SACRIFICES WERE ALL ABOUT HIMSELF OR FAMILY
2. SOMETHING BIGGER THAN JOB’S LIFE
A. GOD HAS
SOMETHING HE WANTS TO ACCOMPLISH VS2
B. WHAT GOD
IS DOING IS BEYOND OUR ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND VS3
C. THERE IS
WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE
D. THERE IS
WHAT IS GOING ON IN ETERNITY
3. JOB MOVES FROM HEARING ABOUT GOD TO SEEING GOD
A. ALL OF
JOB’S LIFE HE HAS HEARD ABOUT GOD, KNEW ALL THE GOD WORDS
B. BUT NOW
HE HAS AN UNDERSTANDING OF GOD, SEES GOD.
C. HE STILL
DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GOD IS DOING OR REASONS
D. JOB
FINALLY FOUND PEACE
E. PHP
2:13, EPH 2:10,
Whose agenda have you been trying to fulfill? Are you ready to go from hear about God, and knowing
God words, to knowing God? Are you ready to experience His presence and purpose
in your life? James 1:5. It is time to
get on our knees and ask “God what do you want me to do?”
