Today we hear the Lord speak to Job and the friends. He reminds them that they do not have power or wisdom compared to God, and they may not accuse Him of being unfair. He tells the friends that they were wrong, and Job was right, and He will forgive them only when Job prays for them. 

The Lord then heals Job and gives him more than he started with.

Today we see Bildad remind Job that no man can be truly righteous. Job answers with a declaration of God's power, how to find wisdom, how he misses the good times and how he has not committed the sins they have accused him of. He then invites God to answer him.

Today Eliphaz gives Job advice to get rid of his wickedness and come back to God. Job responds by explaining his belief that God would understand his innocence if only he could speak with Him. He also expresses great faith by stating that when this test is through, he will 'come forth as gold'.

Today we see Job responding to Bildad and Zophar as they continue to accuse him of wickedness. Even in the midst of his pain and suffering, Job makes an amazing declaration of faith! "I know that my Redeemer lives ... and I myself will see Him with my own eyes."

Today we see Job's third friend, Zophar, speak to Job as someone who knows God's thoughts and reasons. Job becomes quite perturbed, and reminds him that he does not speak for God. He also reminds us that we can question God without losing hope and faith in Him.
