Life is Painful

Job 20:20-29
He has no peace because everybody has declared war on him, including God.
Who rains judgment on him. Arrows [Job 6:4], terrors, darkness, and fire are his lot, and then – the end.

Think 

If you can’t sleep, don’t count sheep – talk to the Shepherd!

Questions in Nahum

3:7
All who see you will flee  from you and say,
 ‘Nineveh  is in ruins —who will mourn for her?’
 Where can I find anyone to comfort  you?”

3:8
Are you better than  Thebes,
 situated on the Nile,
 with water around her?
 The river was her defense,
 the waters her wall.

3:19
Nothing can heal you;
 your wound is fatal.
 All who hear the news about you
 clap their hands  at your fall,
 for who has not felt
 your endless cruelty?

. Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet. -E. M. Bounds

. It is impossible to have the feeling of peace and serenity without being at rest with God. - Dorothy H. Pentecost

. A Christmas candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away;
While quite unselfish, it grows small. - Eva K. Logue
