=Job's Ultimate Job=

*Job 1:1-3
"1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.
2 He had seven sons and three daughters,
3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East."

Important Events in Job's Life:
1. His Prominent Status (Job 1:3)
"3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East."

*Job 1:1
"1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil."

His ultimate job: Worshipper

*Job 1:5
"5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would send and have them purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, "Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." This was Job's regular custom."

His ultimate job: Prayer Warrior

*Job 1:8
"8 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil."

His ultimate job: Servant of God

2. His Trials (Job 1:9-12, 20-21)
"9 "Does Job fear God for nothing?" Satan replied.

10 "Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.
1

1 But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face."
12 The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger." Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.

20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship
21 and said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised."

His ultimate job: Servant

3. His Failures (Job 2:13)
"13 Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they saw how great his suffering was."

"Pag nagsink in na 'yung sakit at pighati, bibigay ka na."

*Job 3:1
"1 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth."

*Job 42:5-6
"5 My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
6 Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes."
8 So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.

4. His Rewards (Job 42:12-13)
"12 The LORD blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys.
13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters."

*Job 42:16-17
"16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
17 And so he died, old and full of years."
