Job 34:35 "Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom."

This sermon from American Pastor J.D. Montieth highlights the most foundational and important lessons in life from the oldest book in the Bible, the Book of Job. This sermon, the thirteenth in the series on the Book of Job, Elihu: Job 34:35 to 35:16, teaches the importance of bridling the tongue and the significance and necessity of suffering in the Christian life: “What Job both said of himself, as being righteous, and what he said of God, as denying him justice, were both notably in error. It is also common among men that when they speak of God, the words they utter, and the ideas they infer, are rarely inspired of the Lord. Yet, a lack of any true wisdom and knowledge of the Lord, does not stop most from speaking about a God they know little of. Much confusion also would leave the Church, if those not inspired by the Holy Spirit would hold their peace until they possessed true spiritual enlightenment.

“Nothing is more important to keep in its original and unadulterated form than the spoken Word, either written or inspired through the power of the Holy Spirit. For by it men are saved, and by it, is God made known. Job therefore was worthy of be­ing corrected for his words, since both life and death, lay in the power of the tongue. Observe as well that only right and good speech, will produce for a man or woman, a path to a blessed and good life.

“What Job did not know, was that no sin can be properly confessed, or atoned for, until it is known. Thus, where there is ignorance of sin, there cannot be full and complete repentance, which alone will produce forgiveness. It is also a very foolish thing to judge anything as being right or wrong, simply by wheth­er or not, it is profitable to us. Observe as well, that many have been called by the Lord to suffer for His sake, and surely not to have a more blessed physical existence. Moses was called to suffer affliction with the people of God. The Apostle Paul also was called by the Lord Jesus to suffer for His name. Simply because most heavenly calls, will entail with them, a large degree of human suf­fering, though at the end of them, there is promise of eternal blessing.

“Though God remains invisible, still He should be trusted. Though Job could not see God overseeing his life, this did not mean that justice would not prevail. It is good then to place our trust in an invis­ible God, Who though He is not seen to us by the human eye, still retains the power to execute proper justice and judg­ment in the earth. Consider as well that there are so many spiritual problems that can be overcome, simply by trusting in the Lord. So much peace in the heart that can be gained, by trusting in God’s plan of predestination, and protection for our lives. He also, who will keep his soul trusting in the Lord, will save his heart from much spiritual confusion.”
