Finding Life beyond the struggles
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 →
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 →
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 →
In the Twenty-Ninth Chapter of Job, we are given a glimpse of Job's life prior to the enemy's attack. Job was in a place of position and helped prosper his community.

There's something happening, the signs are all around, and I don't know who needs to read this, maybe it's me, but I hope this post will bring you the encouragement you need to keep pressing forward. I remember the loyalty of... Continue Reading →
In the middle of his suffering, Job worships God. So far he's displayed his belief and trust in God, even in the face of his friends' unbelief and accusations. Now with Chapter 28, Job lays everything aside and praises Wisdom, a characteristic of God. Throughout what some versions label as a Hymn, we see how... Continue Reading →
What we say can reveal a lot about God. Or it can muddy the waters. In order to make sure we aren't doing the latter, we need to know not only what God's Word says, but the dividing line He created and how He understands it. Job and Bildad are two examples we can look... Continue Reading →
Listen up, guys. Or rather, read this since I'm writing not talking. As most of you know, I am a stay at home mom, a SAHM, and I love it. There are so many good things that come with it. I get to be there for my kids, I can pretty much set my own... Continue Reading →
Chapters 24 and 25 of the Book of Job remind us that when we live in reflection of God's heart, we're not the only ones who benefit. It can be tough to live for others in a world that tells us we should live for ourselves alone. Yet all around us are people who need... Continue Reading →
