Job Lesson 2 | Job's Lament | Job 3 | Kristin Tabb 2.14.24
Thursday Feb 15, 2024
Thursday Feb 15, 2024
The lament that Job offers up in Job 3 can be divided into two sections by noting the parallelism in the Hebrew poetry. The first section is marked by the repetition of the word “let” throughout (verses 3-10), and the second section is marked by the repetition of the word “Why” (v.11-26). The “Let” section functions as a curse in retrospect that mourns Job’s birth; the “Why” section mourns that God has not taken Job’s life.

Steadfast in Suffering, James 5:7–12
Life in this world, life after the “great catastrophe” of sin is hard. Will it always be this way? How do we remain steadfast?
This week’s text, James 5:7–12, gives us a theme or banner for a faith-filled life in a broken world: patience. What does patient fortitude look like in your situation?
- Clinging to the promises of God in the middle of the “invisible” season of waiting.
- Establishing your heart to follow Christ and to do whatever the will of God holds for you.
- Calling to mind and living in light of the soon return of the Lord Christ.
- Humbly repenting of a grumbling heart and seeking to point out evidences of grace in one another instead.
- Following in the footsteps of other patient and hope-filled believers and running with perseverance the race that is set before us. (Find a treasure trove of audio messages sharing such stories here: Biography Messages by John Piper)
- Trusting the merciful, compassionate purposes of God even when you don’t understand.
- Being a woman of your word and trusting God for the outcome.
We press on in patient fortitude, knowing that “when [we] have stood the test, [we] will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him” (James 1:12). May the Lord find us and keep us faithful.
