In chapter 4, Eliphaz (one of Job’s friends) is assuming that all of Job’s troubles must be because of some sin. My bible (edited by Charles F. Stanley) has a really interesting footnote that says, “No one was ever more innocent than Jesus, yet He perished for our sins.” I’m speculating here, but maybe GodContinue reading “Job 4”

Job 2
Job 2:10, “Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” Job saw both sides of the coin and knew that it was important to follow the Lord and be faithful to Him no matter what the circumstances are. We can’t just love God in the good times- we gotta loveContinue reading “Job 2”
Job 1
Job was a man who feared God and God gave him many blessings and protection. Satan questions Job’s motives: does Job only worship God because of all the blessings? Satan does not love or respect humans and doesn’t think Job has an actually good character to still fear God if everything was taken from him.Continue reading “Job 1”
God Takes Time
This morning I read a couple chapters in Esther and I bowed my head to pray and I started having a pity-party for myself. I was feeling like I’ll never measure up to Esther or any other biblical person and God gave me a revelation. Things in the bible did not happen quickly. Every message,Continue reading “God Takes Time”

One day, news traveled to Nehemiah that Jerusalem was in ruin. This is after many Jewish people were released to go back to JerusalemContinue reading “Nehemiah 2”
Ezra 6
Ezra starts off with Cyrus, the king of Persia, letting the Jewish people go back home! Through the word of the Lord, he commanded them to rebuild the temple. And so, the people obeyed and started to build the temple. In Ezra 5, Tattenai, the governor of Shethar-Boznai (across the river from Judah) tries toContinue reading “Ezra 6”

2 Chronicles 10
2 Chronicles 10:7 states, “If you are kind to these people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be your servants forever.” Rehoboam (Solomon’s son) just took over as king because Solomon had passed away. Jeroboam was asking Rehoboam to lighten the load that Solomon had placed on the Israelites. Solomon’sContinue reading “2 Chronicles 10”
