Job 4:13 Amid wisps of thought, visions of the night,                 When slumber drifts down upon mortals   Ever wonder when God talks to you? Some people think He talks to us in our dreams.

I let my phone pick some songs to play the other day that were billed as some generic good thing like “personal highlights”. I was expecting something like my most played songs. Instead, I got a really sad song from one of my favorite bands, a relatively obscure song from another of my favorite bands,… Continue reading Random XVII – 200 in Round Numbers

Job 4:12 Word came to me in stealth,                 My ear caught an echo of it. I picture an old man about to tell a fable to innocent kids. Maybe an old Arab tell one of the 1001 stories you hear spoken of. I actually decided to read that book and found a very good… Continue reading Job 58: Study 45: Job 4:12 – Deceptive disguise?

Job 4:10-11 The Lion Roars, the cub howls,                 Yet, the teeth of the great lions are broken. The mighty lion perishes for lack of prey,                 The young of the lioness scattered.   These two verses are so intertwined, I wanted to try and write about them both at once. We have two cats:… Continue reading Job 57: Study 44: Job 4:10-11 – Lions, lions, and what is the meaning of this

It has been two months since I last did one of these, so I figured I could throw one in now. My pastor is working through a series on David and there is a lot of material in each piece.

Job 4:9 By the breath of God,             They perish,                         By a snort from Him,                                      They are consumed. Hurricane Nicholas came this way last night. My favorite tree got damaged again. After lightning stuck it that one time when I was outside, it has now been damaged by two separate hurricanes. After I… Continue reading Job 56: Study 43: Job 4:9 – Your opportunity

Job 4:8 As I see it, those who             Plow iniquity and sow trouble,                         Reap the same.   My brain is in a fog from anger towards another individual.    This verse feels awkward to me.

DS 31 I am the worst – Fear mongering media – He gave – I confess – Justified by faith – Thought Control I am writing this on 9/11. When I say that in my brain, the image that comes up is my car. I have never been happy that the “name” of my car… Continue reading Daily Summaries: A new level of randomness 31: Captive thoughts

Job 4:7 Recall, Pray:                 Who being innocent perished?                                 Where were the upright cutoff?   My first impression on this is that the questions are rhetorical in nature. No one had ever been innocent up to this point as Jesus came later. No one had ever been upright. Eliphaz is telling Job that… Continue reading Job 54: Study 41: Job 4:7 – The Motivation

2 Peter 2:10-22 Revised Standard Version 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overpowered, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For it would have been better for… Continue reading 2 Peter Lesson 4 – Only 32 questions – Part 5 – 2 Peter 2:20-22 – Need to Finish?
