Thought for the Day: “From the Lord … “

Posted on December 5, 2007. Filed under: Daily Devotional Readings, Job, Thought for the Day |

From the Lord, we receive forgiveness and victory. Let’s give all the glory to Him!

——————–

This thought is taken from

Eliphaz sounds so ’spiritual’. He speaks of ‘a word’ being ‘brought’ to him. He speaks of ‘visions in the night’ (4:12-13). Sadly, there is, in Eliphaz, a lot of pride and not much love. There’s no suggestion, from Eliphaz, that Satan might be behind Job’s suffering. ‘It’s all your own fault’ – This is what Eliphaz is saying to Job. When we listen to this kind of talk, we become despondent – ‘What have I done to deserve this?’. There are times when we cause problems for ourselves. There are other times when we must say, ‘This is the work of Satan’ – ‘An enemy has done this’ (Matthew 13:28). There are times when we must pray, ‘Forgive us our sins’. There are times when we must pray, ‘Deliver us from the evil one’. From the Lord, we receive forgiveness and victory. Let’s give all the ‘glory’ to Him (Matthew 6:12-13).
