Gods promises

When God tests our faith will He find it genuine?

Here we see sodom and Gomorrah get destroyed because of the wickedness that went on there. We see God keep His word toward Abraham giving him a child at 100 years old.

Here we see how important it is to listen to God and trust His timing and the plans He has for us. Abraham and Sarah didn’t do that and because of that we see the repercussions of it til this day in the Middle East.

Here we learn just how strong faith and obedience to God is even in the Old Testament. Abram connected to God not by his works but by the faith he had in Him each and everyday of his life.

Today we conclude the book of Job. We learn from the book of Job that our toughest climbs leads to the best views. Job stayed faithful to God through all the hardships and was blessed with double than he had before in his second half of life.

Today we finally hear God speak. After all the questioning we do and Job did through this book, God never responded in anger. Our God is a patient, loving and sovereign God.

Here we hear a lot more from Elihu. We see the humbleness of Job on display as he continues to take the words of those are him like sticks and stones.

Today we learn the power in listening and letting everyone talk. When we talk or “give advice”, like everyone likes to do these days, we aren’t listening and when we listen is when we learn.

Here we see Job reach his lowest point in life, all while reaching his lowest point he still knows God is in control. We learn that we need to listen more than speak so we can know what God is doing in our lives.
