Thank You Jesus for all You have done for me. Thank You for loving me when I have been most unlovable.

Thank you loving Father for today. I awakened to find that all of my famiy is yet with me. I have all members of my body functioning as they are designed by you. I commit myself to you for Your service and rest in the knowledge that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. I pray as David prayed in Psalm 19:14, "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight. You, Lord are my strength and my redeemer."

It's so exciting to see how Job responded to the difficult things the Lord allowed Satan to do to him. We are victorious through our Lord and Job continued to argue against being persecuted because of sin. It's so neat how Job does praise the Lord and how the Lord returns all of his children and his wealth. But you know without a doubt that the important thing to Job is to walk worthy of the Lord in all of his actions and heart motives.

These Psalms were such a joy to read. Some Psalms to praise the Lord and so Psalms are cries out for God's help as he runs from King Saul and his enemie

Wow! That was some awesome reading. Job was a great book. Love the conversations which took place. God sure did let Job have it even though he double blessed him in the end.
I know that I will enjoy the Psalms. That and Proverbs will prove to be interesting, exciting and deep!

Okay, I've got to be honest. From about 2 Kings through Nehemiah is pretty slow going. This king and that king sinning, "doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord." And then Chronicles goes and repeats the whole thing!!! But I made it, and now I'm getting into some of the best stuff in the Old Testament.

Today I finished Job and got a start on the Psalms. That Job, though, that thing is a piece of work. Not exactly the most cheerful stuff ever written, but absolutely fascinating. Which of us has not felt like one of these characters at some point in our lives? Either self-pitying like Job, or self-righteous like his "friends"? We give advice, we pontificate, we say, "Woe is me!" Seldom do I hear God shouting at me from the whirlwind, "Who do you think you are?" Either it's because He's so forgiving, or it's because I'm so wrapped up in myself, I wouldn't hear Him if He did speak.
