Yeah, six chapters. By faith, we're going to do six chapters tonight. We're really in for

something else tonight, especially I think in chapter 13, if I remember correctly. So why don't we

pray and we'll get into the word if you would join with me.

Loving Heavenly Father, thank you so much for your word and

Lord this book that you have included within the canon of Scripture that all of these generations later we here tonight

would be reading and hearing and hopefully taking to heart that which is written in this book

as intense and even involved as it is and as ugly as it gets.

Lord, I just pray that as only you can and always do that you by the Holy Spirit would just speak into our lives in and through

this portion that we have before us tonight. Lord, minister to us and show us what you want us to

see so that we can take home with us tonight after our time together in your words, something

that we can really begin to apply to our lives, just by way of practical and personal

application to our lives. So, Lord, thank you. In Jesus' name, amen. So two weeks ago, we left Job and his three so-called friends.

That's what I'm going to refer to them as because with friends like that who needs enemies.

Going back and forth and his so-called friends are falsely accusing him of everything under the sun, namely that of

secret and unconfessed sin in his life as being the reason for his unspeakable suffering and pain.

And we have to, again again sort of paint the canvas

of the scene that we have here at this point in the book of Job. Job is

actually sitting in a rubbish heap on a pile of ashes. Ashes because that's where they would take

all of the rubbish from the city and burn it. And so he's sitting there in this rubbish heap on a pile of

ashes and he is scraping himself with any sharp object that he can find.

And the reason he's scraping himself is because he's covered from head to toe in pussy, itchy boils.

You'll forgive the graphic description, but that's what we're told in the narrative.
