Here is your reading assignment for this week. Remember, the (bold references in parenthesis) are your cross-references: Job 1 – 21 (Job 1:7=1 Pet. 5:8 / Job 1:9-12=Luke 22:31 / contrast Job 4:7 with John 9:1-3)
I know this is a lot of chapters but you can do it! Make it a point to set aside 15 minutes each day and you should be able to get through it all. Or, if you prefer, plan on reading 3 chapters every day, starting today.
Job is an amazing book and teaches us about God's sovereignty, Satan's limits, the purpose of pain, and friendship, just to name a few! You don't want to miss this stuff, it is more important to your life than any other reading assignment you will read this week.
One word of warning: A big portion of what you will read this week is Job's "friends" speeches. Don't assume that just because these words are in the Bible that they were speaking for God. In fact we will see next week how God reprimands them for their words. Be discerning as you read and try to think of ways that their words contradict other portions of scripture.
Check the blog later this week for some further study helps. Happy Reading!!
