“There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. The word “perfect” is not speaking of sinlessness, for the Bible says “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. It is referring to perfect in his desire to do what is right in God’s sight, adding he “feared God and eschewed evil.” Do you fear Him? To “eschew” means to turn away from, in this case, that which is evil. It is true that when one plays with fire they sooner or later get burned; with bees – stung; with snakes – bit. YOU are no exception.
DAILY DROP OF WATER
The Book of Esther reveals how the Lord uses the pride of a King, to bring about the establishment of a Queen (Esther) to saved His people Israel from destruction! (Pro_21:1 The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.” No one, not even you or I, can stand against the Lord! Submit to Him in everything, Remember, there are no exceptions to God’s rules!

THIRSTING SOULS BIBLE SERMONS: “God’s Word is True” Psalm Chapter 51
When God said something, He did exactly what He said he would do.
DAILY DROP OF WATER
Often, as the saved of God living among the lost in the US, we think of corruption of our country as “their sin”. When it comes to nations, such thinking is foreign to Scripture. You see, a Citizen of this nation is a part of that nation whether lost or saved. Nehemiah, upon receiving dire news of Jerusalem’s physical condition, prayed, (Neh 1:7) “WE have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.” His fellow citizen’s sins were Nehemiah’s sins. Our prayers for our country should say, “WE have sinned.”
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Ezr 1:1) “Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, (2) Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.” The Lord moved in the heart of a true heathen king bringing about a fulfillment of what He had said 70 years earlier. You and I so often do not really have faith that the Lord can and will do what to us is the impossible! Don’t doubt Him. He is STILL God!
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(2Ch 1:1) “And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.” It was the Lord Who gave this man wisdom and the honor of others. It was the Lord that gave Him respect and peace all around. Yet, he was influenced through unbelievers to turn from God. Take warning from the ever true Word of God, (1Co_10:12) “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” Become the Lord’s child through the rebirth, hold His hand and never let go. Never let ANYONE influence you away from obeying and thus walking with your Father.
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(1Ch 1:19) “And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother’s name was Joktan…” In verse 10 of this genealogy, this world was divided by the confusion of speech as a result of Nimrod’s influence. This was a judgment of God for the good of mankind. In the text before us we see, after men spread around a joined land mass, the Lord divided them further. This is why although the first people before the flood corrupted each other in some 1500 years, the people this side of the flood have lasted around 5500 years. The barrier of land and the difference in language has been overcome through various inventions of man, bringing man’s rapid corruption. Hold on; get right with God; for the end will be soon of this world as we know it today (Tribulation, 1,000 reign, end of the world).

In the introduction to this song I share the best testimony of one’s mother I have ever heard.
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(2Ki 1:2) “And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease. (3) But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? (4) Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.” By choosing to live his life as he pleased, he robbed himself of the Lord’s help when he needed Him most! Friend, our Lord is not a genie at your command, ready to run when you decide you need Him. He is the Lord. When you are right with God, He hears your prayers.
