And their father...

Huge deal...Job put them into his will along with their brothers. Girls and in all the land no women were as lovely as the daughters of Job!

Wow, we all know that this is big! Women were not left in wills only men, but Job realized after all he had been through that he was indeed blessed and given twice as much and he was thankful and full of love for his family.

God restored Job with twice as much! God is so amazing and never ever will we get truly how amazing...Thank you God for being so much more than we can imagine!!!

From a whirlwind

The Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:

How does He answer you?

Is it through the words of a friend?

Is it from words in the scripture?

Is it from the Pastor on Sunday?

Is it???

I love those moments that without a doubt God answers, but what about moments like Job had been having before the whirlwind? Did you know God like Job?

We must believe God's Words with out whole heart to recognize His voice when indeed He speaks to us!

Prayer Special - Pray for Egypt

Overwhelmed!

Today, in the reading from Job 30 and 31 all I could think of was how alone and overwhelmed Job is feeling. After all, he had been living a life that God called blameless - a man of complete integrity, and called him the finest man in all the earth. Suddenly, his world is turned upside down and every which way but loose!

Overwhelmed is an understatement of all the feelings that had to be flowing through and around Job. His friends were full of advice, his brain was on overload and he just wanted to give up. Ever been there? Do you see yourself in these passages?

I did and do at times. In verse 11 of chapter 40, he said the Lord humbled him. Even outcasts oppose him and everyone wants to destroy him. One of my favorites was in verse 14...they come at me from all directions. They jump on me when I am down. I live in terror now. Ever felt like this? When you are down it seems like everybody wants to kick you? Well, the devil does and he will use everybody and everything to help dig our holes or pits deeper!!! Every crack in our armor is a place for darkness to creep through and feed our spirit, our heart, and our being with dark thoughts!

I am reminded once again through this reading to keep my eyes on things above, to be in God's Word, to be in the company of believers who give hope and light! We are allowed to make choices that help us crawl back out of the pit and it is my prayer that we each make the right choice today, when we reach to climb out once more...

Prayer Special - Let's pray today for the hot spot between Israel and the Palestinians. Let's pray for all leaders to attempt to defuse this difficult situation.

Indeed!

Job 26: 7 - 14
God stretches the northern sky over empty space
and hangs the earth on nothing.
He wraps the rain in his thick clouds, and the clouds don't burst with the weight.
He covers the face of the moon, shrouding it with his clouds.
He created the horizon when he separated the waters; he set the boundary between day and night.
The foundations of heaven tremble: they shudder at his rebuke.
by his power the sea grew calm.
By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.
His Spirit made the heavens beautiful, and his power pierced the gliding serpent.
There are just the beginning of all he does, merely a whisper of his power.
Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?
Indeed, every where we look God's power and wisdom are shown! Look around today! Give Him praise and glory for all that He is!!!!

Sweet blessings,
