Day 33/365 Bible in a Year

I just had this entire blog written and it deleted itself so I had to start over again... darn it. I guess things happen for a reason, ha ha! So it's going to be a LOT shorter than it was originally going to be. Sorry guys, buut it's late. I guess God wanted me to take it in a bit more.

Today I am reading Psalms 12-14 and Job 9-10. This blog is over Job 9-10.

Chapter 9
God is amazing and has created everything. Done miracle so great and indescribable! He is so great a God and so good a God, yet Job feels like He is out to get him. He feels he can't answer to God because, though he is blameless, He is full of misery and shame. He is as innocent as a puppy. Job feels like God is out to get Him. Have you ever felt that way? God, in this case, let Satan harm Job as a test of faithfulness. Job still has not cursed God. He even wished for a mediator between he and God so he did not have to approach Him with strength instead of weakness..

Chapter 10
Job is absolutely disgusted with his life. He feels like God hates him and just looks for ways to punish him. Like God created him, watched him grow, and just sat and WAITED for him to mess up just ONCe and sin just ONCeE so He could punish him and never forgive him. But wait, guys. Don't forget how we have a loving and FORGIVING God, He loves his creation, sinner or saint. He only hates sin and Satan. So Job is absolutely....WRONG about God here. He is only in agony and is trying to rationalize the goings on. He feels that even though he is innocent that God will still punish him because he is full of misery and shame. Even if he did hold his head high, he feels like God will hunt him down like a lion and attack him, and witness AGAINST him. Basically he feels God is doing the deeds of the evil one... How sad. Why did God not take Job as a baby, so it would be like he never lived and never suffered such pain of loss and boils. His life was going down a dark path of almost no return, but have you noticed? He HAS NOT CURSED GOD ONCE! 

Isn't is about time we took a hold of our lives and told ourselves God is the amazing God. The ONLY God? Isn't it about time we stood up for ourselves against Satan and told him, "You know what, Satan? I can live a better life without you and your ugly temptations, anger, and lust. Without your evil thoughts, your distractions, your name calling, your idol worshipping self. I can do without all of these things. You are gone from my life. God is Lord of my life and Jesus died for me so I wouldn't have to deal with you and all your self-righteous demons.Buh-bye!"

Take a stand for the Lord and tell others about Him. He is glorious. Even though Job is suffering, the time will come when He will receive everything back twice over in Heaven.
