Job 34-35: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34

Good Morning Truth Seekers! Elihu is having his time to speak. But the truth is that it is the same old song. He is defending God and rebuking Job. He contends that never would God who loves justice punish a righteous man. He is correct! Job is being tested and tempted by Satan to see if Job will turn away from God. That is the test for each of us. Satan wants us to turn back to self reliance, self centered-ness and self worthiness. In James we learn that when we stand the trials we will receive the crown of righteousness. I challenge you today to not to box God in. His ways are not our ways, and when we have reached the end of our imagination God can and will do more than we can imagine and even think about.

1 Corinthians 11:17 is about honoring the Lord in the memorial set aside for believers. Paul taught them to occasionally memorialize the lord death by faith that he will return. Some of them were eating and drinking in a disrespectful way. He warns them that this was not appropriate and that certain behavior is not respectful of God or His church. I am with Paul we should not come to the communion table with common thought, heart and mind. The mode is eating but the heart should be exalting and honoring the gift of Jesus, which was to give his body and shed his blood for our salvation.
