It is essential that we understand the historical and theological nature behind the story of Job. While the book was likely written by a Jew and for a Jewish audience, none of the characters in the book are ethnic Jews because the nation of Israel did not yet exist.
Joy is found in God Alone. God causes the Israelites to have joy and commit themselves to joyous praise. He teaches them where to locate their joy and how to have joy that isn’t based on feelings or circumstances but based on an everlasting relationship with Him.
The people of God decide that they want to make a covenant(a promise to God) and they want to do life differently. They want to handle relationships, resources, and work God’s way. In this message we learn how to make God the center of everything.
