Then Job answered: How long will you torment me and crush me with words?
You have humiliated me ten times now, and you mistreat me without shame.
Even if it is true that I have sinned, my mistake concerns only me.
If you really want to appear superior to me and would use my disgrace as evidence against me, then understand that it is God who has wronged me and caught me in His net.
I cry out: “Violence!” but get no response; I call for help, but there is no justice.
He has blocked my way so that I cannot pass through; He has veiled my paths with darkness.
He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.
He tears me down on every side so that I am ruined.
He uproots my hope like a tree.
His anger burns against me, and He regards me as one of His enemies.
His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and camp around my tent.
He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me.
My relatives stop coming by, and my close friends have forgotten me.
My house guests and female servants regard me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight.
I call for my servant, but he does not answer, even if I beg him with my own mouth.
My breath is offensive to my wife, and my own family finds me repulsive.
Even young boys scorn me.
When I stand up, they mock me.
All of my best friends despise me, and those I love have turned against me.
My skin and my flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
Have mercy on me, my friends, have mercy, for God’s hand has struck me.
Why do you persecute me as God does?
Will you never get enough of my flesh?
I wish that my words were written down, that they were recorded on a scroll or were inscribed in stone forever by an iron stylus and lead!

But I know my living Redeemer, and He will stand on the dust at last.

Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet I will see God in my flesh.
I will see Him myself; my eyes will look at Him, and not as a stranger.
My heart longs within me.
If you say, “How will we pursue him, since the root of the problem lies with him?” then be afraid of the sword, because wrath brings punishment by the sword, so that you may know there is a judgment.
Job 19:1-29 HCSB

Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said: Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son so that the Son may glorify You, for You gave Him authority over all flesh; so He may give eternal life to all You have given Him.
This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and the One You have sent — Jesus Christ.

I have glorified You on the earth by completing the work You gave Me to do.
Now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with that glory I had with You before the world existed.
I have revealed Your name to the men You gave Me from the world.
They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
Now they know that all things You have given to Me are from You, because the words that You gave Me, I have given them.
They have received them and have known for certain that I came from You.
They have believed that You sent Me.
I pray for them.
I am not praying for the world but for those You have given Me, because they are Yours.
Everything I have is Yours, and everything You have is Mine, and I have been glorified in them.
I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You.
Holy Father, protect them by Your name that You have given Me, so that they may be one as We are one.
While I was with them, I was protecting them by Your name that You have given Me.
I guarded them and not one of them is lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled.
Now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have My joy completed in them.
I have given them Your word.
The world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
I am not praying that You take them out of the world but that You protect them from the evil one.
They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.
As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
I sanctify Myself for them, so they also may be sanctified by the truth.
I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in Me through their message.
May they all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I am in You.
May they also be one in Us, so the world may believe You sent Me.
I have given them the glory You have given Me. May they be one as We are one.
I am in them and You are in Me.
May they be made completely one, so the world may know You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me.
Father, I desire those You have given Me to be with Me where I am.
Then they will see My glory, which You have given Me because You loved Me before the world’s foundation.
Righteous Father!
The world has not known You.
However, I have known You, and these have known that You sent Me.
I made Your name known to them and will make it known, so the love You have loved Me with may be in them and I may be in them.
John 17:1-26 HCSB

My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, listening closely to wisdom and directing your heart to understanding; furthermore, if you call out to insight and lift your voice to understanding, l if you seek it like silver and search for it like hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and discover the knowledge of God.

