Blessed is the man
who walketh not in the council dan godlike,
nor standeth in the way of sinners
nor sitteth in seated scornful
but his delight is on the law of the LORD
and on his law
doth he meditate. Day and. Night
(00:38):

planted by the rivers of water

and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Welcome
to the Bread of the Word Podcast,
a podcast striving to feast on god's Word
(01:00):
and let the Bible speak to us all
let us,
as a former generation said
go add fontaise
to the fountain
and be nourished and sustained by all that God is
let's dig in together
(01:23):
hello, welcome back to the Breatherword podcast
where we go add
fontes to the fountain to the Word of God
to be nourished and sustained by all
the God is as he's revealed Himself to us.
My name is Tyler
and we are going to be concluding
chapter 29 in the Book of Job
been a little sporadic lately
I've needed to take a bit of a mental
hiatus, but we are back
we are going to be
(01:44):
getting back into the regular swing of things
and so picking up where we left off in chapter 29,
verse 14,
Job is reflecting on his
his earlier years when he was
he was walking the blessings of God When he was
walking in wisdom
(02:04):
That he was seen walking in wisdom
That there was much that his
wisdom benefited other people.
We see a lot of biographical data
on Job in this chapter
talking about
that he was honored by many from different
social statuses
that he people listen to what he had to say
there was reverence and respect for
what he brought to the table so to speak
(02:25):
and at first 14
he says, I put on righteousness and, it closed me.
My judgment was as a robe and a diadem
and now we get to the rest of the chapter.
These are the words of God.
I was eyes to the blind and feet was I to the lame
I was a father to the poor
and the cause which I knew not
(02:46):
I searched out,
and I break the jaws
of the wicked And pluck the spoil out of his teeth
then I said, I shall die in, my nest
and I shall multiply my days
as the sand my root was spread out by the waters
And the dew lay all night upon my branch.
My glory was freshened me and my bow
was renewed in my hand
(03:07):
unto me. Men gave year and waited and kept silence
at my council.
After my words they speak not again
and my speech dropped upon them, and they, waited for me
as for the rain and they opened their mouth wide.
As for the latter rain
if I laughed on them.
They believed it not, and the light of, my countenance
that cast not down.
(03:28):
I chose out their way
And sat chief And dwelt as a king in the army
As one that comforted the mourners
and what we see a little bit more of
in this section as we saw with the last chunk
is that Job has
in his his past when Job was
not in the midst of his suffering
when Job was doing the things he was doing before
(03:51):
everything that happened in the Book of Job happened
we see that He is a sort of
almost a champion for the downtrod and for the
for the oppressed for the poor for the vulnerable,
and this is all stuff that the Old Testament lays out
time and time again before us.
It's center of the Book of Amos.
We see this in the Torah
all around the place with honoring the poor
(04:13):
welcoming the stranger
with all of this being an outworking
of the law of good wisdom
when we read in Ecclesiastes about
I looked and saw the tears of the oppress
and that they had none to comfort them
we get this idea
in the Old Testament. The guy cares very deeply
(04:34):
about not just the vertical but the horizontal
and that's not social gospel.
We're not going into any of that
but the idea that the wisdom God gives us
branches out to other people.
That is, that's the kind of the theme
of what we call the wisdom literature
in the Old Testament,
we look at
Ecclesiastes, we look at Proverts when we look at Job.
(04:57):
All of this is getting us
to look at wisdom the way God sees it
that wisdom is not just intelligence
it's not just head knowledge, but wisdom, in' the Hebrew.
It's essentially skill
that to be wise in god's eyes is to live
skillfully in the world that He has made,
(05:17):
and part of what that
entails is our dealings with other people,
with people who are
not as well off as we are
and so Job spends a lot of time talking about
the people that he was
a blessing too.
I was a father to the poor,
that I was eyes to the blind and I was feet to the lame
(05:38):
and this is just flesh
now
more of what we saw at the beginning of Job that he is
a man who is perfect and upright, that he
fears God and issue with evil
it's not just that he
knew about these things
but this is the fullness of what the Old Testament is
constantly
(05:59):
nailing the Israelites for
(01:00:02):
is that their wisdom doesn't go out
their wisdom does not branch out into sanctification
that there's not that
that outworking of this to other people,
and Job is kind of the picture
of what their wisdom should have been,
and Jesus says in the Book of Luke
that wisdom is vindicated by.
