Job 23:1-2 Then Job spoke out saying, Though today my complaint is defiant,    God’s hand upon me is heavier than my groaning.   I had lots of notes to get to this version. Yesterday, my legs were still tired from four straight days of exercise. My three things for today are all very simple;… Continue reading Study of Job 23:1-2 – #550 Heavier

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. Maybe I can finish before the little one graduates high school. If I do one a day, every day, I would finish February of 28. If I slow to… Continue reading Study of Job 22:30 – #549 Who Saves

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 22:28 When you issue a decree,    It will be fulfilled,       Light will shine upon your paths.   I have always desired this light to shine on my path.

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.

Job 22:26 Then you will seek the favor of the Almighty,    Lifting your face to God in prayer.   I am twenty-four or thirty-six hours into my new phase depending on how you want to count it. The best part is that I picked up three baseball cards I really wanted. The worst part… Continue reading Study of Job 22:26 – #545 Seek

Job 22:25 For the Almighty will be your real gold,    And your bounty of silver.   With the new month, I am starting another track of everything I do to try and get my health back under control or at least not overwhelming chaos. (That lasted 36 hours or so.) I hate tracking things… Continue reading Study of Job 22:25 – #544 Battles

Job 22:24 Then you can lay your treasure in the dust,    Your special treasures as stones of the wadi.   Something I read recently had me questioning where my wants come from.

Job 22:23 If you return to the Almighty,    You will be restored. If you remove iniquity from your tabernacle.   Some people say bad things and do not care who knows it.

Job 22:22 Receive instruction from His mouth,    Place His words in your heart.   Our Bible study today was over 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 which includes the bit about our bodies being a temple.
