Scripture: Job 13-31 Title: Job Begs an Audience With God Worship leader: Tyler Estes Speaker: Steve Estes #job #God Job 13:3,13-14:22: Job to his friends I desire to speak to the Almighty and to argue my case with God. Keep silent and let me speak; then let come to me what may. Why do I put myself in jeopardy and take my life in my hands?

It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas--no wonder my words have been impetuous...What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What prospects, that I should be patient? Do I have the strength of stone? Is my flesh bronze? (Job 6:1-3, 11-12) Does not man have hard service on earth? Are not his days like those of a hired man? Like a slave longing for the evening shadows, or a hired man waiting eagerly for his wages, so I have been allotted months of futility, and nights of misery have been assigned to me. When I lie down I think, "How long before I get up?" The night drags on, and I toss till dawn. My body...
