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? […]
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 […]
1 Chronicles 16:30-31“Tremble before Him all the earth;Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;And let them say among the nations, the LORD reigns.” 1 Chronicles 16:30 To hold God in awe – He is the Creator of all the earth, the […]
Until recently, I could not relate to or understand unsparing, unrelenting pain. There are many people living 24/7 with pain – pain which has a cause and can only be controlled by drugs and/or diet. Job was a man who lived in the far distant past. He was a righteous man who believed […]
“In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright: he feared God and shunned evil.” Job 1:1 (NIV) Like many of us, Job loved God. And, Satan wanted to destroy his faith in God by destroying Job. That is like us too. Satan desires that […]
For the followers of Christ Jesus – where is our confidence to be placed? Our confidence should never be in ourselves – we fail too many times.Our confidence should never be in another person, government, or religion – if they haven’t “messed up” they will, they are people!(NASB) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned […]
