It is Good to Praise God in Song
I love that God uses songs to teach and remind us of his commands (Deuteronomy 31:19&21). And that He enjoys the praises of His people in song with "the music of the lute and harp, to the melody of the…

Fear and Love
God's perfect mix for our good. Do we fear God enough to follow His Word. And with that fear, do we love Him enough to ask for His forgiveness and favor to enjoy His presence in our lives? Oh, Lord, "Teach…

When will we learn that God is Holy?
When will we learn that God is Holy. That we cannot come to Him on our terms or that what we believe would be a right and proper sacrifice is what God desires. Cain was mad that God was pleased with Abel's…

Moses reminds God
Interesting how Moses speaks with God. He reminds God that these are His people and that he (Moses) has found favor in God's sight and that God knows Moses by name. Moses goes on to tell God that if God…

reckoning
Although God used the actions of the brothers for good in the long term, their actions were still evil and they felt weight of what they had done. Distress to their father and a fear for their own lives.

sounds like Matthew 4:4
Jesus said, "Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." I wonder, was he thinking of Job? Was Jesus strengthened or encouraged by the remembrance of Job's faith?
