Word Wednesday #24

“Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?” (Job 19:22)

In strong judgment, we tend to forget that the other person is but flesh – facing the struggles and temptations of the flesh. Instead of harsh judgment, We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.” (Romans 15:1) If the individual is not showing rebellion to God and His Word, who are we to judge and condemn?

Words Wednesday #23

“Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.” (Job 13:22)
We often think about the latter part: God hearing and answering when we call. But what about the first half? Do I listen and answer when He calls?

“Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.” (Job 14:15)

Word Wednesday #22

“Teach me Thy way, O Lord, 
and lead me in a plain path, 
because of mine enemies.” 
(Psalm 27:11)

 Following God is not complex . . . unless we try to mix our way with God’s way. He will clearly show us the way, but so often our preconceived ideas or worldly thoughts will mask the way.

Word Wednesday #21

“Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, 
neither let me give flattering titles unto man. 
For I know not to give flattering titles; 
in so doing my maker would soon take me away.” 
(Job 32:21-22)

Elihu was willing to speak the truth plainly, omitting any flattery that may have gained man’s favor. Am I willing to do the same? Or am I so keen on keeping myself in “good standing” with others that I hide truth behind flattering speeches?

Word Wednesday #18

“Great peace have they which love Thy law: 
and nothing shall offend them.” 
(Psalm 119:165)

When we love God’s Word, we will not be offended. However, because we love God’s Word, we will be grieved at those who do not follow it (“I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not Thy Word.” Psalm 119:158) and zealous when It is forgotten(“My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten Thy Words.” Psalm 119:139)

Word Wednesday #16

“I have not departed from Thy judgments: 
for Thou hast taught me.” 
(Psalm 119:102)

When it is God Who has taught me directly from His Word, I am more sensitive to keep it than if “it was ‘only’ the preacher who said that.”
