No Hope Without Jesus!

24, 2013 – Job 3
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully
begin our Feast in Job 3; Job
complains that he was born. He talks like a man who had never known God. “25 For the
thing that I fear comes upon me,
and what
I dread befalls me.
26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;
I have
no rest, but trouble comes.”” Job
3:25-26 English Standard Version (ESV). Many years ago I had a loved one who got
hooked on drugs. The
drug was so addicting that this person did crimes against their own family,
and abandoned loved ones for the drug.
As I sought the Lord in prayer and went from one organization to
another looking for help all of them had one thing in common. They all said; unless a person want’s help
there is nothing that could be done.
My wife and I continued to pray and seek God in the name of
Jesus. A place called The Walter
Hoving Home (a Christian non-government establishment) said that if she would
just ask for their help they would take her in. They didn’t say anything
about if she really wanted help or if she wanted to know Jesus, all she had
to do was choose them over jail. Looking at a long sentence that was a no
brainer for her, she asked to be transferred from Jail to the home. A long sentence was imposed by the Judge,
however if she would go immediately into the eighteen month program at the
home. Stay for all eighteen months and finish their program she would finish
her sentence on parole. She happily
chose the program. She hated it;
however the punishment she faced for leaving was so bad she chose to
stay. Each day she started out with
mandatory bible study, prayer, self-examination and whatever job she had to
do as part of the housekeeping for the Home.
She was brought up in a
Christian home and accepted Jesus as a young lady long before she started
drugs. Even though she wasn’t faithful Jesus was. “But the Lord is faithful. He
will establish you and guard you against the evil one.”
2
Thessalonians 3:3 ESV. After six months in the program she renewed
her relationship with Jesus and finished the eighteen month program without
problems. That was about fifteen years
ago. She went back to college got a bachelor’s
degree. She married and is still trusting
Jesus today. She strayed from Jesus he
never abandoned her. Without Jesus there
is no hope!
Softly and sweetly, Jesus is calling! Do you
hear that small voice calling; sinner com home? Do you want to choose good over evil? If
the answer is yes please click the following link;
This Feast belongs to Jesus

strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not
be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 ESV
