1. Yeah…so the next part begins just like the last part. Must be some kind of literary device…parallelism?
2. “He still holds fast to his integrity.” Cool. Don’t you wish God would say that about you?
3. So…Satan thinks that if God allows him to mess around with Job’s body that he’ll buckle. Interesting theory…
4. God doesn’t want him to die, but he tells Satan to do his worst.
5. Hmm…I bet these loathsome sores were not cool at all. Now, I know that when I had chicken pox when I was a kid that my mom told me not to scratch. This hurt so bad that Job swipes a piece of pottery to scratch with. Man…that had to hurt!
6. I joke around a lot and talk about when wives don’t support their husbands–I call them “curse God and die” moments. Boy, that Job’s wife. She sure does have a lot of faith, doesn’t she?
7. Man…I am so surprised at Job’s level-headedness. Should we only expect “good” things from God?
8. So then his three buddies show up: Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar. It’s nice that they originally came to comfort their friend. Good guys…
9. Imagine how jacked up Job must have been! His own friends didn’t even recognize him!
10. Wow…they sat for seven whole days without saying a word. You know…sometimes, you don’t have to say anything…they’re going to get into real trouble once they start talking.
