And we only made it to 20. So we're going to pick it up in chapter 21 tonight. Chapter

19 was just, I didn't want to, and I'm so glad we didn't rush through it so much there in that

So we'll pick it up in chapter 21. Why don't we pray first and we'll ask God to bless our time together in this word.

Pardon me.

Loving Heavenly Father, Pardon me.

Loving Heavenly Father, we are so grateful to you for your word and this time together that we have tonight in your word. Lord, we desire nothing more than to have you speak into our lives in and through your

the book of Job. Lord, thank you for including the book of Job in scripture for us, all of these generations

Some of the things we're going to see here tonight have powerful and even profound application

And we're so grateful to you that we can learn the lessons from your word

and from Job and even from his so-called friends. So Lord, thank you in advance for

what you're going to do in our time together tonight. We pray.

In Jesus' name, amen.
