koinohnia:

“Oh, there is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t understand it now. When the Holy Spirit, who is truth, comes, he shall guide you into all truth, for he will not be presenting his own ideas, but will be passing on to you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. He shall praise me and bring me great honor by showing you my glory. All the Father’s glory is mine; this is what I mean when I say that he will show you my glory.

Jesus, John 16

koinohnia:

Dear sis, don’t get caught up in trying hard to look attractive because everything in that arena is temporary. Attractive in the kingdom is a woman of God who is in love with Jesus, the imperishable beauty of a quiet (meek/not silent) and gentle spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

koinohnia:

Living for the kingdom and righteousness of God takes away neediness. Takes away those things we call needs that just might be wants, because if you don’t have fulfillment in Jesus, something else is trying to fulfill that. And you’ll always think you need something to be better when you have everything in Him. He’s our Shepherd, we shall not want.

“He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty" Job 6:14

When Job lament of his birth and sufferings Eliphaz responded with words of theology, a seemingly sound doctrine and subtle assumption that Job had sinned and need of repentance.

Eliphaz words seemed so sound but as I kept reading the chapters all over again. What Eliphaz was saying wasn’t sitting right in my heart. There is something off.

I later realise as I continue reading, Job also refuted what Eliphaz has said. Job was able to defend his grief and complaints and Job ended criticising Eliphaz for what he said. Thats when I realise why the words of Eliphaz earlier was really off. It was because His words weren’t loving nor helpful at all.

Let a grieving man, grieve. Grieve with him. Let a lamenting man, lament. Lament with him.

Let a questioning man, question. Question with him

Let a praying man, pray. Pray with him.

Then wait on the Lord’s response. It may be a rebuke, an encouragement, or a series of rhetorical questions.

Roadtrip.

Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.

Job 41:11
