“Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?” (Job 8:1-2).
In this week’s lesson, our focus is on Bildad who was one of three friends who came to comfort him after learning of the tragedies he had experience. Job had finished lamenting his condition (se Job chapter 3) when Eliphaz addressed Job laments (see Job chapters 4 &5) charging that the innocent or sinless never suffer. Job then responded to Eliphaz in chapter 6 pleading for mercy from his friends instead of condemnation. Then in chapter 8, Eliphaz takes over charging Job’s suffering is a result of some sin he had committed. This reply presents Bildad as a blunt and unfeeling man. He had failed to hear Job’s cry for compassion (see Job 6:13-14, 26).
1. When we question others relationship with God, make sure you know what you’re talking about (Job 8:1-4).
2. Just because we speak truths about God does not mean we are speaking that truth at the proper time (Job 8:5-7).
3. Remembering how God dealt with our ancestors does not mean that he will deal with us the same way (Job 8:8-10).
4. God does support those who are upright and He will destroy the wicked, but He does it at His own discretion because He is sovereign (Job 8:20-22).
