Scripture for today:
Job 31-32; Galatians 5-6
Key Verses for today:
Job 31:4 Does he not see my ways and count my every step?
Galatians 6:7-10 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature[a]will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.ans
Observation: Nothing I can do that God does not know about. He knows my heart and my motives. He knows how much I love my wife and my children and how much of my tithe I honor. What I reap I do sow and cannot escape it no matter how clever I appear.
Application: We all say we like accountability but in reality we despise it. No one enjoys another telling them what they need to do with or in their life. Especially when it come to personal items like our walk with Christ. God does hold each of us accountable whether we like it or not. God does so because He loves us and desires to fill our life with His Father’s will.
Prayer: May I never be deceived to God does not my true colors.
Scripture for Today:
Job 26-27; Mark 15-Mark 16
Key Verse for today:
Job 27:19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;
when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
20 Terrors overtake him like a flood;
a tempest snatches him away in the night.
21 The east wind carries him off, and he is gone;
it sweeps him out of his place.
22 It hurls itself against him without mercy
as he flees headlong from its power.
23 It claps its hands in derision
and hisses him out of his place.
Observation:
Job is not speaking from Liberation Theology which is a voice of the oppressed. Job was wealthy and had lots of livestock and ten children. He had everything but most important he was righteous in God’s eyes. God was the one who recommended to Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job?” Satan believed that Job only followed God because he was a blessed man and if that blessing were taken away Job would curse God. The story of Job is to reveal his true colors.
Application: We know someones true colors when they do not get their way. What is in their heart becomes evident to all. Yes, it is true that we all are happy and cooperative when when life is rosy. But, life is not all rosy but is filled with trials and temptations. Doing SOAP is a deliberate attempt to our motives and attitudes revealing a changed life.
Prayer: May my true colors always bleed a life changed by Jesus.
