Get ready to start a journey…a journey through the pages of the Bible and the pages of your life.
We are no match for Satan and his sinister schemes. But remember your “birthmark!” You belong to the One who has already defeated the enemy and his most potent weapon . . . death. You can say confidently with the psalmist, “In the Lord I take refuge.” That’s the beauty of our “birthmark.”
One day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord . . . Ruler of all! Don’t wait until it’s too late. Confess Jesus as your Savior, Lord, and King today!
Keep talking to Him . . . even with your questions. Keep trusting Him . . . even in your doubts. He loves you! He cares for you! You can trust Him!
God knew that the answer to Job’s questions was not “Why?” but “Who?” When we understand that the “Who?” behind all our life is God, that knowledge translates into trust.
The starting point of wisdom is standing in awe of the Almighty God.
God is not silent. He has not forgotten you. Be still and listen. Hear His whispers. Hear Him speaking. Hear Him shouting how much He loves you even in your pain. Hold on! Don’t give up! He’s coming to your rescue.
That’s what happens when wealth is our security. We start believing in the god of money and begin the long slippery slide to the bottom of the slope.
Don’t deny the temptation. Take steps, like Job, to live obediently.
Right now what you are going through makes no sense. Remember, wisdom does not mean that I know all the answers; it means I know the One who does . . . and I submit myself to Him.
The sovereign Creator has chosen you and me to benefit Him in eternal work! If that doesn’t get you excited, check your spiritual pulse!
This life is short. The believer, regardless of earthly suffering, will spend eternity in heaven. The wicked, regardless of earthly “prosperity,” will spend eternity in hell.
This passage gives tremendous encouragement to us in facing death. Our Redeemer lives! We have confidence that He will deliver us safely home.
