Hi Peeps,
Today’s Quote
“New things will happen with God’s invitation and blessings, because of your obedience to copy and innovate better solutions for the future with grace, mercy, and precision.” ~ Jon Barnes
Outreach
Your organized strategies, plans, and path will be sound, wise and complete no matter where you go around the globe with God’s message of love and faith. People will look up to you and copy your good works of faith, because of your inspiration, discipline, and love. They will not copy your hypocrisy, but they will mock you and your stupidity.
Preparation
Each day, read, study, meditate, pray, and follow the new information God gives you so that you are prepared to give as you receive and share with others. Organize your time and movements to make things more efficient. People will ask questions and receive what you have to give, in love, patience, meekness, kindness, long-suffering, and joy.
Participation
Your daily participation with The Fruit of The Spirit will help you to grow in grace, kindness, and effectiveness so that your family prospers from the innovation and invitation of God’s perspective. Take this talent, mindset, heart, dedication, and work of faith where ever you go and God will be at your side all of the time to help you.
Today’s Question
Are you ignoring God’s daily invitations and innovations in your works of faith, based on your laziness, inaction, and old-fashioned methods?
Job 35
Elihu Reminds Job of God’s Justice
35 Then Elihu said:
2 “Do you think it is right for you to claim,
‘I am righteous before God’?
3 For you also ask, ‘What’s in it for me?
What’s the use of living a righteous life?’
‘I am righteous before God’?
3 For you also ask, ‘What’s in it for me?
What’s the use of living a righteous life?’
4 “I will answer you
and all your friends, too.
5 Look up into the sky,
and see the clouds high above you.
6 If you sin, how does that affect God?
Even if you sin again and again,
what effect will it have on him?
7 If you are good, is this some great gift to him?
What could you possibly give him?
8 No, your sins affect only people like yourself,
and your good deeds also affect only humans.
and all your friends, too.

9 “People cry out when they are oppressed.
They groan beneath the power of the mighty.
10 Yet they don’t ask, ‘Where is God my Creator,
the one who gives songs in the night?
11 Where is the one who makes us smarter than the animals
and wiser than the birds of the sky?’
12 And when they cry out, God does not answer
because of their pride.
13 But it is wrong to say God doesn’t listen,
to say the Almighty isn’t concerned.
14 You say you can’t see him,
but he will bring justice if you will only wait.[a]
15 You say he does not respond to sinners with anger
and is not greatly concerned about wickedness.[b]
16 But you are talking nonsense, Job.
You have spoken like a fool.”
