2-9-25 Biblical-Literacy
Mark continued the series: Lessor Known Women of the Bible. This week’s
lesson focused on Job and his daughters. The lesson had three sections:
1. The journey through suffering – Job, a righteous man whom God had
blessed with divine provision lost everything, including his children, health,
and relationships. God responds to Job’s questions by asking questions.
2. The significance of restoration – When Job prayed for his friends, he was
restored. He received double portions as God’s favor. The three daughters
are named, described, celebrated. Names were prophecies in antiquity.
-Jemimah. New beginning like dove after flood
-Kezia. Valuable and beauty
-Keren-happuch True beauty is a divine blessing
Points for home:
We don’t understand suffering
Be patient until the end
Suffering can transform
Listen to Mark teach the wisdom of God exceeds our understanding. True
wisdom often begin with humility. We will never understand God fully, but
we can understand him truly. Faith first, then recovery. God’s restoration
exceeds our expectations.
