Finding Life beyond the struggles
Elihu has a lot to say about Job's accusations against God. He wastes no time reminding those gathered that God is just, something Job's arguments have been in contradiction with. Elihu also reminds us that God's justice isn't in favor of one person or another, but it comes to all, but even within His justice,... Continue Reading →
The difference with Elihu's speech is that while Jobs other friends spoke accusations against Job, working to get him to admit he had done something wrong and must've brought on this punishment from God, Elihu speaks of how God redeems and restores. He speaks of God's true nature. Elihu's speech is the definition of edifying.... Continue Reading →
Last week I turned another year older. I don't feel like it and I've already warned my people that I will undoubtedly forget my actual age, and not on purpose either. I've just gotten so used to being the same age my mother was when she had me it's like ingrained in my brain or... Continue Reading →
Chapter 32 in the Book of Job is the beginning of Elihu's one and only speech. Elihu is the youngest of the men and yet he is the wisest of those gathered together. In this intro, we are reminded that wisdom doesn't come from us, but from God. We are also reminded that God's Wisdom... Continue Reading →
Hello Beautiful People! How is life today? Has the weather been good to you or for you? I know out on the West Coast it's been crazy. Which is weird to me because as a kid who grew up in California, I didn't even know what snow was the first time I saw it. I... Continue Reading →
Chapter 31 concludes Job's final speech. It viewed as his final assertion of integrity and within it he covers some important topics. He wonders what God has in store for him, how he will one day be judged before the throne of God for his actions. Job also speaks of how he let the opinion... Continue Reading →
Hello and welcome to March's First Friday Fitness! Today's post is a short one and it's about running. I haven't run in a few years, but decided it's time to pick it up again. Running and I have had a tenuous relationship for most of my life. I can dance for hours, but running for... Continue Reading →
Is it just me or is my title a bit wordy? Idk. Anyway. Last month I beat January's number of books read! Yep! I'm proud of myself. If you're wondering how I actually managed to read 25 books in February, know that there was a lot of insomnia involved. In the last few months, I've... Continue Reading →
If I had to label Chapter 30, I'd label it as a Look at Differing Opinions. There's the People's Opinion, which Job relates to in the first few verses, and there's God's Opinion. The difference between the opinion of the assembly and God is vastly different here. While Job is complaining about how he'd recently... Continue Reading →
For everyone who's felt overwhelmed, unfulfilled, like they're running behind, racing to catch up, drained, like they need a break, just plain tired... Me too. But this is just a bad day, a bad week, a bad month, a bad year. A bad season. A hard season. I don't know when and I don't know... Continue Reading →
