Job 22:15 Will you cling to the ancient ways,    Which the wicked have trodden,   My daily reading was about honoring God’s name. It gave me a thought about how Christians act so poorly that others want nothing to do with God. The actions of our country and its leaders is doing the same… Continue reading Study of Job 22:15 – #534 As If

Job 22:14 Thick clouds seclude Him, He does not see us,    As He goes about the vaulted heavens.   I have three topics to cover, none of which seem to matter. I have made a typing error, not caught it, and a package is delayed if not possibly costing even more to get. I… Continue reading Study of Job 22:14 – #533 Seeing

Job 22:13 Therefore, you say:    ‘What can God know?       Can He judge through the deep darkness?   The gap I often run into is that I simply do not, in and of myself, want the same things that God wants, but in my desire to have a relationship with Him, I do want… Continue reading Study of Job 22:13 – #532 The Catio

I had this piece hanging for ages now. I cannot even remember how I was presenting these. These are the verses and questions from when my Bible Study group went over this part of Timothy. I think it was the last one I wrote up as I was losing traction on doing the Job pieces.… Continue reading 1 Timothy 1:12-20 – A break

Job 22:12 You think: ‘God is in the lofty heavens,    Behold, the highest stars, how lofty they are!’   I wonder if Hebrew has heaven as the same word here like we do in English. I always understood the English word to have two meanings of space above the earth and a non-physical realm… Continue reading Study of Job 22:12 – #531 Making Friends

Job 22:11 Through darkness, you cannot see,    Nor the flood of waters covering you.   My back started acting up yesterday when I leaned over to pick something up. My father-in-law used to be ‘down in his back’ quite often. I only screamed like a baby once so far. My knee was feeling better… Continue reading Study of Job 22:11 – #530 Routine

Job 22:10 Therefore, snares are all around you,    Why sudden peril terrifies you.   The concept is that you know you have done wrong and expect to be punished. This is so far from where Job is. They think he is wrong. We find out they are. Not sure how deep to dig here.… Continue reading Study of Job 22:10 – #529 Perspective of Judgement

  Job 22:9 You have sent widows off empty-handed,    Crushed the arms of the fatherless.   Widows and Orphans. There is potential that taking care of them is the most important thing Christians are supposed to do. Our church has a widows ministry and an adoption ministry. It is part of what we do,… Continue reading Study of Job 22:9 – #528 Duty

Job 22:8 For you:    “The strong-armed control the land,       Those so privileged dwell upon it.”   I am developing a new desire: I want my home to be organized and look that way. I have always wanted these two things, but not together. I am mostly organized, but I get undone when I… Continue reading Study of Job 22:8 – #527 Strong-Armed

Job 22:7 No water have you given to the thirsty,    From the hungry you have withheld bread.   It feels like summer here now. I am trying to enjoy it, but it feels like a lot of effort is needed to do so. My replacement hammock stand came in yesterday, so that was good… Continue reading Study of Job 22:7 – #526 Water, Bread and Question