For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

He stores up success for the upright; He is a shield for those who live with integrity so that He may guard the paths of justice and protect the way of His loyal followers.
Then you will understand righteousness, justice, and integrity — every good path.
For wisdom will enter your mind, and knowledge will delight your heart.
Discretion will watch over you, and understanding will guard you, rescuing you from the way of evil — from the one who says perverse things, from those who abandon the right paths to walk in ways of darkness, from those who enjoy doing evil and celebrate perversion, whose paths are crooked, and whose ways are devious.
It will rescue you from a forbidden woman, from a stranger with her flattering talk, who abandons the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God; for her house sinks down to death and her ways to the land of the departed spirits.
None return who go to her; none reach the paths of life.
So follow the way of good people, and keep to the paths of the righteous.
For the upright will inhabit the land, and those of integrity will remain in it; but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous uprooted from it.
Proverbs 2:1-22 HCSB

After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee, since He did not want to travel in Judea because the Jews were trying to kill Him.
The Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near, so His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea so Your disciples can see Your works that You are doing.
For no one does anything in secret while he’s seeking public recognition. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”
(For not even His brothers believed in Him.)
Jesus told them, “My time has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand.
The world cannot hate you, but it does hate Me because I testify about it — that its deeds are evil.
Go up to the festival yourselves. I’m not going up to the festival yet, because My time has not yet fully come.”
After He had said these things, He stayed in Galilee.
After His brothers had gone up to the festival, then He also went up, not openly but secretly.
The Jews were looking for Him at the festival and saying, “Where is He? ”
And there was a lot of discussion about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He’s a good man.” Others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He’s deceiving the people.”
Still, nobody was talking publicly about Him because they feared the Jews.
When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple complex and began to teach.
Then the Jews were amazed and said, “How does He know the Scriptures, since He hasn’t been trained? ”
Jesus answered them, “My teaching isn’t Mine but is from the One who sent Me.
If anyone wants to do His will, he will understand whether the teaching is from God or if I am speaking on My own.
The one who speaks for himself seeks his own glory.
But He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
Didn’t Moses give you the law?
Yet none of you keeps the law!
Why do you want to kill Me? ”
“You have a demon! ” the crowd responded. “Who wants to kill You? ”
“I did one work, and you are all amazed,” Jesus answered.
“Consider this: Moses has given you circumcision — not that it comes from Moses but from the fathers — and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses won’t be broken, are you angry at Me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath?
Stop judging according to outward appearances; rather judge according to righteous judgment.”
Some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Isn’t this the man they want to kill?
Yet, look! He’s speaking publicly and they’re saying nothing to Him.
Can it be true that the authorities know He is the Messiah?
But we know where this man is from.
When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where He is from.”
As He was teaching in the temple complex, Jesus cried out, “You know Me and you know where I am from.
Yet I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me is true.
You don’t know Him; I know Him because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
Then they tried to seize Him.
Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.
However, many from the crowd believed in Him and said, “When the Messiah comes, He won’t perform more signs than this man has done, will He?”
The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple police to arrest Him.
Then Jesus said, “I am only with you for a short time.
Then I’m going to the One who sent Me.
You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
Then the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go so we won’t find Him?
He doesn’t intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does He?
What is this remark He made: ‘You will look for Me, and you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”
On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, he should come to Me and drink!

The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.”

He said this about the Spirit.
Those who believed in Jesus were going to receive the Spirit, for the Spirit had not yet been received because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
When some from the crowd heard these words, they said, “This really is the Prophet! ”
Others said, “This is the Messiah! ”
But some said, “Surely the Messiah doesn’t come from Galilee, does He?
Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Messiah comes from David’s offspring and from the town of Bethlehem, where David once lived?”
So a division occurred among the crowd because of Him.
Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
Then the temple police came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why haven’t you brought Him?”
The police answered, “No man ever spoke like this! ”
Then the Pharisees responded to them: “Are you fooled too?
Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?
But this crowd, which doesn’t know the law, is accursed! ”
Nicodemus — the one who came to Him previously, being one of them — said to them, “Our law doesn’t judge a man before it hears from him and knows what he’s doing, does it?”
“You aren’t from Galilee too, are you?” they replied.
“Investigate and you will see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”
So each one went to his house.

I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and because of His appearing and His kingdom: Proclaim the message; persist in it whether convenient or not; rebuke, correct, and encourage with great patience and teaching.

For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new.
They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths.

