“So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God,
for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.”
Hebrews 4:9-11 ESV

Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today. Remember to read the entire passage.

Job 38

There is so very much in the book of Job, and today we are not going to get into the layers and purposes of this important story. But, we are going to listen as God speaks to Job in response to Job’s “fault-finding” (Job 40:2).

In His power God responds from a whirlwind. What an awesome vision. As you read through chapter 38 envision each picture that God gives us that reveal who he is. Write down some of His statements that bring new understanding to God as creator.
As we here on Earth come to greater and greater understanding of the physical world, many put themselves in the place of God. But what evidence does He give of His great power & wisdom?
God’s plan of and for creation is so much greater than we can see with our eyes or understand with our limited intellect. Read Job 42:1-6. What is Job’s response when he realizes his own place in God’s creation?
Do you question why, how, when, what-if, if-only?He has a perfect plan and he knows. WE DO NOT KNOW the purposes, layers, wisdom, knowledge of God. Lay your questions at the feet of God, write them down, confess & trust God!

Praying that you would live knowing that God can do all things and that His purposes will prevail! Praying for you!

He can be seen…

James 1:16-18

The beginning of this passage starts with a warning – what is it?
I think in our culture we sometimes believe that we somehow create the good in our lives. How does James correct that thinking?
God is Creator God & we can be certain that He is unchanging (v. 17c). He doesn’t shift like shadows or sway in the current of cultural change. Read Romans 8:28. Even when events, circumstances & life in general does not seem “good” we can be certain of what truth?!!!!
God is good! He has a perfect plan! What did He choose to do for you and me (v. 18)?
We have been changed by His word of truth – the Gospel of Jesus Christ! And have now taken what place in creation?
We are a kind of first-fruits. Look up what first fruits are (http://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/first-fruits/). Write down your thoughts.
Take time now to praise Him for His perfect, life changing, awesome Gift of His Son – Jesus Christ!

Praising God for His goodness & for His good and perfect gifts (and even those that don’t seem so perfect) He can use all things! Praying for you!
