I was given the reading Job 11 this evening. Let's see what Zophar has to say to Job who he thinks has sinned against God. Zophar is telling Job REPENT and this is what will happen.....BUT as we know Job was without sin.
13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
Folks, it's time we do the same. We must prepare our hearts just as verse 13 tells us. We must stretch out our hands toward Father God. Amen?!
Verse 14 says, "if iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away," we need to stop sinning. We must turn back to God. This is what REPENT means. Turn from sin and turn back to God that wickedness does not dwell within us. Amen?!
We have encouraging words in verse (15) If we repent of sin we then can lift our faces up without spot. We shalt not fear. Amen?!
We read even MORE encouraging words in verse (16) We can forget our misery because God has forgiven us. HIS grace shines upon us and we are forgiven. It is remembered no more like water that pass away. Amen?!
Verse (17) We will shine forth and be like the morning. As clear as noonday. Amen?!
We see God's love for us as we read verse (18) We shall be secure, because there is hope; we will take rest in HIS safety. Amen?!
Thank you Father!! HE tells us in verse (19) we will lie down and none shall make us afraid. NONE!! Amen?!
Then we hear truth about those who do not REPENT. The ones who are wicked and full of sin. Verse (20) The eyes of the wicked shall fail, they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost. DEATH!
Folks, please trust in GOD not man. Please seek HIS face today while HE may still be found. TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!!!
I ask you please turn from your sin now. Ask God into your heart right now. Ask Father God to forgive you for your sins against HIM and HIS children. HE is loving. HE is merciful. HE wants you with HIM but HE will not force you.
Come unto HIM all that labor and are heavy ladened, HE will give you rest. Amen?!
In HIM with love,
Cassie
