You know, something comes to my mind, it might be useful, I don't know.

When I had prostate cancer, you know, one of those moments when you get serious about,

hmm, take a deep breath, have surgery, now people ask you, you know, following the surgery, see, how are you doing?

How are you?

You know what my default answer is?

I don't have a clue.

The day before the biopsy, I thought I was healthy as could be.

And I wasn't.

So right now, how are you, John Piper?

I don't know.

Could be dying of a horrible cancer.

I don't know.

So, you know, my response, you don't want to hear that when you ask me how you doing?

What you want is what I'll say. I'll say, I feel fine.

That hides a lot. It's true. I do feel fine. And I think I'm healthy. My numbers are good,

but am I good? God knows. So when I say, we'll go in 60 more minutes, if the Lord wills, I really made it.

I could be in heaven 60 minutes from now.

And so could you.

Or hell.

It's good to think about that.

Number five, we're talking about God's sovereignty over Satan and all of his remarkable powers that God has given him in this age.

I'm not going to read all of this by Job.
