Day 8 of my 5th Bible Study Journey

Day 8, 8 January 2025

1) Job 24-27

Job 24 

1 (Ac 1:7) "Since times of judgment are not kept by the Almighty,
why do they who know Him not see His days?
2(Dt 19:14; 27:17) Some remove the landmarks;
they violently take away flocks and feed on them.
3 (Dt 24:6) They drive away the donkey of the orphan;
they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 (Pr 28:28; Job 24:14) They turn away the needy;
the poor of the earth are forced to hide.
5 (Job 39:5-7; Ps 104:23) Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert,
they go out to their work, rising early for a prey.
The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
6 They gather their fodder in the field,
and they glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
7 (Ex 22:26-27; Job 22:6) They cause the naked to lodge without clothing,
and they have no covering in the cold.
8 (La 4:5) They are wet with the showers of the mountains
and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9 They snatch the fatherless from the breast
and take a pledge from the poor.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing,
and they take away the sheaf from the hungry.
11 They press out oil within their walls
and tread their winepresses, yet suffer thirst.
12 Men groan from outside the city,
and the soul of the wounded cries out;
yet God does not charge them with wrong.
13 (Jn 3:19-2)0 "They are those who rebel against the light;
they do not know its ways
nor abide in its paths.
14 The murderer, rising with the light, kills the poor and needy,
and in the night he is like a thief.
15 (Ps 10:11) Also the eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
saying, 'No eye will see me';
and he disguises his face.
16 (Jn 3:20) In the dark they break into houses,
which they had marked for themselves in the daytime;
they do not know the light.
17 (Job 3:5) For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death;
if someone recognizes them,
they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 "He is swift as the waters.
Their portion is cursed in the earth.
They do not turn toward the way of the vineyards.
19 (Job 21:13) Drought and heat consume the snow waters;
so the grave consumes those who have sinned.
20 (Pr 10:7; Da 4:14) The womb will forget him;
the worm will feed sweetly on him;
he will be remembered no more,
and wickedness will be broken like a tree.
21 He preys on the barren who do not bear,
and does no good for the widow.
22 But God draws the mighty away with His power;
He rises up, and no man is sure of life.
23 (Pr 15:3) He gives them security, and they rely on it;
yet His eyes are on their ways.
24 (Ps 37:10) They are exalted for a little while but are gone and brought low;
they are taken out of the way like all others
and cut off as the tops of the grain.
25 (Job 9:24) "If it is not so, who will prove me a liar
and make my speech worth nothing?"

Job 24
1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty,
Do they that know him not see his days?
2 Some remove the landmarks;
They violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless,
They take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 They turn the needy out of the way:
The poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert,
Go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey:
The wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
6 They reap every one his corn in the field:
And they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing,
That they have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains,
And embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast,
And take a pledge of the poor.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing,
And they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11 Which make oil within their walls,
And tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12 Men groan from out of the city,
And the soul of the wounded crieth out:
Yet God layeth not folly to them.
13 They are of those that rebel against the light;
They know not the ways thereof,
Nor abide in the paths thereof.
14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy,
And in the night is as a thief.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,
Saying, No eye shall see me:
And disguiseth his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses,
Which they had marked for themselves in the daytime:
They know not the light.
17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death:
If one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 He is swift as the waters;
Their portion is cursed in the earth:
He beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters:
So doth the grave those which have sinned.
20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him;
He shall be no more remembered;
And wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
21 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not:
And doeth not good to the widow.
22 He draweth also the mighty with his power:
He riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth;
Yet his eyes are upon their ways.
24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone
And brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other,
And cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar,
And make my speech nothing worth?

(The Lord knows everything)

Job 25
Bildad Speaks: Man Cannot Be Righteous
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
2 "Dominion and fear are with Him;
He makes peace in His high places.
3 (Jas 1:17; Mt 5:45) Is there any number to His armies?
And upon whom does His light not rise?
4 (Job 9:2; 4:17-19) How then can man be righteous with God?
Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
5 Behold, even the moon does not shine,
and the stars are not pure in His sight;
6 (Ps 22:6; Isa 41:14) how much less man, who is a maggot?
And the son of man, who is a worm?"

