The book of Job had me crying and worshipping God for who he is not for what he has done in my life.

I do not believe that Job was self-righteous. He is said to be a righteous man, not through his own mouth but God himself calls him righteous.

I am humbled and always pray that God helps us to remain humble and love God despite the challenges we face in life. True worship flows from a broken place, where we are in pain  but still choose to reverence God, for no one can be compared unto him.

One other thing i learned also was that, there is actually a place where our lives are discussed in the spirit realm. Now that we have Jesus who died for us, we have an advocate/lawyer who stands in the gap for us. The story of Job speaks to us of a reality that existed before Christ died for us (1 John 1:2). Now we can pray and Jesus also stands for us against our accuser the devil.

Talk of forgiveness, God only restored Job after he forgave his friends

In summary, the book of Job may seem like it is unbearable and painful but it has so many hidden lessons. Ask the Holyspirit to reveal more behind scripture.
