Job

If you’ve ever read the book of Job you know how much this guy went through.

God allowed tested him to the max! But not to the point of death.

“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)

God gave satan permission to test Job because satan challenged God by saying Job was only faithful because God had blessed him so much. He claimed that if God were to take away his blessings, Job would curse Him.

God gave satan permission.

I don’t know about you but I love the fact that even satan answers to God!!! God is the Almighty and nothing is out of His control. There’s nothing that can ever triumph over Him.

So what have we to fear? Nothing in all creation is greater than its Creator so by putting our trust in Him, are we not safe and secure? Are we not blessed by loving our Father and obeying His commands?

Going back to Job…

God gave satan permission to take away all of Job’s blessings. Family, animals, money, all of it. Job remained faithful. He was “happy” but He didn’t turn away from or curse God. At most, He was angry enough to confront and question God. Even so, he didn’t stop believing and trusting in God. He did wish he’d never been born because it would’ve been better than suffering so greatly. But then Job came to the most important revelation…

“Job wishes for someone who can mediate between himself and God.” (Retrieved from https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/oldtestament/section11/)

THAT’S JESUS!

Jesus came to be exactly that for us, to be our Savior and Mediator. He saved us from death by dying for our sins and then rose to Heaven to sit at the right hand sided of The Father mediating on our behalf. Job spoke of this himself.

“Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high.” (Job 16:19)

“I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.” (Job 19:25)

Even at our worst moments when we’re tested most—which are attacks from the enemy—we need to stand firm and trust God to work it out. He always will and nothing can stop Him from being with us and protecting us.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39)

Nothing can ever stop God, period.

The Start Of Something New About Something Old.

Hey, a few days ago I just got this impulse to start a blog and just to write down my thoughts instead of keeping them locked in my head. I feel like this blog just has to be about one central thing though and that is JESUS. My main man. I don't see any other reason to write. He is why I want to write. Jesus, is just so amazing and this should be spread so far across the internet that everyone should read/hear it. I am currently a senior at the University of Iowa and this semester so far as been filled with so much joy and I really don't know why. This only has to be the joy that I get from Jesus and what He is doing this semester at Iowa. I actually have this joy in my classes that I have never experienced before and the same through the dreadful midterms that every student get. It HAS to be Jesus. It HAS to be Jesus that is working through this campus. The University of Iowa is such a unique place and is real dear to my heart. 

Less than a week ago, I went to see Tenth Avenue North and WOW was God there. God’s presence during that worship still gives me chills to this day. I am so thankful for the gift of music and for Tenth Avenue North or anyone who takes the time to travel all over to spread the Gospel. I don't know if I could do that. You guys, have no idea how much I respect you on what you sacrifice for people you don't even know. For me. Tenth Avenue North, you are probably, no you are, my favorite band out there (even though I don't like picking favorites). God has used you guys to speak truth to people, to me. To bring darkness to light. That is exactly what God did with you guys for me. God, used your music  and many others artists to bring me back into His arms and I am so thankful for that which I don't think you guys from Tenth Avenue North will know. God can really use people to change people.  You guys are so encouraging with your music and it speaks the truth to me every time I listen to it. I once almost cried while listening to “I Need You, I Love You, I Want You”. Seriously! You know, just getting emotional.

Everyday I need Jesus, EVERYDAY! Without Jesus, I really have nothing. This joy that I been having would be gone. The stresses of this world would overcome me and sin would overtake me like it did before. BUT NO! Jesus is here and always has been here. He is our Savior and I mean OUR Savior. Not just mine but everyones’. God sent down His Son, Jesus to take on all of ours sins on the cross and it is finished. We are broken people but through Christ can be redeemed. The deed is already done and all we need to do it accept the unfailing love and grace that God, Our Father has for us. 

Wow, did not expect my first post be so... I don't know. I mean if no one read this, that is totally fine. If you even hate this, that is fine. BUT God is still SO good. God Bless!
