Closer Day By Day

We finally come to the end of the book of Job.  While it has been challenge to read and write about it, I am sure that you, like me, have gained a deeper understanding of the trials of Job and what it means for us today.  Take a moment to think about what you have [...]

The more I read the book of Job, the more I realized how ignorant man is.  And yet, we choose to boast of what little knowledge and wisdom we have.  Progress and worldly knowledge has blinded us to the omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of God.  Let’s see what else God has to say to Job [...]

Elihu ends his counsel towards Job by reminding him that NOTHING can compare to God. His power and presence is awesome and when He speaks, we must listen. But I think nothing quite prepared everyone when God Himself decide to speak for Himself. God has been hearing the friends of Job speak for Him by [...]

Yesterday, I spent a great day in Church learning more about His Words and how we can use them to speak to our friends and loved ones about Jesus and our Christian beliefs. For those of you who missed out – I would strongly urge that you attend the next sessions conducted by the Church [...]

Last week, we were introduced to the 4th friend of Job – Elihu.  However, we did not talked much about what he said because I said it would be better to look at what he said together with today’s passage. Bible Passage:  Job 33-34 But I must confess… while I can read the passage with [...]

The good old days!  People my age tend to always talk about those good old days… Were they really better than today? Job also spent quite a bit looking back today. Bible Passage:  Job 29-30 We find that as Job’s trials continued, and coupled with the ‘advice’ of his 3 friends that wore him out, [...]

Sundays around my neighbourhood is always a busy place. Even though it is supposed to be an ‘off’ day for both parents and children, you will find that for many of them, they are just as busy, if not busier on a Sunday.  The children seem to rush from one enrichment class to the next [...]

Today we have one of the shortest chapters found in Job.  In fact, the 2 chapters combined are shorter than even some of the other chapters of Job! Bible Passage:  Job 25-26 It is an interesting exchange of views between Bildad and Job today.  While both were giving their viewpoints, there is something that struck [...]

Today we hear only the words of Job. Bible Passage: Job 23-24 I think most of us can empathize with Job in Chapter 23 when he laments that he seeks God forwards, backwards, left and right and yet, does not find God. There are times in the midst of our trials where despite our prayers [...]