(01:00:23):
What it produces,
it's vindicated by its children so to speak
and so what is the fruit of job's wisdom
what is the fruit of the wisdom of Job that we're told
fearth God issue with evil
that he was a father to the poor
and the cause which he knew not he searched out
he break the jaws of the wicked
he plucked the spoil out of his teeth
(01:00:46):
this is my root was spread out by the waters and that
is a phrase that comes up again
in other books of the Old Testament.
So if we jump over to Jeremiah 17
we find a very similar phrase,
but Jeremiah 17
(01:01:09):
picking up in verse
7
he says Blessed is the man
that trusteth in the LORD and whose hope the LORD is
for he shall be as a tree
planted by the waters
that spreadeth out her roots by the river
and shall not see when he cometh,
but her leaf shall be green and shall not be careful.
(01:01:29):
In the year of drought,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit
this sounds like the kind of thing that Elf has
Bill dead and Zofar
would have
thrown at Job if they have been written at the time
the idea that the man who trusts in God
will
be planted by the river that he will not be careful
when heat cometh.
When the hard times come, it won't seem to bother him
(01:01:54):
but we're told' in job.
That there's a little more nuance to it than that
that sometimes
godly people suffer,
but they're still planted by the river
this is my root was spread out by the waters
and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
Jeremiah 17 does not
cease to be true when we read the Book of Job
(01:02:18):
that even though Job is suffering even though
things have gotten incredibly hard
even though he has lost much,
even though he has at times questioned
if God cares and will continue
to wrestle with where God is
in all of this throughout the rest of the book.
At the end of the day he is still
(01:02:39):
a tree planted by the water
that spreadeth out her roots by the river
and this is
a picture that's given in parallel with another picture
if we back up a couple verses
to verse 5, thus saith the LORD,
Cursed be the man that trusteth in man
(01:03:01):
and maketh flesh his arm
and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
A lot of qualifications for the same kind of person
is to trust in man is to not trust in God
in comparison with blessed
the man who trusteth in the LORD in whose hope
the LORD is this
is, for he shall be
like the Heath in the desert like the
(01:03:22):
shrubs in the desert
and shall not see when good cometh,
but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness
in assault land
and not inhabited
so we've got a pretty
stark picture in Jeremiah 17, and
reality is this is about Judah.
This is about the Kingdom of Judah who has
(01:03:43):
disregarded the ways of God,
who has gone their own way
who has
time and time
again demonstrated that they are the first picture,
and this is part of a much broader section
of proclaiming judgment
on the Kingdom of Judah,
judgment that culminates in their exile
(01:04:04):
that culminates in them being taken
from the from the land of Israel, being taken from
where the Temple is taken away from everything
they know, all their traditions all of, their heritage,
and they're taken to a country that' does not
care for the things of God
that has no desire to live for God,
(01:04:24):
and yet God is still in their midst.
But
what God is establishing is that they are the first
picture, not the latter,
and they are the first picture now
and it's part of why they're being
taken away into captivity in the hopes that someday
by god's Grace, they will be the second picture.
They will be the blessed man that trusteth in the Lord
(01:04:47):
and whose hope the Lord is,
and in order for
him to be their hope there has to be no other hope
and so he takes them away from what they know
he takes them away from
what they've grown up in from their heritage'
from all of the traditions that they've
been surrounded. By some of them their whole lives
for generations
(01:05:08):
they've been around the temple
they've been around this' they've been around the law
and yet they're going to be
stricken away from all of that
and they will live in a nation that doesn't honor God
and it is God who did that
but this is a picture
that harkens to another passage.
(01:05:29):
We go to Psalm Chapter 1.
We also have a similar
bit of content.
Psalm 1 says blessed is the man
that walketh not in the council of the ungodly
nor standeth in the way of sinners
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful
(01:05:51):
but his delight is on the law of the LORD
and upon his law doth he meditate day and night
and he shall be like a tree
(02:00:00):
planted by the rivers of water
which beareth
which bringeth forth his fruit into season
his leaf also shall not wither,
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The wicked
are not so, the ungodly are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind drives away
therefore the ungodly says the psalm shall not stand
(02:00:24):
in the judgment
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous
for the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous
but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
I was talking with a friend
about this passage recently and he
described it as the Old Testament Beatitudes.
This is a description of the kind of person
(02:00:44):
that God blesses.
