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
Job 21:4 As for me, is my complaint to a mere man? Why therefore, should I not be impatient? At multiple points this past week as I was dealing with issues, I told people that the only way I was getting through this was God told me to, and I am following. In… Continue reading Study of Job 21:4 – #490 Strive
Job 21:3 Bear with me while I speak, After I have spoken, then mock on. This week was very emotional for me. The personality conflict at work was almost debilitating and sucking more energy than I had. I only got through it because I was trying to follow God and be a good… Continue reading Study of Job 21:3 – #489 Mock On
Job 21:1-2 Then Job answered and said: Listen carefully to what I have to say, Let that be your act of consoling me. Wow did I miss that. As in the past, I left off verse one as it is repetitious, but then I didn’t notice I had when I was doing this… Continue reading Study of Job 21:1-2 – #488 Prize
Job 20:29 This is the sinner’s portion from God, The evildoer’s inheritance from God. I wanted to say, ‘Thank God that is over’, but the next chapter just continues Zophar’s speech. Ugh. (It does not, but more about that later.) Not that I can’t learn from it, but it has been a challenging… Continue reading Study of Job 20:29 – #487 Motivation
Job 20:28 The increase of his house will be washed away, Pouring out on the day of God’s wrath. Today is Easter. I learned Thursday at the Maundy Thursday service that Maundy came from mandate as in the new mandate that Christ gave His followers. I’ve heard that phrase at least fifty-eight times… Continue reading Study of Job 20:28 – #486 I do not Care
Job 20:27 Heaven will reveal his iniquity, The earth will rise up against him. I may have mentioned that my accountability question is ‘Did you pause?’ I paused this week at least once. I was talking to someone who was asking ‘they’ to do something, and the ‘they’ was me, and I was… Continue reading Study of Job 20:27 – #485 Effort
Job 20:26 Utter darkness is reserved for his hidden treasures, A fire fanned by man, consumes him, Devours the remnants of his tabernacle. Happy real Cinco de Mayo! I fully woke up last night stressed about work. I almost never come fully awake once I actually get to sleep until the next… Continue reading Study of Job 20:26 – #484 Hidden
Job 20:25 Drawn forth, it comes out through his back, The glittering point passing through his gall, Casts terror upon him. My resonating thought is that if he is fleeing, wouldn’t he get hit from behind, and wouldn’t the arrow come out his front? It is the brainwashing of poets that we… Continue reading Study of Job 20:25 – #483 Sorting It Out
