Job 23:6 Would He simply overwhelm me with His great power?    No, He would surely pay heed to me.   Even Christ was not so full of pride that He assumed equality with the Father. I do not understand how the three aspects of a single God work, but I know that Job… Continue reading Study of Job 23:6 – #554 Humility

Job 23:5 I would find out what He would answer me,    And grasp what He would say to me.   When I read my daily devotional, I was once again stuck by how arrogant and know-it-all the authors are. They know a lot, and it shows in what they say about scripture and what… Continue reading Study of Job 23:5 – #553 Listen

Job 23:4 I would present my case before Him,    My mouth full of arguments.   The kid’s team played the rivals last night. It was atrocious.

Job 22:30 He will even save the guilty,    Delivered through the purity of your hands.   Finishing another chapter today, only 20 more to go.

Job 22:29 When others are humiliated,    You will say, ‘Rise Up!’,       He will save the humble.   Today is a holiday. It feels more holiday-ish than many in recent memory.

Job 22:27 You will pray to Him, He will hear you,    Then you will fulfill your vows.   A tropical storm came just far enough to the East of us to give us no rain.
