A Day to Remember and Why

 Today is always a day I will remember.  Do you have any of those days?  A day that literally changed your life at that moment and the trajectory of your life.

What do you do with those days?  Just some thoughts from the book of Job that I am reading right now.

Job 2:10  "...Should we accept only good from God and not adversity?"

Job 5:6-11 "For distress does not grow out of the soil, and trouble does not sprout from the ground.  But humans are born for trouble as surely the sparks fly upward.  However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to him.  He does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number.  He gives rain to the earth and sends water to the fields.  He sets the lowly on high, and mourners are lifted to safety."

Job 5:17 "See how happy is the person whom God corrects; so do not reject the discipline of the Almighty."

Job 8:13-15 "Such is the destiny of all who forget God; the hope of the godless will perish.  His source of confidence is fragile, what he trusts in is a spider's web.  He leans on his web, but it doesn't stand firm.  He grabs it, but it does not hold up."

Job 12:12-13  "Wisdom is found with the elderly, and understanding comes with long life.  Wisdom and strength belong to God; counsel and understanding are his."

Job 13:15 "Even if he kills me, I will hope in him."

Job 19:25 "But I know that my Redeemer lives."

Sometimes, we just want to forget some of those days, don't we?  Don't try to forget them or erase them.  Learn from them.  Ask the Lord for wisdom and strength and know that He controls your destiny.  Lean and trust in Him.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
