Psalm 6:9 “The LORD has heard my supplication, The LORD receives my prayer.” O LORD, hear my prayer, and the needs I bring to You. May You hear and answer me. Help me, O LORD, to grow in my faith in You, the living God. May I never stop learning at Your feet. Help me […]
All the people on earth spoke the same language. They decided to build a city and a tower to reach heaven. They wanted their name to be known. Genesis 11:1-4 Pride does that, doesn’t it? Wanting one’s name to be known and recognized by others. The LORD came down from heaven to see […]
Are some myths based on facts? I think so. One example which comes to mind is the… dragon. Job 41:1-11 a large fish or whale is described. Job 41:12-34 a dragon is described. God’s word describes a beast which is also described in stories. And the descriptions “fit” each other. Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction,…” […]
The LORD asked Job, “Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it.” Ahem, Job, I wouldn’t do that if I were you… Job 40:1-2 How many times do we question God, with questions He can answer for us but we think we have it all figured out…. I wouldn’t […]
Presumptuous People Job 39:1-30 The LORD God went through a list of questions to which Job could only answer “no”. Presumptuous people think they know it all … until God questions them. Nature, all of nature, was created by God. He knows the characteristics of the animals… He made both on land and in the sea. […]
The LORD God was talking to Job, “And I will ask you, and you instruct Me!” Uh-oh… Job you better watch it. How humiliating for Job, Omniscient God (the All knowing God) to make such a statement. Job, were you there when God created the earth? Were you there when the morning stars sang together? […]
Proverbs 29:25 paraphrased LORD You are God. Let me never forget that fact. Your word says “The fear of man brings a snare.” Am I a people pleaser? Yes, too many times. Forgive me. Your word also says, “but he who trusts in the LORD will be exalted.” I come to You to trust in […]
Picture the scene… Satan, along with other angels, presented themselves to God in heaven. The LORD singled out Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan replied that he had been roaming the earth and walking around on it. Job 2:2 God’s valuable assessment of His servant Job: The LORD asked Satan: “Have you thought about […]
Job was a man who lived a long time ago. Yet he was a man whose faith in the living God was a great example for us today in the 21st century. Job was considered blameless for he feared God and turned away from evil. We too need to fear God with reverence and turn […]
Noah must have kept a diary of some kind… he recorded days and months. He recorded the day and the month the rains began. He recorded when the ark settled upon the mountains of Ararat. He recorded when the waters decreased. He even recorded when the tops of the mountains became visible. All life on […]
