ECCLESIASTES 3:18 – I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts.” God does many works in the lives of His children.

Romans 11:33 – Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

GALATIANS 5:22-23 – But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Remember what our Lord Jesus said about fruit? In Luke’s gospel, we read His words – “For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, for each tree is…
JOB 19:25 – For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.” This nugget is very dark. Dark in the sense the person stating today’s scripture, Job, is in a very dark place. Let me encourage you to do one thing. Right now, read all of Job 19. It is only 29 verses. When…
