I had an interesting experience some years ago while I was running a school for a couple who came from the United Kingdom. A job seeker lost the job before the interview. It was a very young school. Many facilities were still not in place including the administrator’s office and even the security post. We […]

“By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen.” (Job 37:10) We stood on the thick ice, just beyond the lake’s shore. Much further out from us, cars and people wandered ai…
Got some truth bombs we all need to hear today that can set us free from the precious book of Job. The truth hurts, friends, but it hurts much more to remain in darkness. When we suffer, we can question God, but it is our thinking that needs to line up with God’s. This life is not about us. God’s thoughts are not ours. We tend to want God to grade us on the curve. God gives us grace and doesn’t give us what we deserve. God doesn’t show favoritism, but He does give us favor.
Our steps our numbered. By One Who loves us enough to tell us not to sin. How we live matters. Small choices matter. We need to be faithful in the little things. We need to diligently keep sin from our home and life. We will be accountable to God. God promises to give us understanding—but we need to be in His word to be able to get understanding.
When life gets rough, looking backward won’t help us move forward. Living in the past is not growing in the grace of God. When our perspective becomes focused on the hard place, we need to lean on God’s grace. He is enough! Our Redeemer lives, friends! He was there before time began and He is already there at the end. He lives! Happy Easter, all!
When we don’t understand why things happen in this life, we need to question ourselves rather than a perfect, holy God. Just because we think something does not make it true and our understanding is limited. Fearing a god made in our own image will not deliver us. But fearing the one true God gives us wisdom and salvation.
Our suffering is not pointless. It has purpose. We can comfort others with the comfort we have received and draw near to God Who showed us how to endure suffering. He is our comfort. And when we suffer, God loves us and is with us. He does not want us to respond with self-debasement or anger, but trust. He is accomplishing more than we realize in the midst of what we would not ever wish for. Self-debasement is not righteousness. Humility in recognizing there is nothing good in us does not mean that we cannot be redeemed and changed by our good God.
There were so many things I was struggling with that I fell into bed exhausted. One of my daughters had broken
When we are suffering, bitterness and a complaining spirit can tank us spiritually. But if we pour out our heart to God instead, that suffering can be turned into something for our good and God’s glory.
The earth takes shape like clay under a seal Job 38 contains the famous verse “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?” (Job 38:4). The whole chapter revolves around G…
Job has taught me about the value of God and the dangers of the prosperity gospel. At the heart of the PG is our value. At the heart of Job, and all of Scripture, is God’s value.
