Service today was on the continuing series of "Lesser Known Bible Figures." Today we spoke about the Book of Job (intense book) and more specifically about Job's wife (who didn't have a name) and even more specifically, about the power of choice. No matter what the devil throws at you or what occurs in your life, you always have the power to choose your attitude. Bad things will occur, we do not know how big or small, or how sever, emotionally catastrophic, or destructive it might be but challeneges wil occur in this life. Job's wife choosed to poke fun at her husbands belief and told him to curse God and forget about his superstitous belief, BUT Job decided to stay strong. We should decide to stay strong whenever any challenge pops up.
We should never fear. Our confidenc e should stay planted in God, always and forever no matter the adversity or how big our challenges may be. Remember we have an army of Angels with us. 2/3 angels against 1/3 which is the demons. But not only do we have angels, we also have God.
This passage also states how we should not hold goods for those who deserve it. When it is in our powerto act, we should never hold any good to anyone who desrves it. Mind you it should never go to a thief or someone who does not deserve it, wether that be a bandit, or some bum, make sure you give that good to the person who has been working and truthfully deserves it.
And let us not forget that if you have these goods, be obliged to give it to the person once you have it, and do not wait until later. A man of God acts without hesitation when he needs to. If you have a good that belongs to someone and have it with you at that very second and that person is in front of you at that very moment, give it to them.
Lesson: Don't ever be afraid. Trust in God. Give to the deserving when you have the capability to act (give) and do not wait until later. Trust in God with all your heart, follow Him and rejoice in His Truths.
