“Help me see that I'm small, that I can't know it all 'cause You're so unpredictable.” – Francesca Battistelli 🤯 Dear wanderer for the Father’s wisdom, You can read all the books on earth, and you can even travel back to its birth, but you can’t know it all. Compared to God, it’s an overstatement to say our mind is small. Let’s see in the passage below how wherever Job went, the mind of God he couldn’t know. Job 23:8-17 (NASB) 8 “Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him; 9 When He acts on the left, I cannot see Him; He turns to the right, but I cannot see Him. 10 But He knows the way I take; When He has put me to the test, I will come out as gold. 11 My foot has held on to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside. 12 I have not failed the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. 13 But He is unique, and who can make Him turn? Whatev

  “Though He slay me, yet will, yet will… Yet will I trust in Him.” – Men of Standard \(x_x)/ Dear hearer of hunches, Don’t believe everything people say. Inquire first if it is according to the Way. Take this blog of mine for instance. I may be speaking about the Life’s word from my stance, but all is based on the Truth’s reliable worshippers. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6) whose word ever lingers. Let us see here how Job rejects the false theology of his friends and how he declares his trust in God. Job 13:7-16 (KJV) 7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? 8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God? 9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him? 10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. 11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you? 12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

 “Could the maker of the stars hear the sound of my breaking heart?” – Tenth Avenue North </3 left image from YouTube, right image taken in Animal Crossing Dear woebegone weeper, There, there, let it out in the open air… up to heaven’s air, figuratively. Tell God what you feel in all honesty. If you’re not sad, I’m sure you have concerns. This is for you, too, because life is a harvest of lemons planted by the devil’s minions. How do you make lemonade? Don’t just Google or ask somebody. The first thing to do is pray to God for the recipe. Continuing in the book of Job, let us look at how he laid out his questions to the Lord: Job 7:12-20 (NASB) 12 Am I the sea, or the sea monster, That You set a guard over me? 13 If I say, ‘My couch will comfort me, My bed will ease my complaint,’ 14 Then You frighten me with dreams, And terrify me by visions, 15 So that my soul would choose suffocation, Death rather than my pains. 16 I waste away; I will

“You give and take away. My heart will choose to say, ‘Lord, blessed be Your name.’”  – Matt Redman \(‘ ᴑ ’)/ Dear receiver-returner, What we have is not really ours. That’s why when things are taken away from us, let’s not think we’re being robbed. Let us have the same attitude as God’s servant Job. Job 2:3-10 (NKJV) 3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause.” 4 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will surely curse You to Your face!” 6 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.” 7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils from the s

“I will wait on Your word, oh Lord. There Your Spirit speaks, bringing life to the weary soul to the depths of me.”  – Hillsong Worship 🕯️ Dear likely line leaver, Your time will come soon like how the sun depends on the moon to govern the night. On hope, set your sight. Wait for the Light to shine on you and make your wish come true. If you didn’t get that, here’s what I mean: I’m addressing this to those who feel like giving up on waiting on God and I’m telling them to continue hoping for Him to grant their prayers. You could be waiting for the one for you, for this pandemic to end, or for you to get vaccinated. The kind of waiting I’d like to talk about is waiting on a specific instruction before you do something, much like the first one I mentioned. Am I going to commit to this person? Is this my calling? Is this the career path I should be taking? You need a go signal first from God. Let’s learn this from the story about the great flood: Genesis 8:10-19 (NKJV) 10 And he waited ye

“I'm Yours if You can break me down, break through these walls I hide behind.” – Tenth Avenue North 🎭 Dear wall-enclosed wrongdoer, Let’s admit it: it’s more than just occasionally when we do the wrong thing. If we claim we have no sin, it’s ourselves we’re deceiving (1 John 1:8). Even the converted apostle Paul said, “What I hate, that I do” (Romans 7:15). We can’t say that once we’re Christians, our sins will be few. What we can rejoice in is that we are saved evermore from the wages of sin once we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior. However, while we’re in this world, we’re in a battlefield where we wrestle with the devil. There will be times when we do evil things like have anger toward a fellow human or call someone a fool, which both show hatred and make the hater a murderer. When we think of evil, we think of violence and destruction. We wouldn’t think of a mere disobedience of one rule, but sin is disobedience of God’s commands, and its wages is death (Romans 6:23
