When God Says No!
June
26, 2013 – Job 5
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully
continue our Feast in Job 5. Eliphaz feels
that Job must be sinning. Eliphaz thinks God is responsible for Job’s poor
condition. Eliphaz cautions Job to accept his plight as God's correction so his
problems will end. “26 You shall come to your grave
in ripe old age,
like a
sheaf gathered up in its season.
27 Behold, this we have searched out; it is true.
Hear,
and know it for your good.”” Job 5:26-27
English Standard Version (ESV). Sometimes we have to accept the
fact that God is saying no to our requests. Maybe God is holding out for something
better for us. Never forget God knows
our mind and we can’t begin to fathom God’s mind. “9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is
made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my
weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
2
Corinthians 12:9 ESV. We
must realize that God has our best interest in mind. God could be allowing us to endure our fate
because the Lord’s grace is sufficient.
Like Paul we can learn to be content with in our circumstances. This doesn’t mean that we have to stop
asking Jesus to improve our condition. Just remember, God isn’t a genie waiting for
us to rub the lamp. Sometimes we must
realize that in our own interest God will say no!
He loves you, Jesus is calling! Do you hear
that small voice calling; sinner com home?

“Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I
cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares
the Lord.” Jeremiah 23:24 ESV.

25, 2013 – Job 4
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully
continue our Feast in Job 4; Eliphaz seeing Job’s condition judges him guilty
of angering God. Eliphaz assumes that
God's is punishing Job. Eliphaz has a vision that further convinces him of
Job’s sin. “20
Between morning and evening they are beaten to pieces;
they
perish forever without anyone regarding it.
21 Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them,
do they
not die, and that without wisdom?’” Job 4:20-21 English Standard Version (ESV). If we didn’t have the Word of God would we be telling Job
to repent? When we see people in
trouble, sick or dirty do we assume that they don’t know Jesus? “Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him?
declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah
23:24 ESV. Rather than passing judgment when we see a
person in trouble we should realize that only God knows their heart. We
would be wise to offer help or prayer, telling them that Jesus loves them and
has their back. Remember God knows the
heart of all men including ours.
He loves you, Jesus is calling! Do you hear
that small voice calling; sinner com home?

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;

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