Job 25
Bildad's Speech

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 Dominion and fear are with him,
He maketh peace in his high places.
3 Is there any number of his armies?
And upon whom doth not his light arise?
4 How then can man be justified with God?
Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not;
Yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
6 How much less man, that is a worm?
And the son of man, which is a worm?

(Man is sinful, yes, but the Lord makes a way)

Job 26

Job Replies: God's Majesty Is Unsearchable

1 But Job answered:
2 "How have you helped him who is without power?
How have you saved the arm that has no strength?
3 How have you counseled him who has no wisdom?
And how have you plentifully declared sound knowledge?
4 To whom have you uttered words?
And whose breath came from you?
5 (Ge 6:4; Ps 88:10) "The departed spirits tremble under the waters,
and their inhabitants.
6 (Ps 139:8; Pr 15:11) The underworld is naked before Him,
and destruction has no covering.
7 (Job 9:8; Ge 1:1-2) He stretches out the north over empty space,
He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 (Pr 30:4) He binds up the waters in His thick clouds,
and the cloud is not broken under them.
9 (Ps 97:2) He covers the face of the full moon
and spreads His cloud over it.
10 (Job 38:8-11; Pr 8:29) He has circled the waters with boundaries,
until the day and night come to an end.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astonished at His reproof.
12 (Isa 51:15; Jer 31:35) He divides the sea with His power,
and by His understanding He strikes through the proud.
13 (Isa 27:1; Ge 1:2) By His breath He has made fair the heavens;
His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Indeed, these are but a part of His ways,
and how small a whisper we hear of Him!
But the thunder of His power who can understand?"

Job's Reply

1 But Job answered and said,
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power?
How savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom?
And how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom hast thou uttered words?
And whose spirit came from thee?
5 Dead things are formed
From under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Hell is naked before him,
And destruction hath no covering.
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place,
And hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds;
And the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne,
And spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds,
Until the day and night come to an end.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble
And are astonished at his reproof.
12 He divideth the sea with his power,
And by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens;
His hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways:
But how little a portion is heard of him?
But the thunder of his power who can understand?

Job 27
Job's Last Words to His Friends
1 (Nu 23:7; Job 29:1)Moreover Job continued his discourse:
2 (Job 34:5; 2Ki 4:27) "As God lives, who has taken away my judgment,
and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
3 (Ge 2:7; Job 33:4) all the while my spirit is in me,
and the breath of God is in my nostrils,
4 (Job 13:7) my lips will not speak wickedness,
nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 (Job 2:9; 13:15) God forbid that I should justify you.
Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
6 (Job 2:3; Ac 24:16) My righteousness I hold fast and will not let it go;
my heart will not reproach me as long as I live.
7 "Let my enemy be like the wicked,
and he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
8 (Job 11:20; 8:13) For what is the hope of the hypocrite,
though he may gain much, when God takes away his soul?
9 (Pr 1:28; Isa 1:15) Will God hear his cry
when trouble comes upon him?
10 (Job 22:26-27; Ps 37:4) Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
Will he always call upon God?
11 "I will teach you about the hand of God;
what is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
12 Look, all of you have seen it;
why then have you become altogether vain?
13 "This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
and the inheritance that oppressors receive from the Almighty:
14 (Dt 28:41) If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword,
and his offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
15 (Ps 78:64) Those who survive him will be buried in death,
and their widows will not weep.
16 (Zec 9:3) Though he heaps up silver like the dust
and piles up clothing like the clay,
17 (Ecc 2:26; Pr 13:22) he may pile it up, but the just will wear it,
and the innocent will divide the silver.
18 (Job 8:14-15; Isa 1:8) He builds his house like a moth,
and like a booth that the watchman makes.
19 (Job 24:24; Jer 8:2) The rich man will lie down,
but he will not be gathered;
he opens his eyes, and he is not.
20 (Job 15:21; 18:11) Terrors overtake him like floodwaters;
a tempest steals him away in the night.
21 The east wind carries him away, and he departs;
it sweeps him out of his place.
22 For God will cast it upon him and not spare;
he would flee from its power.
23 (La 2:15; Zep 2:15) Men will clap their hands at him
and will hiss him out of his place.