Is one who delights
in the word of God who delights in the ways of God
who meditates on his law day and night
and the kind of person that would do that
is the kind of person who is planted
his like a tree planted by the rivers of water
(02:01:06):
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season
his leave shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth
shall prosper.
Job
does the things that he's listed,
and it's not those things that make him good
it's not those things that make him
righteous or upright
these are things he does because
he's righteous because he's upright
(02:01:29):
because he is god's man.
These are the things that god's men do
so he was a father to the poor
and the cause which he did not know. He searched out
he broke the jaws of the Wick And he
plucked the spoil out of their teeth
his root was spread out by the waters
And the dew lay all night upon his branch
(02:01:51):
unto him. Men gave ear
and waited and kept silent at his counsel.
After his words they spoke not again
and his speech dropped upon them.
They waited for him as for the rain
and they opened their mouth wide. As for the latter rain
(02:02:13):
he dwelt as a king in the army
and is one that comforteth the mourners
Joe does all this
not to become righteous, but because he is righteous,
these are things that God. Has made him to be.
These are things that
(02:02:35):
we can only be
by the Grace of God
these aren't the things we can conjure up in ourselves
things that we can cause ourselves to be of our own
willpower.
This is the result of God.
The sanctification says okay how do I be this
because this is what God is like?
This is what Jesus Christ modeled for us
(02:02:59):
as the ideal man
as the second Adam,
that this is what the man ought to be,
that Jesus invites us into the new humanity
where we look at what God delights in
and say blessed are the poor and spirit
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
blessed are those that mourn for
(02:03:20):
they shall be comforted,
blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth
blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see
God,
and so our sanctification
causes us to look at ourselves and look at
Christ and go.
How can we be more like that?
How can we be a father to the poor? How can we be
(02:03:42):
eyes to the blind and feet to the lame
it's only by the power of God.
It is only by the Spirit working within us
conforming us to the image of Christ day by day
moment by moment decision by decision
because we are predestined not to go to heaven,
we are predestined to be conformed
to the image of Christ.
(02:04:05):
That is,
that is. Prophecy in. Motion right there that is.
Something that has been in the mind of God since
before the foundations of the earth
is having a people out of every tribe tongue in nation
that bear his image on the earth
job gives us a
(02:04:26):
glimmer
of something that was yet to be realized,
something that was yet to come.
Job gives us a shadow
of something that is fully beheld in Christ,
and so we don't look at Job, we don't look at
the good thing that Job does
(02:04:48):
and go.
I need to be like Job.
We look at this and go. I need to be like Christ.
This is who Christ is
this is a foreshadowing of the character of Christ
and this character can be ours
by the work of God. We go over to Collisions. Chapter 3
(02:05:13):
collagens chapter 3
starts off with these words
if ye then be risen with Christ,
that is that we are united with Christ,
that salvation of we are in Christ
in his life in his death in his resurrection.
(02:05:36):
If he then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God,
set your affection
on things above, not on things on the earth
for ye are dead
and your life is hid with Christ in God.
(02:05:58):
Colosion is 220
says I am crucified with Christ and I no longer live
(03:00:02):
and the life that I now live in the body.
I live by faith to the Son of God
who loved me and gave himself for me
and so you are dead
and when Christ, who is our life,
shall appear
(03:00:23):
then shall he also appear with him in glory.
Mortify, therefore your members, which are upon the earth
fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection
evil, concupiescence,
covetousness, which is idolatry
for which these things say
the wrath of God,
(03:00:43):
cometh on the children of disobedience
in the which he also walks sometime
when he lived in them.
But now also, he says put off
all these anger wrath, malice, blasphemy,
fill the communication out of your mouth
lie not one to another,
(03:01:03):
seeing that EFP put off the old man with his deeds
and have put on the new man,
which is renewed in knowledge
after the image of him that created him
that is, Christ
put on the new man
through Christ,
take on
the character of Christ,
(03:01:25):
put it on as a garment, be clothed in his righteousness
as Job said I put on righteousness, and it, clothed me.
It was as a robe and a diadem
and put on the new man
which is renewed in knowledge
after the image of him that created him
where there is neither Greek nor Jew.
(03:01:46):
Circumcision nor uncircumcision
barbarian, Scythian bond nor free.
But Christ is all,
and in all
put on, therefore as the elect of, God, holy and beloved,
bowels of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind meekness
(03:02:07):
long suffering,
forbearing one another and forgiving one another
if any man have a quarrel against any
even as Christ forgave you,
so also do ye?
