- So . . . I'm "feeding myself" in the morning from God's Word and thought I'd post what I'm chewin' on and make my "food" available for others who might want to nibble a bit. Hope it's of some benefit to you . . .
The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

The Faultfinder (2016 Remix)
It’s a line that I don’t ever want to look back over my shoulder and see that I’ve crossed. The “fault” line. The line of finding fault with my God and Father. The line of reproving the One who is … Continue reading
Keep Listening
Dear Advice Columnist, Elihu: I have a problem. Actually, I have a lot of problems. Actually actually, I have a lot of REALLY big problems. I have lost my wealth, I have lost all my children and their families, I … Continue reading
Take Care, Remember, and Behold
In order to try and track with Elihu’s counsel to Job, I’m reading ahead in my Job reading plan, taking in bigger chunks so as to try and grasp the big ideas. This morning, there’s a quotable quote that I … Continue reading
Another Approach
Job, and his friends were both pretty clear on “what” had happened. Where they differed was on the “why.” For Job’s friends it was pretty clear, “You’re suffering because something’s wrong with you — you must have sinned some pretty … Continue reading
Kind of Gospel-Like
Trying to hear what the kid has to say this morning. Elihu has listened long enough to the back-and-forth of the grey-heads, now it’s his turn. Job has already had his “drop the mic” moment (Job 31:40), and now the … Continue reading
Time to Speak Up
Up to this point, he was content to observe the back and forth between Job and his so-called “friends.” For 28 chapters he’s eavesdropped on their debate. After all, he’s just the kid in the crowd, thus considering it all … Continue reading
The Bow Undone
Read Job 29 and 30 together and it’s a dickens of a contrast — the best of times and the worst of times. Chapter 29 is Job at his best, a force to be reckoned with. In his prime (29:4), … Continue reading

Be Careful. Remember.
Every year there comes a point as I read in the latter chapters of Job where I ask myself, “Self, what do you make of Elihu?” You know, Elihu, the fourth man in the fray. Not one of the three … Continue reading

Someone to Hear My Case
Job and his buddies were in agreement about some stuff. As I read Job 31 this morning, out of the gate Job makes a couple of statements that I think his debating cohort would have said, “Yes and Amen!” to. … Continue reading
Job Asks. Jesus Answers.
A big part of Job’s problem, and a big contributor to his struggle with God, was that Job didn’t really get the big picture. I know, kind of an understatement, huh? From reading the beginning of the book, we know … Continue reading
