2020, Job

First Drink

Just a quick, short thought to share this morning. Admittedly, taken out of context and lifted from the situation.  

Job 8:11-12 (AMP)11 “Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the rushes or reed grass grow without water?  12 “While it is still green (in flower) and not cut down, Yet it withers before any other plant [when without water].source


I know little about papyrus (perhaps I’ll go to Duck, Duck Go a little later and read up on it) but without water, it withers faster than other vegetation. That’s what the verses say.

So do I. So do we. Without the Water of The Word, we wither quickly — before morning coffee if The Water of The Word is not our First Drink.

Good Wednesday Morning . . .

Update.
From Britannica

Papyrus, writing material of ancient times and also the plant from which it was derived, Cyperus papyrus (family Cyperaceae), also called paper plant. The papyrus plant was long cultivated in the Nile delta region in Egypt and was collected for its stalk or stem, whose central pith was cut into thin strips, pressed together, and dried to form a smooth thin writing surface.

Minuscule of Misery

11 “What strength do I have left, that I should wait [and hope]? And what is ahead of me, that I should be patient and endure? From Job 6 – source


I have in my soul felt what Job described here, yet for a minuscule of the misery compared to his.

And GOD delivered him to a future he could not have imagined.

This corrects me and encourages me.  :)
You’re welcome.
Job 42:10 When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!

16 Job lived 140 years after that, living to see four generations of his children and grandchildren. 17 Then he died, an old man who had lived a long, full life.  source

Old and New

Gallery Leave a comment

In both the Old and the New Testaments we have GOD telling us there is a spiritual enemy; he is an enemy that we cannot see with our physical eyes (although we can see his results). In both the Old and the New He has told us this enemy is alive and is SEEKING. And who/what is he seeking? I hope you will read the following Texts and will find the answers for yourselves. Hey, you’re at home anyway, what else have you got to do? :)

Job 1:6-7
Job 2:1-2
1 Peter 5:8-10
John 10:10

As is my custom, if you will click HERE a new window will open with four translations of the Text listed above.

So, did you find the answers?

That Much!

Laundry.
Laundry room.
Adding lavender and lemon to improve the organic smell. Shake.
And that’s what I have left from a new, not one load used bottle. Yep. I dropped it on our ceramic floor, off flew the top and out came . . . that much!

A while later and I am here. Better than I was.

I have this to say Remember Job. Now before you go laundry room ballistic on me this is N.O.T.H.I.N.G. Nothing! in comparison but it did bring me to board a thought train that has taken me to a good place. A place to praise JESUS while on my knees mopping up that ceramic floor and to share this with you.

Remember Job.
What I want you to remember is that Satan did NOTHING to Job; took NOTHING from Job, afflicted Job with NOTHING, NOTHING until he received permission from DADDY GOD!

No laundry room mishap or the worst of all tragedies that could ever hit our souls comes to the Child of GOD without the Father’s permission. 

Remember Job. And remember

Psalm 84 KJV 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. source

Romans 8: (TLV) 32 He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is the one who condemns? It is Messiah, who died, and moreover was raised, and is now at the right hand of God and who also intercedes for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Messiah? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? source

Remember Job. Remember Psalm 84:11. Remember Romans 8:32-35.  And Remember the Devil’s End and remind him from time to time.  :)