Job 27

1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment;
And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
3 All the while my breath is in me,
And the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
4 My lips shall not speak wickedness,
Nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 God forbid that I should justify you:
Till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go:
My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked,
And he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained,
When God taketh away his soul?
9 Will God hear his cry
When trouble cometh upon him?
10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
Will he always call upon God?
11 I will teach you by the hand of God:
That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it;
Why then are ye thus altogether vain?
13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword:
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death:
And his widows shall not weep.
16 Though he heap up silver as the dust,
And prepare raiment as the clay;
17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on,
And the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 He buildeth his house as a moth,
And as a booth that the keeper maketh.
19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered:
He openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20 Terrors take hold on him as waters,
A tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth:
And as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare:
He would fain flee out of his hand.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him,
And shall hiss him out of his place.

Hebrews 2:9-18

The Pioneer of Salvation

9 (Jn 3:16; Ac 2:33) But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than
the angels to suffer death, crowned with glory and honor, so that He,
by the grace of God, should experience death for everyone.
10 (Lk 24:26; Ro 11:36; Lk 24:46) For it was fitting for Him, for whom
and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, to make
the Author of their salvation perfect through suffering.
11 (Heb 10:10; Mt 25:40) For both He who sanctifies and those who are
sanctified are all of One. For this reason He is not ashamed to call
them brothers,
12 (Ps 22:22) saying:
"I will declare Your name to My brothers;
in the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to You."(Ps 22:22.)
13 (Ps 18:2; Isa 8:17-18) And again:
"I will put My trust in Him." (Isa 12:2.)
And again:
"Here am I and the children whom God has given Me."(Isa 8:18.)
14 (Jn 1:14; 2Ti 1:10; Ge 3:15) So then, as the children share in flesh
and blood, He likewise took part in these, so that through death He might
destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
15 (Ro 8:15; 2Ti 1:7) and deliver those who through fear of death were
throughout their lives subject to bondage.
16 For surely He does not help the angels, but He helps the seed of Abraham.
17 (Da 9:24; Heb 2:14) Therefore, in all things it was necessary for Him
to be made like His brothers, so that He might be a merciful
and faithful High Priest in the things pertaining to God,
to make atonement for the sins of the people.
18 For since He Himself suffered while being tempted, He is able to help
those who are being tempted.

[9] But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the
suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of
God should taste death for every man.
[10] For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things,
in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation
perfect through sufferings.
[11] For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of
one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
[12] Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the
church will I sing praise unto thee.
[13] And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the
children which God hath given me.
[14] Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he
also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might
destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
[15] And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage.
[16] For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him
the seed of Abraham.
[17] Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his
brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things
pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
[18] For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to
succour them that are tempted.  

To improve her sign language skills, Leisa immersed herself in the world of 
the Deaf. Soon she learned the problems they face. The Deaf are awkwardly 
ignored by hearing people, expected to lip-read flawlessly, and routinely get 
passed over for promotions at work. Most public events go uninterpreted.

Leisa's signing steadily improved to the point where she felt at home with the
Deaf. At a party, a Deaf person was surprised to learn Leisa could hear. 
Before Leisa could respond, another friend signed, "She has a Deaf heart." 
The key had been Leisa's willingness to live in their world.

Leisa didn't "condescend" to be with the Deaf. Except for her hearing, she was
like them. But Jesus did stoop to reach all of us-to live in our world. He "was
made lower than the angels for the suffering of death" (Hebrews 2:9). Christ
"he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might
destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;" (v. 14).
In doing so, He freed "them who through fear of death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage." (v. 15). More than that, He was "in all things it behoved 
him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful
high priest in things pertaining to God," (v. 17).

