Good Morning “Those Who Take Refuge In Him.”  Today we are in Psalm 2.If we’ve learned anything from reading through The Old Testament, we’ve learned God is in control.  Kings rise and Kings fall by His hand (Romans 13:1-7).  He moves them where He wants them to go to accomplish His purposes (Proverbs 21:1).  Sometimes the nation has positioned themselves for blessing, sometimes they need discipli...  Read More

Good Morning “Mocked for Righteousness”.  Today we begin Psalms with Ch 1.  The books of Psalms is a collection of what were once only song lyrics.  Like many songs, they chronicle what the writer was going through at the time, or rejoice in what has come.  Psalms chronicles Israel’s history from the Kings to their exile, Gods faithfulness in returning and restoring them and on to celebration and ...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Who Reflect Gods Plan.”  Today we wrap up Job with chapter 42.  Job has been through it, no doubt.  Today we see Job humbly falling on His face before God as he realizes how wrong he was to question Him.  “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬God not only forgives but He rest...  Read More

Good Morning “Dragon Slayers.”  Today we are in Job 41.  As God continues, passionately placing Job back into his more appropriate place of fearful, humble submission… He uses the Leviathan as an example.  “Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook or tie down its tongue with a rope? Can you put a cord through its nose or pierce its jaw with a hook? Will it keep begging you for mercy? Will it spea...  Read More

Good Morning “Only Justified by Jesus”.  Today we are in Job 40.  God continues questioning Job, and it’s not pretty.  In our questioning of what God does and doesn’t do, we position ourselves over Him as judge.  We would never say or admit that, but that’s what’s happening.  If we believe God is in sovereign control of all things then to question that is to assume He is doing something wrong.  Th...  Read More

Good Morning “Sustained In Every Way.”  Today we are in Job 39.““Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn? Do you count the months till they bear? Do you know the time they give birth?” Job‬ ‭39‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬As God puts Job in his place He makes it quite clear, He is completely aware of, sustains and provides for all living creatures.  Like the con...  Read More

Good Morning “Put in Our Place.”  Today we are in Job 38.  As we’ve read Jobs lament, we’ve observed him move progressively more toward questioning God.  Why?  What did I do to “deserve” this?  This simply isn’t fair.  If only God would present Himself so I could ask Him.Maybe we’ve found ourself questioning Gods treatment of Job.  Or maybe you’ve found yourself in the same place in your life.  We...  Read More

Good Morning “Observers of Gods Sovereignty.”  Today we are in Job 37.We know God holds it all and is in control of it all.  We say it often, but does it really sink in?  Throughout the book of Job we see descriptions of the depth of Gods intimate involvement in EVERYTHING.  We saw it yesterday day with CH. 36Atheists believe there is no God, no Creator, no Curator.  They typically believe everyth...  Read More

Good Morning “Seekers of Great Unsearchable Things.”  Today we are in Job 36.We are a researching, discovering people.  Just think of the things we’ve discovered even within our lifetime.  The interesting thing is, many of these things were outlined in Scripture by our God hundreds, or even thousands of years before man ever “discovered” they were true.Let me give you some simple examples…The Eart...  Read More

Good Morning “Future Reward Seekers.”  Today we are in Job 35.  As Elihu continues his rebuke, he considers Jobs real question.  Yet you ask him, ‘What profit is it to me, and what do I gain by not sinning?’” Job‬ ‭35‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬If our faithfulness to The Word and our obedience during our life time doesn’t promise us protection from harm, blessing, health, wealth and prosperity… “Then what is the ...  Read More

Good Morning… “God is Good… “ finish the sentence…“All the time…”Today we are in Job 34Elihu continues rebuking and imparting wisdom to Job, his friends… and us.  He’s young, but has a good grasp of Gods Sovereignty, and His Perfect Goodness displayed in His Justice.We’ve talked much recently about our inclination to sit in judgment over God.  I’m not suggesting that any of us consciously elevate ...  Read More

Good Morning “Ransomed.”  Today we are in Job 33.Elihu comes at Jobs situation with more impartiality than Jobs other friends.  He puts the 3 in their place for finding no specific fault with Job, yet accusing.  When he turns to Job, he checks Job up for his self righteous claims.  We know Job is later rebuked by God for his questioning the Sovereignty of God.  Eliphaz received a word for Job from...  Read More
