Doctors Bury Their Mistakes Series

Have you watched the Presidential Candidate Debates? Here we have individuals that inspire to hold the highest position of our country and possibly of the world and how do they act? It is ridiculous. The mudslinging, insults, and just poor behavior makes me ashamed for them. We all need to understand that all that enter into arguments also enter into temptation to magnify themselves and vilify their brethren more than is fit, and therefore ought to watch and pray against the workings of such sinful behavior.

We all have to stop and think about this. As our Master and King Lord Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 16 verse 26, ““For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” I mean for what is this all sought? It is all going to burn. I am quite satisfied thank you very much in that I belong to Jesus. Let us all cling to the words of the apostle Paul as he recorded to the Romans chapter 5, “And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.”

In our lives we get so mixed up with situations that we overlook The One Who Is in charge of all things. He Is the One we should run constant too. Job wakes up to this truth and now turns from them to God. He talks to himself as well as to these friends. He says, "I can see for myself that there is no satisfaction in talking to you. O that I might have liberty to reason with God! He would not be as hard upon me as you three are.’’

3 But I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

The King Himself will perhaps give audience to a poor petitioner with more mildness, patience, and condescension, than the servants will. Job would rather bring all his concerns to God Himself than with men.

I want to add one thought since our Precious Holy Spirit has brought these truths forth. It is this. Some people go to a man and it is called ‘confession’. If you are a child of God Almighty wouldn’t you like to go directly to the Supreme Holy One in all things instead of going to some who claims he is a stand in? Boy O boy are we in confusing dire straits.

4 But you forgers of lies, you are all worthless physicians. 5 Oh, that you would be silent, and it would be your wisdom! 6 Now hear my reasoning, and heed the pleadings of my lips. 7 Will you speak wickedly for God, and talk deceitfully for Him? 8 Will you show partiality for Him? Will you contend for God?

Job condemns them for their unjust and uncharitable treatment of him. They falsely accused him, and that was unjust: You are forgers of lies. They framed a wrong hypothesis concerning the divine Providence of God, and misrepresented it, as if it did never remarkably afflict any but wicked men in this world, and thence they drew a false judgment concerning Job, that he was certainly a hypocrite. For this gross mistake, both in doctrine and application, he thinks an indictment of forgery lies against them. To speak lies is bad enough, but to forge them with contrivance and deliberation is much worse. These so called friends basically deceived him, and that was unkind. They undertook his cure, and pretended to be his physicians; but they were all physicians of no value.
