Job's Wisdom for Living

Job's Wisdom for Living from a Lecture by Dr. Alyce M. McKenzie:

  • Sometimes the path of wisdom lies in going against well meaning advice of others.
  • We are not the center of the universe.
  • The best motive for obedience to God is love of God.
  • The presence of suffering does not mean the absence of God.
  • God will not allow suffering to destroy our relationship with God.
  • Offer help and comfort to those who are suffering. [Keep] our theories as to what they did to bring it on themselves [to ourselves].
