Day 24

Job 8:1-11:20 KJV NLT
Bildad tried to replies to Job's sorrowful pleas and asks him how much longer will he carry on like this. He wants him to know that if Job is so against the idea that he himself is guilty, then he is therefore suffering as a result of what his children has done. God is a just God and if Job just prays to him and seek favor, He will provide for him. Job replies to that comment saying that he knows what his friend is saying is true but who is he to try and reason with God. Job is but a mere mortal and can not understand at all why God does the things that he does. He just wants to complain freely about not knowing what he has done and why was he born if to just suffer in such a way. Job's other friend Zophar replies to him and says something profound , " Verse 2 Is a person found innocent just by talking a lot? That is all Job has been doing and his friends are convinced that there was something that occurred in Job's life that warranted his punishment. This friend also want him to just get rid of his sins and leave all iniquity behind you (Job
11:14). Once he does that all should be clear in the eyes of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:1-28 KJV NLT
I encourage everyone to read this verse to affirm their Christian beliefs.
3 I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. 4 He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. 5 He was seen by Peter[c] and then by the Twelve. 6 After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers[d] at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. 7 Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw him.

Please read this letter twice to yourselves because the words are so profound.

Psalm 38:1-22 KJV NLT
Passage Psalm 38:1-22:

Psalm 38

1O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

7For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

9Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

12They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

13But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

14Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

16For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

17For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

18For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

19But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

20They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

21Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

22Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

Proverbs 21:28-29 KJV NLT
Passage Proverbs 21:28-29:

28A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.

29A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
