God: Take Two Job splutters a mere two verses in response to God’s line of questioning. Wouldn’t you be a little freaked out, too? And then…God cuts him off. He’s known to be an interrupter. This time, he has some important news: Job is not guilty or innocent, just powerless. Job has been condemning God to justify himself, and that is just plain uncool. Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls! https://temtube.com/#newvideo#bibleverse#bible
