This passage is the turning point in Joseph's life. He had been a slave and a prisoner and faithfully looked to God. Now, he was called before a king and yet he continued to faithfully point to God. Success did not get him to turn from God. His faithfulness allowed him to share God's plans to a nation and then ready them to help the nations. Joseph serves as an example for believers today on their need for faithfully revealing God's plan for all people.

Job's friends meant to help him. They had a deep care for him. They wanted him to be free from this suffering. So as philosophical doctors they attempt to diagnose Job's problem and they probe into his life. With each suggestion Job suggests that they are not applying the right medicine. It is good medicine but for the wrong situation.

This psalm continues the theme of the the previous psalm of the prosperity of the wicked. This psalm starts with applied instruction for the believer and how to respond when wickedness seems to have all the advantages. One of the most common problem is for a believer to burn in their soul about the wicked. The psalmist commands believers to stop destroying themselves.

This psalm is rather abrupt and strong right from the start. The wicked are abundant in all of their wickedness. They are hard to avoid in this life. However, God's abundance is unmatched by anything in the universe. His lovingkindness and righteous are beyond our understanding. As such, we should then go to him in prayer as we are faced with wickedness in this life.

Joseph was as low as he could go. He was a servant to prisoners in prison. However, in all of that time the Lord was with Joseph. Joseph was a testimony to God and when giving opportunity reflected glory back to his God. He serves as an example of one who maintains his faith in the face of great adversity.

Job finally speaks after seven days of silence. What does the cry of a righteous man sound like after devastation. This study looks at what strong lament looks like.

The hardest part for most readers of Job is the debate between Job and his friends. Do you look in detail at every verse or do look at the overall argument in each speech? This study will help move the debate along and make more easily understood.
