“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding.” Job 38:4
“The Lord, in this discourse, humbles Job, and brings him to repent of his passionate expressions concerning God's providential dealings with him; and this he does, by calling upon Job to compare God's being from everlasting to everlasting, with his own time; God's knowledge of all things, with his own ignorance; and God's almighty power, with his own weakness. Our darkening the counsels of God's wisdom with our folly, is a great provocation to God. Humble faith and sincere obedience see farthest and best into the will of the Lord.” Matthew Henry
I am so excited about our study on Thursday concerning the conclusion of Job’s incredibly difficult journey. We have sloshed through deep mud with Job, now we come to beautiful green meadows and sunshine as God speaks. We all find ourselves in dark valleys at times in our lives and all that God has to say to Job should encourage and soothe our hearts during those times. Even if you have missed a good deal of our Job studies, you do not want to miss this one—Thursday morning April 25th.
Also, all ladies are invited to come next Thursday morning May 2nd at 9:30 for a special time with our Ladies Conference speaker Teri Gasser. I particularly asked if she would speak on the subject of “Growing Grand, Not Old.” I read her book by this title and found it very interesting and helpful; you may find it life changing. We will follow our time with her on the 2nd with a potluck lunch.
