Job 38:1-11, 42:3

Thoughts:       Job has suffered almost every possible loss – his children, his health, and his property.
            Four “friends” have come to “comfort” him. Their idea of comforting consisted of sharp questioning and accusations of wrong-doing, until Job exclaimed, “Miserable comforters are ye all!”
            Now in chapter 38, God speaks directly to Job.
            “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?”
            And Job replies humbly, “I have uttered that I understood not, things too wonderful for me which I knew not.”
Discussion: What do we discuss that we know not?                                      
Activity: Dazzle people by knowing the names of Job’s three daughters, who were the fairest in the land. John Wesley’s youngest sister was named for one of them.
