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

Good Morning “Wise Because of The Holy Spirit.”  Today we are in Job 32.  Finally someone who speaks impartially, with pause, and wisdom.  Elihu makes a very important point as he prepares to let em have it.“But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding. It is not only the old who are wise, not only the aged who understand what is right.” Job‬ ‭32‬:‭8‬...  Read More

Good Morning “God Fearing…”Today we are in Job 31.  As Job continues to lament he describes many sins and repeats and calls down curses on himself from Isaiah.    We know Job was not sinless - no one except Jesus ever was or is (Romans 3:23).  But, imagine being humbled to the point that Job is humbled, and yet still feeling free from conviction.  I don’t know about you, but I stumble often and fe...  Read More

Good Morning “Clinging to Eternal Hope.”  Today we are in Job 30.Job continues his most hopeless lament.  Our hearts can’t help but break for him.  Despite knowing that Job, like us, deserves whatever God chooses to bring upon us.  We like Job have earned it by our sin (Romans 3:23).  Only one has ever been sinless - Jesus.  “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own w...  Read More

Good Morning “Used as an Example”.  Today we are in Job 29.Job laments… if only I could go back to the days of my prime, when God was with me, when he guided me and comforted me.  In the midst of Jobs horrible suffering he was missing out on something incredible.  GOD WAS WITH HIM.  It was the Footprints in the Sand poem being lived out.  “When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that ...  Read More

Good Morning “Wisdom Seekers, God Fearers.”  Today we are in Job 28.Job had a deep understanding of what was to be valued.In Job 1:1b regarding Job we are told “…this man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.” Job‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬What a statement!  As we get to this chapter and read Jobs words, perhaps we find the reason that Job was the way he was.  He believed Gods Word - Wis...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Learning From Job.”  Today we are in Job 27.  Although Job remained faithful to God in the midst of horrific testing, he was not perfect.  We get it - most of us likely would respond similarly or even worse.  There is value in us humbly considering all parts of Jobs response.  Without climbing onto our “ivory tower” and arrogantly passing judgment; we must be careful to learn f...  Read More
