HEAR Journaling Job Chapter 35
Highlight – Job 35:1-8 New Living Translation
Elihu Reminds Job of God’s Justice
2 “Do you think it is right for you to claim, ‘I am righteous before God’?3 For you also ask, ‘What’s in it for me? What’s the use of living a righteous life?’
4 “I will answer you and all your friends, too.5 Look up into the sky, and see the clouds high above you.6 If you sin, how does that affect God? Even if you sin again and again, what effect will it have on him?7 If you are good, is this some great gift to him? What could you possibly give him?8 No, your sins affect only people like yourself, and your good deeds also affect only humans.
Explain – Elihu stated that Job’s sins only affect people like himself. Elihu is wrong about many things. Actually a person’s behavior can affect others negatively or positively.
Apply – We must learn the benefit of living obedient lives in the Lord. Our sinful behavior can cause real injury to others, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Others may be tempted to sin from our sinful behavior, whereas obedient behavior can bring blessings on oneself, your household, and those you interact with.
Hebrews 3: 12-15 ESV 12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
Deuteronomy 30:19-20 ESV 19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, 20 loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
Acts 16:31 ESV And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
1 Corinthians 7:14 ESV For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
Acts 2:38-39 ESV And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
Respond – Lord, thank You for Your salvation and blessings for all my generations. Help me Lord to be a positive influence in others to encourage them to seek and abide in You forever. I seek to follow You faithfully and obediently, always. Amen.
