In Job 8 Bildad, the next youngest in age, of Job's friends speaks. He together with Eliphaz contends that Job suffers because he has sinned. What is needed from Job is repentance. God will not allow you to suffer if you are upright. The fact that your suffering persists is proof of your guilt. Don't question the Almighty about your suffering - our experience is too limited to rightly judge - just acknowledge your guilt. He, like Eliphaz, musters his arguments from his understanding of nature. Job you must relent, change your way, confess to God and you will be restored.In Micah 3 the rulers and prophets are denounced for their corruption, contempt for God's people, callousness to the poor and total self-interest. Yahweh's face would be hidden from these godless religious leaders. These leaders prophesied of a peace that was not possible given the deplorable state they had brought upon their nation. The consequence of the nation's refusal to receive the Word of God would, verse 6, be a withdrawal of the inspired prophetic guidance - "the sun would go down over the prophets". We notice the parallels of Hebrew poetry - the expression is repeated to be reinforced in different words to say the same thing, "I am filled with power, with the spirit of Yahweh and with justice and might" (v 6 ESV). In this verse, the spirit of Yahweh is power, and is also the same as might. I This occurred from about BC 444 until the ministry of John the Baptist around 21 AD. There would be for them (verse 7) "no answer from God". By way of contrast to this the prophet Micah was "the inspired Word of Yahweh" to the kingdom of Judah (verse 8). And Micah would forthrightly denounce their transgressions, in order that God may save a remnant of them. The prophet's message was that their violence had filled up the cup of LORD's patience. God's exhausted patience the reason "Zion would be ploughed as a field" (verse 15). This message shook king Hezekiah to the core (see Jeremiah 26verses18-19). The prophecy was fulfilled by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 135 AD. Chapter 4 says that, nonetheless, Zion (meaning "conspicuous"), Jerusalem's aspirational future glorious state would be realised at Christ's coming kingdom. Read verses 1-5 aloud, and pause and ponder - compare with Isaiah 2verses1-4. Verses 6-13 tell us that at that future time Yahweh will restore Zion (Jerusalem). The prophet calls the nation Jacob, after the father of the nation. Micah shows us that Jacob's personal life finds echoes in the nation's history - "her that halters" loops back to when Jacob's thigh was dislocated to teach him dependence on his God (Genesis 32). Likewise, the Almighty's affliction of the nation was designed to bring her finally in faith to her Maker. And through restored Zion Yahweh will bring all nations of the earth into subjection to Zion's glorious king.

Faith in Action: Living Out Love – Hebrews 13:1–6In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane begin their study of Hebrews 13 by exploring what everyday faith looks like in action. These verses call believers to live out love through hospitality, compassion, purity, and contentment. Jamie and Jane unpack how genuine faith is revealed not just in what we believe but in how we treat others and trust God to provide. This conversation is a practical and heartfelt reminder that love, generosity, and faithfulness are the marks of a life anchored in Christ.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Jesus Our Leader — Hebrews 13:7-25 1. Considering Jesus 2. Copying Jesus 3. Coming to Jesus
Evangelical Free Church of Canton
The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. - Jesus (Matthew 6:22) Faith is the habit of seeing what God sees, but most of us suffer from vision deficiency. In the final chapters of the book of Hebrews, the author urges believers to fix our eyes on Jesus. By seeing Jesus for who he really is - the image of perfection and the pioneer of our faith - we will be able to see ourselves for who we are: imperfect sinners saved by grace through faith. Join us at The Story, Sundays in November, as we fix our eyes to see God's vision for our lives!

The book of Hebrews concludes today with a laundry list of encouragements to pursue one another in brotherly love. As the writer lists out the manner in which members of the church should relate to one another, he cites biblical and theological reasons why each should be practiced in the manner he describes. As you listen, consider the self-sacrificing nature of each action, for the nature of Christ's love for the church was self-sacrificial, and in order to be Christlike, we too, must follow the path selflessness. There are also commendations to rest in the truth and suffer for the sake of righteousness, enduring what is temporary in order to gain that which is eternal. The author then concludes with final remarks and a benediction. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comHebrews 13The Hebrew letter concludes with practical instructions for Christian living. Disciples are urged to care for one another, extend hospitality to strangers, and remember those who suffer, including those in prison or facing mistreatment. The sanctity of marriage must be honored, and hearts should be free from the love of money, trusting in God's unwavering presence and provision. They are reminded to respect and learn from their spiritual leaders, recognizing that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Strange teachings should be avoided, and attention must remain on grace. Jesus cleansed them by His blood, and believers are called to praise God, do good, and share with others in Jesus' name. The message concludes with a prayer for peace and a call to live under God's grace. We are called to demonstrate our faith with love, consistency, and gratitude. We care for one another, greet others with kindness, and remember those who are suffering. We honor marriage, hold lightly to material things, trusting that God will always be with us. We look to our spiritual leaders as examples and follow their guidance as they direct us to Christ. Jesus never changes, and His faithfulness provides us stability in a shifting world. We remain grounded in grace, not in unbiblical teaching. We offer praise, do good, and share with others, as this pleases God. We strive to live with integrity, pray for one another, and carry the peace and strength that come through Jesus Christ into everything we do. Glorious Lord, we lift our hearts to You, our God and Father, the source of all wisdom and grace. Thank You for sending Jesus, our Savior and Shepherd, who is unchanging and remains faithful. Help us live with love, compassion, and integrity. Teach us to honor what is holy, serve others generously, and stay free from fear and greed. May we follow the example of Jesus and listen to the leaders You have placed over us. Strengthen us through Your Spirit, and help us live in a way that pleases You. May our lives always feature the grace of Christ. Thought Questions: What is the connection between hospitality to strangers, remembering prisoners, honoring marriage, and being free from love of money? How are you encouraged knowing “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”? What does His presence mean to you? If you love and praise Jesus as the Good Shepherd, why must you also obey, support, and pray for local church shepherds?
