January 24, 2015. Todays Challenge. Job 19:1 - 21:34 Remember: 1. Read the suggested passages every day. 2. Find a verse or verse that hold special meaning for you in that day. 3. Praise God and pray for others in light to the Scripture you covered. 4. Reflect on the passages meaning and possibly journal a few ideas that God might be sharing with you. Todays Reflection: Job argues against Bildad, his friend, in todays reading. He asks how long his friend will continue to crush him with his words. How many times have we found someone in our lives that has words that crush us at every turn, or most turns, or even just sometimes. Well-intentioned dragons are alive and well in all of our lives. They think they have been assigned by God to tell us exactly what they think (not what God thinks). They believe they are Gods representative and speaking from the authority of God. When in reality they are just out to hurt and destroy. These are not the good friends who speak truth with you in love. They are the ones that are happy to be able to tell you a little something that will sting. The friends who come to really speak Gods truth often find it difficult and sorrowful. They do not find joy in our pain. They might cause the pain, but they find it hard to do so. Let us be the kind of friend that speaks truth in love to those who will hear it. God is preparing hearts. Ours and others. Let us listen for when opportunities will present themselves to both speak and listen. However, let us not be like Jobs friend, Bildad, who crushes him with his words. Let us avoid being that kind of friend. Amen and Amen!! What to do with such good friends? Let them go. Enjoy Lost in the Echo by Linkin park Lost In The Echo by Linkin Park (yeah) (yo) You were that foundation Never gonna be another one, no.

Test my will, test my heart Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up Yall go hard, I go smart Hows that working out for yall in the back, huh? Ive seen that frustration Been crossed and lost and told No And Ive come back unshaken Let down and lived and let go So you can let it be known I dont hold back, I hold my own I cant be mapped, I cant be cloned I cant C-flat, it aint my tone I cant fall back, I came too far Hold myself up and love my scars Let the bells ring wherever they are Cause I was there saying... [Chorus] [Chester:] In these promises broken Deep below Each word gets lost in the echo So one last lie I can see through This time I finally let you go!!! Go, go, go. No, you can tell em all now I dont back up, I dont back down I dont fold up, and I dont bow I dont roll over, dont know how I dont care where the enemies are Cant be stopped, all I know; go hard Wont forget how I got this far For every time saying… [Chorus] [Chester:] In these promises broken Deep below Each word gets lost in the echo So one last lie I can see through This time I finally let you Go, go, go. (Go, go, go) Go. go, go. (Go, go, go) https://youtube/watch?v=co4YpHTqmfQ
