    Job is able to put the words “good,” “afflicted,” “learning” and “law” together in one sentence. And we could add the word "joy," too.

    Saturday of the 26th week in course Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the OT, has the prayer of somebody in the midst of a crisis: “It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.” It may very well be a prayer of Job, whose life and response we have been studying over the ...read more

    If we think about it, if we go through a fearful time in our life, when all turns out okay and are settled, we tend to be joyful.

    For the past 3 weeks, we have been talking about having a reverent fear of God, about feeling secure from fear in the arms of God, and replacing our fear with courage. Today, we are going to talk about bringing it all together and turning our fears into joy. If we think about it, if we go through ...read more

    Turning Tests Into Testimonies

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,323 views

    To advance through the predetermined goals that God ordains in each of us, He sends tests. Sometimes we cannot go on to the next exam until we finish the one we are in. With this perspective, we march forward with the help and grace of God.

    Turning Tests into Testimonies James 1:12-16 When James tells us do not err, I believe it means not to misunderstand what his point is in vs. 12, 13. There is an explanation why in one verse James relates temptation with God, and in the next says it isn’t God who tempts. In the original wording ...read more

    Sometimes God allows things to get difficult so He can produce greater joy in and through and with us. Jesus knew that His Father often used tragedy to cause people to look to heaven for solutions to their problems.

    John 15:11-16 Illustration: A cynic asked an elderly believer who had endured great physical pain for 20 years, "What do you think of your God now?" The godly sufferer replied, "I think of Him more than ever." Sorrow can be the means of bringing us heart-to-heart with God. When repeated strokes ...read more

    This Plague came from the land, as the two former came from the river. Aaron "smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice (“Kinnim”) in man, and in beast"(ver. 17). This was a new blow at Egyptian idolatry because the earth was worshipped as well as the river.

    The Dust is Turned to Lice (Exodus 8:16-19) Exodus 8:16-19 (NIV) Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the ground,’ and throughout the land of Egypt, the dust will become gnats.” They did this, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with the staff ...read more

    Turning Complaints Into A Celebration

    Jesus was often judged harshly by the religious authorities in his day. The Pharisees and the scribes believed wrongly that he was condoning the sins of people whose company he shared. Instead Christ came to make of them "new creations" (2 Cor. 5:17).
