Job 24: 1 “Wisdom from Above”

GuidetohisWord

“Why does the Almighty not set times for judgment?
    Why must those who know him look in vain for such days? (v.1)

Carnal wisdom would assert thus: Justice delayed is justice denied.” It is what man has cobbled up in order to assure his tenuous hold on property and wealth. His sense of justice is outraged so he has recourse to court of law. So the man sues his neighbor and fights him till it is restored to him. No one shall consider he was wrong to fight for his rights. This is wisdom which however does not go hand in hand with the wisdom from above.

The word of God is clear. “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.(1 Ti.6:7). Pierre-Joseph Prudhon would go as far as to say,’property is theft'(1840). It is anarchy , the worldly would exclaim, where…

In the Book of Psalms we have a list of qualities that gives a clue to their sustaining power. It is certainly not from God the Father of lights. Their haughtiness is epitomized by the beast of the latter days.”and the dragon gave him his…

Job 23:10-14 “Unity of the Spirit”

GuidetohisWord

“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold./ My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined./ Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

“But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth./ For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me:”

Earlier Job asked,”Shall any teach God knowledge?”(21:22a) Job confesses whatever he knows has its source in Him. When he says “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth (19:25)” it is precognition and outside the realm of human intellect. It is faith.
