Old Testament Job 33:1-34:37
Job receives council from yet
another person. 27 ‘Then He comes to men and says, I sinned, and
perverted what was right. But I did not
het what I deserved. 28He redeemed my
soul from going down to the pit, and I will live to enjoy the light.”
Job continues to hold unto his
innocence. Even though he knows people
think he is a liar.
Life lesson; It doesn’t matter if
people think of us, it matters what God thinks of us.
34:21”His eyes are on the
ways of men He sees their every step.”
New Testament;
Mathew 23:1-39 Jesus warns of the
false intentions of the teachers of the law and the Pharisees. 23:11 “The greatest among you will be your servant,
12For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will
be exalted.” 25-26”Woe to you, teachers
of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!
You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but the inside they are full
of greed and self indulgence. Blind
Pharisees! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside
also will be clean.”
Life lesson; this reminds me of
concentrating on dieting and exercise without first getting our hearts right
with God, true beauty comes from the inside!!!
Psalm 18:25-36 32“It is God
who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. 33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
He enables me to stand to the heights.”
Life lesson; What ever you do,
trust God is with you and you will be enabled!

Old Testament Job 35:1-37:24
Elihu tells Job of God’s greatness
and His ways.
36:18 “Be careful that no one entices you by
riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside. 19 Would your wealth or even
all your mighty efforts sustain you so you would not be in distress?”
Life lesson; as I read this, I feel
Job already knows these things about God, that he must be feeling patronized by
Elihu. Then I look closer at Elihu’s
words and appreciate the truth he speaks.
Sometimes it is easy to disregard what people are saying if you think
you “already know it all”. Yet, If I
take the time and energy to truly listen, I find wisdom.
New testament; Mathew 24:1-31
Jesus speaks of signs of the end of
the age.
24:9 “Then
you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be
hated by all nations because of me. 10At
that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each
other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Becuse
of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.”
Life Lesson; do you ever feel your
love growing cold? Continue to read His
word. Be filled with His Holy Spirit and
trust in His faithfulness so you can continue to love with God’s love,
regardless of your circumstances.
Proverbs 4:1-9
5 “Get wisdom, get
understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them.”
