“So why must light be given to the miserable and life to the bitter in spirit?”
Job 3:19 CJB

The answer to this is always because God loves us! So no matter how dark and bitter things may be in our lives, God’s light will always shine!

“And this is the message which we have heard from Him and proclaim to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him-none!”
1 John 1:5 CJB

This is good news if we are going through some rough times that may seem dark! God is full of joy and light, so don’t look at the darkness, but to His light! Where can we find His light? In His Word!

“Your Word is a lamp for my foot and a light on my path.”
Psalm 119:105 CJB

So let’s be in His Word, basking in His light!
Have a blessed day!

“Adonai asked the Adversary, Where are you coming from? The Adversary answered Adonai, From roaming through the earth, wandering here and there.”
Job 2:2 CJB

As we saw in the previous chapter the Adversary is always going around sowing wickedness!

“The Adversary answered Adonai, Skin for skin! A person will give up everything he has to save his life.”
Job 2:4 CJB

This is what the Adversary does, puts you in situations that you will choose fleshly desires instead of godly desires, he puts you in positions of choosing health, wealth and social standing over the perfect plan of God!

“As high as the sky is above the earth are My ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:9 CJB

Man’s ways never really work out, but no matter how difficult it may be, God’s ways will always work out!
Have a blessed day seeking God!

“Adonai asked the Adversary, Where are you coming from? The Adversary answered Adonai, From roaming through the earth, wandering here and there.”
Job 1:7 CJB

This shows that Satan is always moving about causing destruction! He roams around deceiving, so be alert!

“Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
1 Peter 5:8 CJB

The point here is that we are always to be on guard and watching and praying about all situations!

“Therefore, submit to God. Moreover, take a stand against the Adversary, and he will flee from you.”
James 4:7 CJB

So let’s be on guard, be in the word and pray about all things.
Have a blessed day!

“King Achashverosh laid tribute on the land, the coast and the islands.”
Esther 10:1 CJB

Who and what do we give our tribute to? God or the world!

“But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to give so willingly in this way? For all things come from You, so that we have given You what is already Yours.”
1 Chronicles 29:14 CJB

The answer is we are really nothing, but when we give to God even the smallest of things out of our hearts, He will honor it and bless it! Understand we are just passing through, so store up treasure in Heaven, because you can’t take it with you!

“For in your presence we are temporary residents, just passing through, as all our ancestor were-our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope”
1 Chronicles 29:15 CJB

So let’s realize our hope and future is in Adonai! So let’s spread that good news with those around us as we walk-in this strong land!
Have a blessed day in Adonai

“All the officials of the provinces, the army commanders, the governors and those occupied with the king’s affairs helped the Jews; because they were afraid of Mordekhai.”
Esther 9:3 CJB

Whose side are you on, the side of God and His people or the enemy and his people?

“What, then, are we to say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
The world will come at you, but God will prevail!”
Romans 8:31 CJB

When we are on the side of God and His people we will have perfect success! We really need to focus on God and HIs Word to know where He stands!

“They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you,” says Adonai, “to rescue you.”
Jeremiah 1:19 CJB

The pagan world will come at you! Why? Because it hates you, the good news is God loves you!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. “
John 3:16 CJB

Have a blessed day knowing God loves you, so walk in His ways today!
