If we get anything from the book of Job it is that our God is <strong>BIG</strong> &#8211; and we can <span style="text-decoration: underline;">trust </span>Him. Though Job&#8217;s friends comfort him at first (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job%202%3A11-13&amp;version=ESV">⁠Job 2:11-13⁠</a>), they slowly turn from good, to the bad and the ugly.

We need to listen, to those who are suffering, and listen to the Holy Spirit. For, where do we find wisdom? We wisdom by trusting it in a great God. Just as Job recognized, God has a plan (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=rom%208%3A28&amp;version=ESV">⁠Romans 8:28⁠</a>), and no matter how hard life is our redeemer lives (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job%2019%3A25&amp;version=ESV">⁠Job 19:25⁠</a>).</p><p>The post <a href="https://liferoads.org/sermons/out-of-the-whirlwind-week-2/">Out of the Whirlwind – Week 2</a> first appeared on <a href="https://liferoads.org">Liferoads Church</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>We are social creatures. We need friends (⁠Proverbs 18:24⁠). Though we may have many acquaintances and FB friends, these are not the friends we&#8217;re talking about. We need friends that give good advice and challenge our foolish wanderings (⁠Proverbs 13:20⁠). Sure, you are influential, but more importantly, you are influenced. Be aware of the influences around you (⁠1 Corinthians 15:33⁠)(⁠Proverbs 27:6, 17⁠). That doesn&#8217;t mean we expect perfection in our friendships; we all stumble from time to time.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are social creatures. We need friends (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=prov%2018%3A24&amp;version=ESV">⁠Proverbs 18:24⁠</a>). Though we may have many acquaintances and FB friends, these are not the friends we&#8217;re talking about. We need friends that give good advice and challenge our foolish wanderings (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=prov%2013%3A20&amp;version=ESV">⁠Proverbs 13:20⁠</a>). Sure, you are influential, but more importantly, you are <strong>influenced</strong>. Be aware of the influences around you (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Cor%2015%3A33&amp;version=ESV">⁠1 Corinthians 15:33⁠</a>)(<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Prov%2027%3A6%2C%2017&amp;version=ESV">⁠Proverbs 27:6, 17⁠</a>). That doesn&#8217;t mean we expect perfection in our friendships; we all stumble from time to time. There is only one perfect friendship, and that is our unique relationship with Jesus. He came to earth and suffered so that we can have a one-of-a-kind friendship with Him (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2015%3A12-15&amp;version=ESV">⁠John 15:12-15⁠</a>), what a beautiful invitation!</p>
