PERSONAL QUESTIONS:


A.) Often we help those who are constantly harming themselves. Why do you believe we do this and is there someone in your life that you’re praying for or helping in spite of them harming themselves? (For example, a drug addict, being abusive, criminal behavior, gossiping, etc.)


B.) Along with Satan, the book of Job mentions Divine beings presenting themselves before God. Who do you think they are and why are they coming?


C.) Out of the calamities that happened to Job, which is the worst and why? Put yourself in his position when answering the question.


D.) Often we forget that Job was married. How do you believe she felt to see her children, possessions, money, and husband all get destroyed or harmed? How would you feel if something similar happened to one of your family members?


E.) God looked upon Job with favor knowing that he was an upright and great person. Why then would God allow extreme pain to come to a loyal servant?
