Questions for Family/Individual

Do you know anyone who talks too much? When someone is talking all the time, what are they NOT doing?
Have you heard many opinions about COVID-19? What are some of them?
In Job 1 and 2, Job lost everything but his own life (children, houses, business, health, happy marriage, etc.). In Job 3-37, Job and all his friends share their opinions on what God was doing. All of them had wrong opinions. What does that reveal about our constant talking? What does this say about always trying to figure out â€œWhy?â€?
After a long list of questions from the LORD (Job 38-41), Job realizes he should have just kept his mouth shut and let God be God (see Job 42:1-6). How can this help us when we go through pain and suffering?
Read Job 42:5. Why is this such an incredible insight? What does this tell us about why God allows suffering?

All of them had wrong opinions. What does that reveal about our constant talking? What does this say about always trying to figure out â€œWhy?â€?
After a long list of questions from the LORD (Job 38-41), Job realizes he should have just kept his mouth shut and let God be God (see Job 42:1-6). How can this help us when we go through pain and suffering? How can this help us when we and others experience unexplainable seasons?
How might Jobâ€™s conclusion (Job 42:5) shed light on the purpose of pain and suffering?
Who in your group/life is going through difficulty? How can you be intentionally present with them?