Whatever we face, Jesus knows and understands. 
He hears our heart. He's with us in every way.

Reflect & Pray

What does it mean to you that Jesus has experienced the same hardships you 
face? How might you step into someone else's world for a while?

Thank You, Father, for the gift of Your Son, who brings me into Your family.

Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 4 Under the Mercy

Ps 13:5-6

5 I for my part confide in Your kindness;may my heart exult in Your salvation!
6 I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.

5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

In Sheldon Vanauken's book "A Severe Mercy", Vanauken faced the "severe mercy"
of the untimely death of his wife. His friend C. S. Lewis , who had endured a
similar grief , comforted him through letters,
encouraging him with the exhotation, "Go under the Mercy".
While God's grace deals with sin and forgiveness,
God's mercy deals with the pain pf human existence. We all experience pain
- sometimes as a natural result of wrongs we have done, sometimes unfairly
as a consequence of living in a fallen world.
But for all who hurt, God provides
mercy - respite from pain, and the assurance of a Lord who cares.
David , in Psalm 13 says " I trust in your mercy, your unfailing love."
God's love never fail us, no matter how much we may have failed him.
David knew the consequences of sin; he knew what it meant to fail God,
to rebel against God's faithfulness. Yet David trusted in God's Goodness
rather than depending upon his own; he focused his attention upon the
mercy of the Lord.
We need, like David, to "Go under the mercy", even when it is a
"severe mercy."
Even when circumstances seem bad; even when things seem out of control; even
when we think God has forsaken us, yet his mercy is at work to bring us
fulfillment and cause us to turn to him
with a song of praise on our lips.

Application

a) How have I experienced the mercy of God?

b) How can these verses help me focus on God's
merciful intervention in my life even when circumstances seem
out of control? 

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Mark 4:19

19 But the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the desires for other things entering in choke the word,
and it proves unfruitful.

19 and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word,
and it becometh unfruitful.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

When you are Burdened by Doubt

James 1:2 to 8

Faith and Wisdom

2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations,
3 knowing that the trying of your faith develops patience.
4 But let patience perfect its work, that you may be perfect and complete,
lacking nothing.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men
liberally and without criticism, and it will be given to him.
6 But let him ask in faith, without wavering. For he who wavers
is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed with the wind.
7 Let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect
and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men
liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth
is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13


9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 
11 Give us this day our daily bread. 
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)

2015 Population - 4631302 Muslims about 136493

British Columbia - British Columbia's Muslim Population is growing constantly.
Every week there are immigrants ad refugees coming to the Greater Vancouver 
and surrounding areas.  There are also significant Muslim student populations
in our colleges and universities. Some have even suggested that there are
between 4000  and 5000 Saudi Arabian students alone, without counting all
other nationalities.

Greater Vancouver has an estimated 180000 Muslims, and there are significant 
and growing communities in the Fraser Valley such as in Langley, Abbotsford,
Chilliwack, etc. Including these communities the total population for this
region is about 200000.
Of these, there are an estimated 100000 Iranians, 35000 Arabs, 15000 Ismailis,
more than 20000 Afghanis, 10000 South Asian Muslims, 3000 Turks, and small
numbers from other countries such as Sudan, Somalia, Albania, etc. 
We are seeing some Muslims coming to Christ and we rejoice in that.
A few people also have some ongoing ministry to Muslims in the area,
for which we also rejoice.  Let us agree in that

- the church will catch a vision to pray,
and a burden to train outreach to Muslims
- the church will press in to participate in effective 
discipleship of these new Muslim background believers.

Adding further

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020 

Under the Keep Praying page

When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid  celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that 
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you 
know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 :  17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; 
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants 
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. 
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below: 
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.  20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes
	Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15  : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under 
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the 
house."

Ideas for prayer

- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people - 
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims 
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days! 

My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
