The Best of the Feast
Aug. 9, 2016 – Job 3
Without Jesus There’s No Hope!
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend
about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in
approximately three years.
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;
“3 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 eighteen 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! If the Lord is
willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.
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,

Today’s Verse; “6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not
one of them is forgotten before God. 7 Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Luke 12:6-7, ESV.
God
Bless You,
Brother