And above all these things put on charity,
which is the bond
of perfectness.
That the core of why Joe does what he does
(03:02:27):
is to love in the way that God does
that. This. Is why we put on righteousness. This. Is why we
can be a father to the poor
and eyes of the blind and feet to the lame is
it is grounded in God.
We are clothed in the righteousness of Christ
and we are
being conformed to His image to His character
(03:02:49):
to His worldview.
But then we do these things
out of love, not just any love,
but the love that comes from the Father,
love that is like
Christ.
This is why in the New Testament
so many times we see this word agape
(03:03:11):
using reference to the church
which is Greek for divine love.
There's falaya love which is familial love
like the love between brothers
but then there's a gape which is god's love,
and when Jesus is restoring Peter
after his resurrection
he says, Simon,
son of Jonah
(03:03:33):
lovest thou me?
And first he says filleo
but by the end of it
he says love astound me
and it's agape
do you love me
as I love you?
And that is the love that we are back into as believers
(03:03:57):
is to love as.
God loves
to love Him and to love others
as God does thank you for listening.

reality is this is about Judah.
This is about the Kingdom of Judah who has
(01:03:43):
disregarded the ways of God,
who has gone their own way
who has
time and time
again demonstrated that they are the first picture,
and this is part of a much broader section
of proclaiming judgment
on the Kingdom of Judah,
judgment that culminates in their exile
(01:04:04):
that culminates in them being taken
from the from the land of Israel, being taken from
where the Temple is taken away from everything
they know, all their traditions all of, their heritage,
and they're taken to a country that' does not
care for the things of God
that has no desire to live for God,
(01:04:24):
and yet God is still in their midst.
But
what God is establishing is that they are the first
picture, not the latter,
and they are the first picture now
and it's part of why they're being
taken away into captivity in the hopes that someday
by god's Grace, they will be the second picture.
They will be the blessed man that trusteth in the Lord
(01:04:47):
and whose hope the Lord is,
and in order for
him to be their hope there has to be no other hope
and so he takes them away from what they know
he takes them away from
what they've grown up in from their heritage'
from all of the traditions that they've
been surrounded. By some of them their whole lives
for generations
(01:05:08):
they've been around the temple
they've been around this' they've been around the law
and yet they're going to be
stricken away from all of that
and they will live in a nation that doesn't honor God
and it is God who did that
but this is a picture
that harkens to another passage.
(01:05:29):
We go to Psalm Chapter 1.
We also have a similar
bit of content.
Psalm 1 says blessed is the man
that walketh not in the council of the ungodly
nor standeth in the way of sinners
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful
(01:05:51):
but his delight is on the law of the LORD
and upon his law doth he meditate day and night
and he shall be like a tree
(02:00:00):
planted by the rivers of water
which beareth
which bringeth forth his fruit into season
his leaf also shall not wither,
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The wicked
are not so, the ungodly are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind drives away
therefore the ungodly says the psalm shall not stand
(02:00:24):
in the judgment
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous
for the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous
but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
I was talking with a friend
about this passage recently and he
described it as the Old Testament Beatitudes.
This is a description of the kind of person
(02:00:44):
that God blesses.
Is one who delights
in the word of God who delights in the ways of God
who meditates on his law day and night
and the kind of person that would do that
is the kind of person who is planted
his like a tree planted by the rivers of water
(02:01:06):
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season
his leave shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth
shall prosper.
Job
does the things that he's listed,
and it's not those things that make him good
it's not those things that make him
righteous or upright
these are things he does because
he's righteous because he's upright
(02:01:29):
because he is god's man.
These are the things that god's men do
so he was a father to the poor
and the cause which he did not know. He searched out
he broke the jaws of the Wick And he
plucked the spoil out of their teeth
his root was spread out by the waters
And the dew lay all night upon his branch
(02:01:51):
unto him. Men gave ear
and waited and kept silent at his counsel.
After his words they spoke not again
and his speech dropped upon them.
They waited for him as for the rain
and they opened their mouth wide. As for the latter rain
(02:02:13):
he dwelt as a king in the army
and is one that comforteth the mourners
Joe does all this
not to become righteous, but because he is righteous,
these are things that God. Has made him to be.
These are things that
(02:02:35):
we can only be
by the Grace of God
these aren't the things we can conjure up in ourselves
things that we can cause ourselves to be of our own
willpower.
