     God never asked Job for permission to take away all that he had, nor did He apologize when it was gone.   When God finally spoke to Job, His words were direct and commanding… “Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou Me” (Job 38:3).     There was not a single word of apology.   Why?   Because God had not wronged Job.   God is never unjust in His dealings.   In fact, Job was blessed beyond measure, but not in the way we would think.   His blessings was not merely in what he had or even what was restored to him, but in what he came to see and understand about God.     Job himself explains it best… “I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth Thee.   Wherefore I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42:5-6).   This is the true blessing - to go from simply hearing about God to truly seeing Him.   To be brought to a place of humilit...

     "The natural man will not bow to a God who is Sovereign. A God who always does what He wants, when He wants, how He wants, where He wants, with whomever He wants, and is always right in everything He does,   is a threat and offense to the man who has set himself up on the Throne of God. Only the Spirit born child of God will bow happily in true worship, seeking mercy from the One who said, “I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy. "   -preacher Greg Elmquist

"I will call upon GOD, and the LORD shall save me."   - Psalm 55:16 [KJV]   I have often been struck with the conduct of blind Bartimeus. When “Many charged him to hold his peace, he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David have mercy upon me ” (Mark 10:48.) Why was this? Truly he had a feeling sense of his loss of sight, and by faith he saw Jesus able to restore it. See the consequence of this importunate cry. Did the sun stand still at the word of Joshua? Behold, at the cry of Bartimeus, the LORD and Creator of all the host of heaven, stood still. Jesus knows the cry of His own Spirit. He will hear it, and help the soul who utters it. “His ears are open to our prayers” (I Peter 3:12.)    Look, (1st.) At David’s circumstances. Was he now on the mount of joy, basking in the sunbeams of comfort? No, he is sighing out a doleful complaint, in the vale of distress. Says he, “I mourn because of the voice of the enemy, and the oppressions of the wicke...

"But God commendeth His love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us ."   - Romans 5:8 [KJV]   It is a very blessed heightening of divine mercies, when we behold them as not only bestowed upon those that deserved them not, but upon those that deserved the reverse of them . It is not enough, in our account of God's love, to say that God was gracious when we had done nothing to merit His favour, but that God was gracious when we had done every thing to merit His displeasure. This is among the sweet features of the Gospel. And the reason is very plain. God Himself is an infinite Being, and therefore His love must be an infinite love. All the properties of it are infinite; it must be exercised to suit an infinite power; it must be such as corresponds to infinite wisdom; and its effects must be such as shall be suited to infinite goodness.   Hence, therefore, in the display of it, such manifestations must be given as shall set forth, that ...

"Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you." -I Peter 1:20 [KJV]   By "these last times" is meant this present dispensation, the dispensation of grace under which we live, and they are called the last times chiefly for two reasons:    1. Because Christ was manifested in the last days of the legal dispensation of the old covenant, which now, as decaying and waxing old, was ready to vanish away (Hebrews 8:13) , which it did when at the destruction of Jerusalem the whole of the temple service, including the sacrifices offered there, was brought to an end.    But, 2. Another reason why the dispensation under which we live is called "the last days" is because it is the final revelation of God. It is "the time accepted , " "the day of salvation , " of which all the prophets have spoken (II Corinthians 6:2; Acts 3:24) .    Christ is now upon His throne of grace; ...
