Good morning! How are we faithing? Please please be aware of the heat! Hydrate and rest often. Pray for all the emergency workers in Colorado. They are dealing with weather and high heat...in a fire fight.
Job talked in his affliction about many things but he always remembered who he was and who God was. If we read Job in it's entirety remembering why these things happened to him and his thought process through it all we can gain some real wisdom for when we are afflicted. Picture yourself in his shoes and read Job. Here's a sample;
Job 4:12-21
Now to me a word was secretly brought, and mine ear received a whisper thereof. In thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men: -- Fear came on me, and trembling, and made all my bones to shake; And a spirit passed before my face--the hair of my flesh stood up-- It stood still; I could not discern the appearance thereof: a form was before mine eyes; I heard a slight murmur and a voice: Shall mortal man be more just than +God? Shall a man be purer than his Maker? Lo, he trusteth not his servants, and his angels he chargeth with folly: How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed as the moth! From morning to evening are they smitten: without any heeding it, they perish for ever. Is not their tent-cord torn away in them? they die, and without wisdom.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the wisdom in your Word. Bring to mind your Word in all our grief and joy. Lord we ask for protection in Colorado. We ask for strength and courage for the people enduring all the fires. Lord, we ask the leaders in the middle east wake up to your sovereignty. Guide us and protect us this weekend, in Jesus name, amen
