Are You The Kind Of Friend That Job Had?

Are You The Kind Of Friend That Job Had?

 Are you the kind of friend that Job had, when they couldn't understand;
Why such heartache and sickness fell his way; one unexpected day?
Are you the one to judge when you do not know the half of it, nor will;
While upon the one you have cast your judgment, is not mentioned when you pray?

So easy it is to think you know them ole so well;
As you wait nearby in hopes that they will utterly fail.
"Let's write a little poem and say a word or two;" You say.
Cause you do not believe them when they say,  "I'm not feeling well. "

Be very careful, you may not know, as much as you think you do;
Before you throw your darts of knowledge, with a heart of doubt, contempt.
When the one you judge may be learning something just before you do;
So they will have compassion when it's your turn to learn it too.

See, those little insinuations, those little hurtful taunts, could be;
Just what satan needs to cause someone already hurt more grief.
Without love you are nothing and your voice will not be heard;
Because you are just a noise without love, but so full of words.

 1 Corinthians 13:1 
Though I speak with the tongues of men
and of angels, and have not charity, I am 
become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Job is pronounced Jobe
in the Bible


Job was sick and lost his family but never cursed God.
His friends felt he must had done something
wrong to be going through his suffering and great loss.
His friends added to his grief by casting judgement.

Draw Nigh To God

Draw Nigh To God

It must be very soon, we will see Jesus in the sky:

The trumpet must be warming up, to call us home.

The world is growing darker and sin just seems to prosper;

Many Christians  have wandered way on their own.

Confusion, disquiet, illusion and persecution;

Dangers to the Christian, in this spiritual fight.

The double minded are blown two and fro in this dark world;

That's what happens when you wander from the light.

( Chorus)

Draw nigh to God, believe, believe, all things are possible.

All things are possible to those who believe.

Praise His name, His holy name, don't let anger fret your heart;

Jesus is our lighthouse in the dark night of the sea.

-------------

Let not your heart be troubled, discouraged, dismayed;

When Jesus speaks or whispers peace, the storms obey.

Draw nigh to God, believe, believe, all thing are possible;

Oh, let your faith, chase ev'ry fear and doubt away.

Not tossed by the howling storms, that tempt the peaceful sea;

Let our hearts be assured and at peace like a dove.

Like a ship in the midnight, seeking guidance from above.

Let us look to the compass of God's  written love.

( Chorus)

Draw nigh to God, believe, believe, all things are possible.

All things are possible to those who believe.

Praise His name, His holy name, don't let anger fret your heart;

Jesus is our lighthouse in the dark night of the sea.

 James 4:8 
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

 Hebrews 10:22 
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

I Trust You Through Life’s Alarms

I Trust You Through Life’s Alarms

By: Susan Y Nikitenko   2010

Though a blinding fog blocks my full sight,

Though I can not understand His way,

I will not fear the hole in the ground;

Or troubles or worrisome sound.

I will trust the all seeing eyes of God;

Who leads blinded men through darkest night,

And when I fear to take in faith, the step.

His leading grace, by faith, will be my light.

His lamp is daily there before me;

To lead through this place of darkness, dim,

And when mangled pain of life presses me;

I will follow His light and trust in Him.

Though death brings sorrow, I can’t see past.

I’m injured and blinded by thick fog.

I will jump into His arms of love;

And seek His tender comforting dove.

If tempted with bitterness to lie;

I choose, to feel through darkness alone.

What a comfortless, existence, I fear;

Would steal all joy, year, year after year.

For to choose a life of freedom and joy;

One must choose the road of trust and faith;

And when your path meets your darkest hour;

Upon His bosom find needed power.

I can not walk this path alone, Oh God;

Lest I trip, or blow through painful winds.

Upon your grace, I lay my life;

Oh Father, upon you I will depend.

Carry me through the dark paths of life.

Hold tight my trembling fainting heart.

Lest anytime in fear I turn in doubt;

And from your help I choose to depart.

But No, But No, I run to you, Oh God.

I cuddle safely into your arms.

As a child, gazing into your loving eyes;

 Hand to cheek, say, “I trust you through life’s alarms.”
