Job 21:14 Yet they say into God, ‘Depart from us!    We desire not to know your ways.   (I obviously had no idea this would be Job #500 when I wrote it, so I hope it has enough context to carry that weight.) I read this morning about cutting things out of your life… Continue reading Study of Job 21:14 – #500 Headscratcher

Job 21:13 They pass their days in bounty,    In a peaceful instant, they go down to Sheol.   I had a negative experience with a seller on ebay. They found my blog and submitted comments that were negative as well. My second response was to acknowledge that they were now persecuting me as a… Continue reading Study of Job 21:13 – # 499 Learning

Job 21:12 They sing with the timbrel and lyre,    Rejoice with the sound of pipes.   Yesterday was a good day. I felt like I did the things I needed to and ignored the things I did not. I got to see the little one perform on the violin at school and eat dinner… Continue reading Study of Job 21:12 – #498 Sing

Job 21:11 They let their infants run loose like sheep,    Their children frolic about.   Woke up and blood pressure was down, so we are looking at a great day. My new paradigm of noticing things while I am experiencing something is at least sorta making its way into the system. I keep reading… Continue reading Study of Job 21:11 – #497 Frolicking Flock

Job 21:10   Their bulls breed, without fail,    Their cows calve, without miscarriage.   This verse from the mouth of Job speaks about how our enemies always seem to have success. They do things we have done or could have done and are successful while we ran into trouble. They might also have the… Continue reading Study of Job 21:10 – #496 Pray for Outcomes

Job 21:9 Their homes are secure, without fear,    No rod of God comes upon them.   I have an anger problem. At one point, I assumed it was due to low testosterone. Now, I think it might be due to low vitamin D. I haven’t been as diligent about taking the vitamin D, but… Continue reading Study of Job 21:9 – #495 Learning

Job 21:8 Their children grow up in their presence,    Their grandchildren before their eyes.   Job is directly refuting the stupid ideas of his ‘companion’. I feel like someone on my side is arguing for me. Reminds me that we have to take the Bible in context. The words of the companion are in… Continue reading Study of Job 21:8 – #494 Future Generations

Job 21:7 Why do the wicked live on,    Reach old age, grow hale and hearty?   One theme seems to be riding through all I do right now. In a book, in a movie, in my Bible study, in my life. This theme is simple ‘on the face of it’ as they say. It… Continue reading Study of Job 21:7 – #493 Worth It

Job 21:6 When I just think of it, I am dismayed,    And trembling seizes my flesh.   Tradition. Today is Aggie Muster and is very important to many Aggies as they honor those that have passed the last year. It is a tradition. It’s not like most traditions, but it is one none the… Continue reading Study of Job 21:6 – #492 Tradition vs Repeat

Job 21:5 Look at me and be appalled,    Clap your hand over your mouth.   For the first time in weeks it seems, my blood pressure is back to normal. (It went way up after this and back down again.) I have spent a lot of effort over the weekend trying to prepare to… Continue reading Study of Job 21:5 – #491 Steps in the Plan
