Meaningful Meetings with the Master

A Christian who enjoys a positive relationship with the Lord will likely say that their private time of worship is what nourishes and sustains them. Since a little directly from God is better than a lot from people, Christians have to know how to feed themselves from the Bible. One’s personal time of worship is … Continue reading Meaningful Meetings with the Master

Faith by the Narrowest of Margins (Job 13:15)

“Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him” (v. 15) is a powerful statement. But it is sometimes isolated from its context while being touted as an unshakable, rock-solid declaration of unwavering faith. Though remarkable, it was “faith by the narrowest of margins. Victory by a whisker.” Some of our victories are narrow;  … Continue reading Faith by the Narrowest of Margins (Job 13:15)

“Helping Out” God (Genesis 16-21)

As so often happens when we’re faced with difficulties, we get impatient and we tend to think God needs our help. When He tests our patience and obedience by sending us trials, we somehow think we need to solve the problem ourselves. After all, the old saying goes, “God helps those who help themselves,” (this … Continue reading “Helping Out” God (Genesis 16-21)

Lessons from Job 1 (Eight Days with Job, #4)

The four lessons from the last post (and one new one today) deserve some additional detail. 1.  We can still worship in spite of mysteries. Job did. Without understanding why disasters cascaded down upon him, Job worshipped God.  The Almighty is not pleased to explain everything to us.  Our faith grows if we continue to … Continue reading Lessons from Job 1 (Eight Days with Job, #4)