But as for you, be serious about everything, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time for my departure is close.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
There is reserved for me in the future the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me, but to all those who have loved His appearing.
Make every effort to come to me soon, for Demas has deserted me, because he loved this present world, and has gone to Thessalonica.
Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
Only Luke is with me.
Bring Mark with you, for he is useful to me in the ministry.
I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
When you come, bring the cloak I left in Troas with Carpus, as well as the scrolls, especially the parchments.
Alexander the coppersmith did great harm to me.
The Lord will repay him according to his works.
Watch out for him yourself because he strongly opposed our words.
At my first defense, no one stood by me, but everyone deserted me.
May it not be counted against them.
But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the proclamation might be fully made through me and all the Gentiles might hear.
So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth.
The Lord will rescue me from every evil work and will bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom.
To Him be the glory forever and ever!
Amen.
Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
Erastus has remained at Corinth; I left Trophimus sick at Miletus.
Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
The Lord be with your spirit.
Grace be with you.

On a Sabbath, He passed through the grainfields.
His disciples were picking heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”
Jesus answered them, “Haven’t you read what David and those who were with him did when he was hungry — how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the sacred bread, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?
He even gave some to those who were with him.”
Then He told them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
On another Sabbath He entered the synagogue and was teaching.
A man was there whose right hand was paralyzed.
The scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely, to see if He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a charge against Him.
But He knew their thoughts and told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Get up and stand here.”
So he got up and stood there.
Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do what is good or to do what is evil, to save life or to destroy it?”
After looking around at them all, He told him, “Stretch out your hand.”
He did so, and his hand was restored.
They, however, were filled with rage and started discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.
During those days He went out to the mountain to pray and spent all night in prayer to God.
When daylight came, He summoned His disciples, and He chose 12 of them — He also named them apostles: Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot; Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
After coming down with them, He stood on a level place with a large crowd of His disciples and a great number of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.
They came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those tormented by unclean spirits were made well.
The whole crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming out from Him and healing them all.
Then looking up at His disciples, He said: You who are poor are blessed, because the kingdom of God is yours.
You who are now hungry are blessed, because you will be filled. You who now weep are blessed, because you will laugh.
You are blessed when people hate you, when they exclude you, insult you, and slander your name as evil because of the Son of Man.
“Rejoice in that day and leap for joy!
Take note — your reward is great in heaven, for this is the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.
But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your comfort.
Woe to you who are now full, for you will be hungry.
Woe to you who are now laughing, for you will mourn and weep.
Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for this is the way their ancestors used to treat the false prophets.
“But I say to you who listen: Love your enemies, do what is good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
If anyone hits you on the cheek, offer the other also.
And if anyone takes away your coat, don’t hold back your shirt either.
Give to everyone who asks you, and from one who takes your things, don’t ask for them back.

Just as you want others to do for you, do the same for them.

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?
Even sinners love those who love them.
If you do what is good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you?
Even sinners do that.
And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to be repaid in full.
But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return.
Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High.
For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil.
Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged.
Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.
Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure — pressed down, shaken together, and running over — will be poured into your lap.
For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
He also told them a parable: “Can the blind guide the blind?
Won’t they both fall into a pit?
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
“Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but don’t notice the log in your own eye?
Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the log in your eye?
Hypocrite!
First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck in your brother’s eye.
“A good tree doesn’t produce bad fruit; on the other hand, a bad tree doesn’t produce good fruit.
For each tree is known by its own fruit.
Figs aren’t gathered from thornbushes, or grapes picked from a bramble bush.
A good man produces good out of the good storeroom of his heart.
An evil man produces evil out of the evil storeroom, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.
“Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things I say?
I will show you what someone is like who comes to Me, hears My words, and acts on them: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock.
When the flood came, the river crashed against that house and couldn’t shake it, because it was well built.
But the one who hears and does not act is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation.
The river crashed against it, and immediately it collapsed.
And the destruction of that house was great!”
Luke 6:1-49 HCSB

A Reading for Worship and our Message Today June 7th...

