0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.8	I'm Jensen Holt McNair.
0:16.5	Today we have three chapters of the Book of Job to cover. So far in the Book of Job we've walked through a lot. God has
0:21.6	allowed Satan to test the faith of Job, a faithful
0:24.8	servant of God by sending trials and suffering. We've seen him lose everything.
0:29.5	We've heard his friends attempt to convince him that his suffering is a result of his own sin,
0:35.1	that he's been forsaken by God. His friends and the people in his community all assume

1:27.0	sections. Chapter 29, we see Job reflect on who he was and the friendship he had with God before his suffering.
1:36.0	Later in chapter 30, we see Job mourning his new status, mourning the mockery he endures, mourning the loss of closeness with God.
1:45.0	And finally in Chapter 31, we see Job giving a long list of the ways that he has been upright,
1:51.0	the ways he has remained faithful to the covenants he's made with God.
1:55.1	And these three sections altogether are Job's final summary of his beliefs and defense surrounding
