Job 42:10
When God Turns It Around
University of Tennessee vs. UCLA.
Everyone thought that UT would win by several TDs.
UCLA had a freshman quarterback who threw 4 interceptions in the first half.
After Halftime the QB began to make completions instead of interceptions.
The game becomes tight with UT trailing by 4 points.
UT eventually won the game in OT by a field goal.
They asked the coach what did you tell the QB during halftime?
I told him that when I was in college I played QB and I once threw 4 interceptions in a game, but we came back and won the game.
I am bringing this up because somebody may have some *moral turnovers* in your life.
You’ve have done some *things *that you should not have done, and made *mistakes* that you should not have made.
But I have some *Good News* for you I serve a *God* who is in the *turn around* business.
God is able to give you some *victories* even after you have made some *mistakes*.
I want to look at a God who is able to turn things around under the backdrop of a person named *Job*.
In *Chapter 1* of the Book of Job it indicates that Job was a man who tried to do things right.
He was a righteous man, upright, who tried to do things right.
He was a blameless person who avoided evil, made sacrifices who tried to get himself together.
He was not a *‘player’*, but a man with one wife and ten children.
As a result of trying to do things right he had a big house, was prosperous, and a multimillionaire, with cattle, donkeys and sheep, and houses.
His financial portfolio was doing really well.
He was in good health because he tried to do everything right.
But even though he tried to do everything right, all of a sudden everything went bad for him.
· /All 10 of his children died.
/
· /His marriage became miserable.
/
· /His wife started talking foolish.
/
· /Job went from good health to bad. /
· /From prosperity to poverty.
/
· /He had sores from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet.
/
Here is a man who tried to do everything right but everything went wrong for him.
If you don’t remember anything else remember this based on the Word of God found in the book of Job /“bad things can happen to good people”/.
Stop being shocked when negative and bad things happen.
Stop being surprised when you go through tribulations because bad things can happen to good people.
More than likely I’m preaching to somebody who tried to do things right.
It does not mean that you’re perfect or have never made a mistake.
But you have at least tried to be right.
You have given your life to Christ that’s right.
United with somebody’s Church.
Gone to school that’s right.
You did not drop out like so many others.
No you tried to do things right.
You have not tried to be a */‘player’/* or */playette/*, but tried to have some purity about your relationships.
You’ve tried to go to work.
You didn’t try to manipulate and use people.
You were trying to do things right, but if the truth be told many things have gone wrong.
Issues in your relationships.
Fractures in your friendships.
Sickness has invaded your home.
Things got so bad for Job that his own wife told him to */“curse God and die”/*.
It is interesting that when you are going through problems everyone has a say on what you are going through.
His wife is telling him, /“Listen our marriage is messed up, the kids are gone, you’re sick, things look horrible.
It is time for you to curse God and die.”/
Mrs.
Job believed that the solution to suffering is suicide.
Watch this she believed that the answer to suffering is to take your own life.
I have to beg to differ with Mrs. Job.
Suicide is not the answer.
Suicide is a permanent solution, your problem is only temporary.
Why would you use a permanent solution to a temporary problem?
Whatever you are going through now, it took a change to get you in that situation.
It will take a change to get you out of that situation.
You have to do like Job /‘all the days of my appointed time I am going to wait until my change comes’/.
Why?
/The Lord God gives and the Lord God takes away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
/
But it was not just his wife that did this talking.
He had three friends who showed up in his suffering, and they told Job, /“Listen, something is wrong here.
You must have sinned some where.
You must have so secret sin because God would not let all these calamities come down like this unless you did something wrong.
You have been playing holy in front of us, but you must live hellish behind the scene.
You show up in holy places making sacrifices, but you must be sinning in private places when you are not around us”/.
They begin to tell him that the reason you are going through this is because God is punishing you for your sins.
Let me slow it down right here.
It’s interesting to me that most folks can’t figure out what God is doing in their own life.
But when you are going through troubles they want to tell you what God is doing in your own life.
And these are groups of friends who believed that Job was suffering because of sin.
They believed that all suffering is a result of sin.
I submit to you that these are friends who are wrong about God.
If you sin you will suffer, but not all suffering is a result of sin.
You can mind your own business, and make up in your mind that you are going to be in the will of God, and suffering can still come your way.
You can suffer without sinning and this is what his friend could not get into their heads.
Because they begin to confuse, misuse, abuse, and accuse Job.
This is not all the talking that went on.
Job did some talking himself.
Things got so bad in Job’s life that he started questioning God.
I know that someone can identify with this.
That stuff can get so bad and difficult in your life that you want to call God on the carpet.
There is some stuff that you want to get straight with the Lord.
Listen to Job, */“If I could find God I have some questions for Him.”/* Look a this finite little creature trying to argue with an infinite God.
You better be careful arguing with God because He has the power to cut that argument off at anytime.
*/“If I could find God.
If He would show up.
He hasn’t been around in my pain.
I have some questions for him.”/*
It’s like Job was taking his puny fists and pointing them in the face of God.
As if God was hiding Himself from him.
Let me say this to.
There is nothing wrong with questioning God, for even Jesus did that.
While dying on the cross*/, “My God, My God Why?”/*
And if we tell the truth in here all of us at one point or another have questioned God.
