The Verses “Then Job responded,‘Listen carefully to my speech,And let this be your way of consolation.Bear with me so that I may speak;Then after I have spoken, you may mock. As for me, is my complaint to a mortal?Or why should I not be impatient?Look at me, and be astonished,And put your hand over your mouth.Even when I remember, I am disturbed,And horror takes hold of my flesh. Why do…

Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” (John 12:24, NASB 1995) The thought lingers in my mind: What will grow out of me? When my life has reached its final breath, and the seed of my heart is sown into eternity, what will it produce? I reflect…

“Then Zophar the Naamathite responded,‘Therefore my disquieting thoughts make me respond,Even because of my inward agitation.I listened to the reprimand which insults me,And the spirit of my understanding makes me answer. Do you know this from ancient times,From the establishment of mankind on earth,That the rejoicing of the wicked is short,And the joy of the godless momentary?Though his arrogance reaches the heavens,And his head touches the clouds,He perishes forever like…

The Verses “My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished,The grave is ready for me.Certainly mockers are with me,And my eye gazes on their provocation. Make a pledge for me with Yourself;Who is there that will be my guarantor?For You have kept their hearts away from understanding;Therefore You will not exalt them.He who informs against friends for share of the spoils,The eyes of his children also will perish. But He…

The Verses “Then Job responded,‘I have heard many things like these;Miserable comforters are you all!Is there no end to windy words?Or what provokes you that you answer?I too could speak like you,If only I were in your place.I could compose words against youAnd shake my head at you.Or I could strengthen you with my mouth,And the condolence of my lips could lessen your pain. If I speak, my pain is…
