Job 1-2: 1 Corinthians 1

Good Morning Trth Seekers! Job 1-2 tells in many ways what God thinks of Job. Job is seen in the eyes of God as a righteous man. It brings me to believe that often we think that when things happen to us it is because God has forgotten us, but through Job's story we can believe that our testing is a testimony of what God believes we can handle and who we are. Job's strength was not his wealth, but it was his belief and devotion to God. It is said many times that trials will reveal who you are. Well we will soon see who Job was.

1 Corinthians 1 is one of my favorite readings, I particularly like the part that says, God's foolishness is wiser than man's wisdom and his weakness is stronger than man's strength. Paul begins this Chapter with encouragement for the brothers to united under the Lordship of Jesus. He reminds them that Jesus is the center of any boasting. He says to them in so many words that we owe it to God who sent Jesus for all that we have become. Especially, since most of them were nothing before Christ enlisted them to His service. Therefore, if any one wanted to boast then boast on Jesus. I realize each day that it is because of my weaknesses that Christ uses me. It is so that his strength can be magnified in who I am not, and his glory realized in who I become.
