Psalm 3

Psalm 3:3, “My glory and the One who lifts up my head.” We will all experience times of trouble and a heavy head/heart but God is our glory. God is the reason we lift our voices and sing and He is the one who pulls us out of our slumps. Verse 4 says David criedContinue reading “Psalm 3”

Psalm 2

Here’s the drawing I created for Psalm 2. If there’s one verse that stood out to me it’s this, “Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice in trembling” (verse 11). Even though the Lord loves us soooo incredibly much, we must never forget WHO He is and His status over all. I pray that IContinue reading “Psalm 2”

Psalm 1

I was feeling a little unenthused about starting the book of Psalms. I’m not a fan of poetry and Job was a poetic book as well so I was feeling “over it.” However, I prayed that the Lord restore in me a joy for reading His word every morning and spending time with Him. WhileContinue reading “Psalm 1”

Psalm 46: 1-2

I am once again deviating from writing about Job because I’ve also been doing a bible study conducted by my church. Today’s reading was Psalm 46:1-2 and it’s too good not to share. Here’s what it says: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, evenContinue reading “Psalm 46: 1-2”

Job 42

It’s the end of the story- spoiler alert if you haven’t read it 😉 and God restores Job’s life and makes Job’s friends and the townspeople give stuff to Job but first Job had to repent AND pray for his friends. I can imagine that Job didn’t necessarily want to pray for his friends whoContinue reading “Job 42”

Job 36-39

Job 36 Elihu is speaking to Job about the power of the Lord. Elihu clearly reveres the Lord and understands His might and power. Elihu gives lots of good advice concerning the Lord, such as: to remember all the great things He has done and to praise Him always. However, Elihu misses the mark andContinue reading “Job 36-39”

Job 34

Job 34:4 “Let us choose justice for ourselves, let us know among ourselves what is good.” In this chapter, Elihu is speaking to Job. This statement reminds me of the statement made by the Israelites when Moses was leading them to “do what is right in our own eyes.” Both statements are wrong. We don’tContinue reading “Job 34”

2 Corinthians 4: 7-18

I am deviating from Job today because I read this passage as part of my church’s at-home bible study program during the quarantine and I fell in love with this passage. In fact, I think it is my new favorite bible passage. Here’s just a snippet, verses 8-10: “We are hard-pressed on every side, yetContinue reading “2 Corinthians 4: 7-18”

Job 28-29

In Job 28, Job discusses wisdom and gives 4 main points: Wisdom is unfound by man. Wisdom is more precious than gold, rubies, silver, etc. Only God has wisdom and understands it. Therefore, we must fear and obey God because He’s got wisdom- the most precious thing. Job 29:2- “Oh, that I were as inContinue reading “Job 28-29”

Job 27

27:8-10 “For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he may gain much, if God takes away his life? Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him? Will he delight himself in the Almighty? Will he always call on God?” Job knows that this life means nothing without a relationship with God.Continue reading “Job 27”