This is the result of God.
The sanctification says okay how do I be this
because this is what God is like?
This is what Jesus Christ modeled for us
(02:02:59):
as the ideal man
as the second Adam,
that this is what the man ought to be,
that Jesus invites us into the new humanity
where we look at what God delights in
and say blessed are the poor and spirit
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
blessed are those that mourn for
(02:03:20):
they shall be comforted,
blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth
blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see
God,
and so our sanctification
causes us to look at ourselves and look at
Christ and go.
How can we be more like that?
How can we be a father to the poor? How can we be
(02:03:42):
eyes to the blind and feet to the lame
it's only by the power of God.
It is only by the Spirit working within us
conforming us to the image of Christ day by day
moment by moment decision by decision
because we are predestined not to go to heaven,
we are predestined to be conformed
to the image of Christ.
(02:04:05):
That is,
that is. Prophecy in. Motion right there that is.
Something that has been in the mind of God since
before the foundations of the earth
is having a people out of every tribe tongue in nation
that bear his image on the earth
job gives us a
(02:04:26):
glimmer
of something that was yet to be realized,
something that was yet to come.
Job gives us a shadow
of something that is fully beheld in Christ,
and so we don't look at Job, we don't look at
the good thing that Job does
(02:04:48):
and go.
I need to be like Job.
We look at this and go. I need to be like Christ.
This is who Christ is
this is a foreshadowing of the character of Christ
and this character can be ours
by the work of God. We go over to Collisions. Chapter 3
(02:05:13):
collagens chapter 3
starts off with these words
if ye then be risen with Christ,
that is that we are united with Christ,
that salvation of we are in Christ
in his life in his death in his resurrection.
(02:05:36):
If he then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God,
set your affection
on things above, not on things on the earth
for ye are dead
and your life is hid with Christ in God.
(02:05:58):
Colosion is 220
says I am crucified with Christ and I no longer live
(03:00:02):
and the life that I now live in the body.
I live by faith to the Son of God
who loved me and gave himself for me
and so you are dead
and when Christ, who is our life,
shall appear
(03:00:23):
then shall he also appear with him in glory.
Mortify, therefore your members, which are upon the earth
fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection
evil, concupiescence,
covetousness, which is idolatry
for which these things say
the wrath of God,
(03:00:43):
cometh on the children of disobedience
in the which he also walks sometime
when he lived in them.
But now also, he says put off
all these anger wrath, malice, blasphemy,
fill the communication out of your mouth
lie not one to another,
(03:01:03):
seeing that EFP put off the old man with his deeds
and have put on the new man,
which is renewed in knowledge
after the image of him that created him
that is, Christ
put on the new man
through Christ,
take on
the character of Christ,
(03:01:25):
put it on as a garment, be clothed in his righteousness
as Job said I put on righteousness, and it, clothed me.
It was as a robe and a diadem
and put on the new man
which is renewed in knowledge
after the image of him that created him
where there is neither Greek nor Jew.
(03:01:46):
Circumcision nor uncircumcision
barbarian, Scythian bond nor free.
But Christ is all,
and in all
put on, therefore as the elect of, God, holy and beloved,
bowels of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind meekness
(03:02:07):
long suffering,
forbearing one another and forgiving one another
if any man have a quarrel against any
even as Christ forgave you,
so also do ye?
And above all these things put on charity,
which is the bond
of perfectness.
That the core of why Joe does what he does
(03:02:27):
is to love in the way that God does
that. This. Is why we put on righteousness. This. Is why we
can be a father to the poor
and eyes of the blind and feet to the lame is
it is grounded in God.
We are clothed in the righteousness of Christ
and we are
being conformed to His image to His character
(03:02:49):
to His worldview.
But then we do these things
out of love, not just any love,
but the love that comes from the Father,
love that is like
Christ.
This is why in the New Testament
so many times we see this word agape
(03:03:11):
using reference to the church
which is Greek for divine love.
There's falaya love which is familial love
like the love between brothers
but then there's a gape which is god's love,
and when Jesus is restoring Peter
after his resurrection
he says, Simon,
son of Jonah
(03:03:33):
lovest thou me?
And first he says filleo
but by the end of it
he says love astound me
and it's agape
do you love me
as I love you?
And that is the love that we are back into as believers
(03:03:57):
is to love as.
God loves
to love Him and to love others
as God does thank you for listening.
