Many Verses - I Will Explain

For God may speak in one way,
or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it.
In a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds,
Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction.
In order to turn man from his deed,
And conceal pride from man,
He keeps back his soul from the Pit,
And his life from perishing by the sword.
"Man is also chastened with pain on his bed,
And with strong pain on his bed,
And with strong pain in many of his bones,
So that his life abhors bread,
And his soul succulent food.
His flesh wastes away from sight,
And his bones stick out which once were not seen.
Yes, his soul draws near the Pit,
And his life to the executioners.
"If there is a messenger for him,
A mediator, one among a thousand,
To show man His uprightness,
Then He is gracious to him, and says,
'Deliver him from going down to the Pit;
I have found a ransom';
His flesh shall be young like a child's,
He shall return to the days of his youth.
He shall pray to God,
and He will delight in him,
He shall see His face with joy,
For He restores to man His righteousness.
Then he looks at men and says,
'I have sinned, and perverted what was right,
And it did not profit me.'
He will redeem his soul from going down to the Pit,
And his life shall see the light.
"Behold, God works all these things,
Twice, in fact, three times with a man,
To bring back his soul from the Pit,
That he may be enlightened with the light of life.
"Give ear, Job, listen to me;
Hold your peace, and I will speak.
If you have anything to say, answer me;
Speak, for I desire to justify you.
If not, listen to me;
Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom."
Job 33:14-33

     I started reading, the more I read, the more I had to post - I couldn't shorten it. God knows us and knows our hearts without Him. With God, I do feel youthful or just happy. No fear period, of being embarrassed or not having answers. It's hard to explain, if I am not afraid to admit my love for God then life's questions are answered for me. I pray that you know what I mean.
The first time I read Job, I felt sorry for Job. The second time I read it I understood, and I thought Job was a whiner. Job was a righteous man, which pleased God. Job began questioning God and whining about his misfortune.
God can be challenged by no one. If things get bad for us, then we need to ask God for help and not question Him. We are here for Him, and that is the way it is.  Tell God you love Him.

     Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Read your Bible.
