Scripture Job 38:2 “Who is this who darkens counsel By words without knowledge? <\/p>\n
Observation: This is the chapter in the Bible that I\u2019m so glad that I\u2019m not Job. God lets him have and justifiably so. Yet I deserve the same tongue lashing as he got. I\u2019m always questioning my Lord and I worry all the time. I still haven\u2019t found out if I\u2019ll have a job waiting to see if the contract will be renewed. I start my day saying that I will trust Him, but it doesn\u2019t take long before I\u2019m anxious and want to take things in my own hands to get an answer. I forget He is God the creator of all things and owes me nothing, he has already given me so much more than I deserve. I speak without knowledge and yet God tells me to ask and He will give me the wisdom that I will need.<\/p>\n
Application: My prayers must be more than mere words, I need to act on what I tell my Lord. If I tell Him that I will trust Him than I better let go of all that bothers me and trust Him to do what He wants done. If I tell Him that I\u2019m going to do something than I better do it without excuses, If I promise Him, I will not lust after things than I better do so and ask Him for strength and the discipline to be obedient. God never told me that I can do it on my own as a matter of fact He told me I couldn\u2019t and that I will need Him to live this life in a way that pleases Him. It\u2019s time I took my words and made them action that will be pleasing to my Lord.<\/p>\n
Prayer: My Lord you\u2019ve heard me say it over and over again how I\u2019m going to live my life to glorify you and that I\u2019m not doing a very good job, in fact I\u2019m doing a terrible job. Lord help me do what I say I\u2019m going to do and have me be obedient to you always. Please take this anxiety from me and give my soul peace. Give me direction and a purpose that will please you. I\u2019m here for You and You only. I love you, Lord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