Children, obey your parents as you would the Lord, because this is right.
Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, so that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life in the land.
Fathers, don’t stir up anger in your children, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ.
Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but as slaves of Christ, do God’s will from your heart.
Serve with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that whatever good each one does, slave or free, he will receive this back from the Lord.
And masters, treat your slaves the same way, without threatening them, because you know that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him.
Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength.
Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the Devil.

For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.

This is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand.
Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace.
In every situation take the shield of faith, and with it you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God’s word.
Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert in this with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.
Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.
For this I am an ambassador in chains.
Pray that I might be bold enough in Him to speak as I should.
Tychicus, our dearly loved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me so that you may be informed.
I am sending him to you for this very reason, to let you know how we are and to encourage your hearts.
Peace to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace be with all who have undying love for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 6:1-24 HCSB

A Reading to Bless and Edify God's children this Sabbath Day June 6th...

Who has believed what we have heard?
And who has the arm of the Lord been revealed to?
He grew up before Him like a young plant and like a root out of dry ground.
He didn’t have an impressive form or majesty that we should look at Him, no appearance that we should desire Him.
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.
He was like someone people turned away from; He was despised, and we didn’t value Him.

Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses, and He carried our pains; but we in turn regarded Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.

But He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on Him, and we are healed by His wounds.
We all went astray like sheep; we all have turned to our own way; and the Lord has punished Him for the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth.
Like a lamb led to the slaughter and like a sheep silent before her shearers, He did not open His mouth.
He was taken away because of oppression and judgment; and who considered His fate?
For He was cut off from the land of the living; He was struck because of my people’s rebellion.
They made His grave with the wicked and with a rich man at His death, although He had done no violence and had not spoken deceitfully.
Yet the Lord was pleased to crush Him severely.
When You make Him a restitution offering, He will see His seed, He will prolong His days, and by His hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.
He will see it out of His anguish, and He will be satisfied with His knowledge.
My righteous Servant will justify many, and He will carry their iniquities.
Therefore I will give Him the many as a portion, and He will receive the mighty as spoil, because He submitted Himself to death, and was counted among the rebels; yet He bore the sin of many and interceded for the rebels.
Isaiah 53:1-12 HCSB

A Reading to Bless and Edify God's children June 5th...

Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us.

Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that lay before Him endured a cross and despised the shame and has sat down at the right hand of God’s throne.
For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you won’t grow weary and lose heart.
In struggling against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly or faint when you are reproved by Him, for the Lord disciplines the one He loves and punishes every son He receives.
Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons.
For what son is there that a father does not discipline?
But if you are without discipline — which all receive — then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
Furthermore, we had natural fathers discipline us, and we respected them.
Shouldn’t we submit even more to the Father of spirits and live?
For they disciplined us for a short time based on what seemed good to them, but He does it for our benefit, so that we can share His holiness.
No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful.
Later on, however, it yields the fruit of peace and righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Therefore strengthen your tired hands and weakened knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed instead.
Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness — without it no one will see the Lord.
Make sure that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no root of bitterness springs up, causing trouble and by it, defiling many.
And make sure that there isn’t any immoral or irreverent person like Esau, who sold his birthright in exchange for one meal.
For you know that later, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected because he didn’t find any opportunity for repentance, though he sought it with tears.
For you have not come to what could be touched, to a blazing fire, to darkness, gloom, and storm, to the blast of a trumpet, and the sound of words.
(Those who heard it begged that not another word be spoken to them, for they could not bear what was commanded: And if even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned!
The appearance was so terrifying that Moses said, I am terrified and trembling.)
Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God (the heavenly Jerusalem), to myriads of angels in festive gathering, to the assembly of the firstborn whose names have been written in heaven, to God who is the Judge of all, to the spirits of righteous people made perfect, to Jesus (mediator of a new covenant), and to the sprinkled blood, which says better things than the blood of Abel.
Make sure that you do not reject the One who speaks.
For if they did not escape when they rejected Him who warned them on earth, even less will we if we turn away from Him who warns us from heaven.
His voice shook the earth at that time, but now He has promised, Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven.
This expression, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of what can be shaken — that is, created things — so that what is not shaken might remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us hold on to grace.
By it, we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.
