Takeaways:
God Speaks
- God silences Job by sharing his resume of creation.
- God is the moral standard of the world.
- Job was a righteous man, but not perfect.
- Humility is not thinking of ourselves as if we are no good, humility is a proper awareness of who we are in light of who God is.
Job Responds

- Beliefs and behaviors are linked. Our behaviors flow from our beliefs, whether true or not

Discussion Questions:
