When the Wicked Prosper

Job 23:1-24:25, NASB

In Job 23:3 Job makes this statement: Oh, that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His seat! In effect, Job is asking,Where is God? Interesting. How do we respond when the wicked prosper? Why does God permit/allow the wicked to prosper?

1. If Job Could Find God, What Would He Do (Job 23:3)?

• Verse 4- I would lay my ________ before Him.
• Verse 5- I would get God to _____________ me.
• Verse 6- I would __________________ with God.

Job 24:1 says; Why are not times of judgment kept by the Almighty, and why do those who know Him never see His days?

2. Where Is God (Job 23:8-9)?

• Have you ever felt this way?
• One of the GREAT LESSONS of this book: __________ God even when you cannot understand why heartache enters the arch of your life.

3. Who Is He (Job 23:13-16)?

• He is ________________________.
• He is solely __________________.
• What does God know? ________________.
• God can never be ________________ within our limited concepts or by our human vocabulary.
• Isaiah 55:8-9.

YOU MUST DECIDE:

What will you do now? Will you give your life to Christ this very instant? You cannot save yourself. You must look to the ONLY one who can give you a right standing with God- JESUS CHRIST.
