NIV : JOB 19:25-29

25 I know that my Redeemer [a] lives,
and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. [b]

26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet [c] in [d] my flesh I will see God;

27 I myself will see him
with my own eyes—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!

28 "If you say, 'How we will hound him,
since the root of the trouble lies in him, [e] '

29 you should fear the sword yourselves;
for wrath will bring punishment by the sword,
and then you will know that there is judgment. [f] "



Now see the first two lines, they give me hope. I was given a shock of my life then. It was very sweet.
The next verse was even sweeter and holy, sanctifying me.
The next verse was dinner....Sorry it was the best line i cud use from a movie.. Music and Lyrics...
The last two verses were words to correct...


(the MORE)

well now i use a Theophilos a sofware and NIV here for some help.
now Job as you may know the story is gone down, all lost pretty much like if i say in engineering terms as it is easy for me to bring my life experiences.....

you started a project, got it accepted then you made circuit and got away with all glitches and bugs and finally the last minute before exam your circuit along with all documentation is burned away even before you have any idea what is happening and ....well the case of Job is so much worser, he lost his wealth, his life, his kids, his servants, and all he had.... he wasn't sad...

but now here is a condition when he is hurted more. He as said in the first chapters 1 and 2 we see that even when he is nothing he praises God. Now i paste Job's first prayer...


Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. (KJV)

Now we on the other hand when our pen is lost, or when we misplaced a book curse God sometimes out of the fury. I am not a saint and i have a terrible temper some times,

and once i lost my library book and when i checked the price of it on Amazon it was nearly 40 pounds or so... well i later realised when i got the book back it was less than 10GBP , but due to this fear i didn't realise what i said.

But i guess ...no...i realise Job is one person who we should stay like.
Now the next chapter he is affected with sores.

Now this would make some of us who are weak hearted even take our lives, but job as in ch2:verse.10 still praises God.

But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips (KJV).

The Nativity - by Gari Melchers

This could be my first ever critique of art that I have ever written and that is because it is only recently art has captured my interest as much as this work. This write up is made both in English and German as I want to practice my German.  'The Nativity' by Gari Melchers.  I am not an art expert and my critique is from a layman's point of view, but bear with me. I have tried reading some information about the art and the culture behind it and I have my two favourite blog posts about the same work and yes,  I have shamelessly copied some of their thoughts. Woebegone but Hopeful and other is by Lisa VO . Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism. He won a 1932 Gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[1] - Wikipedia The Nativity is painted during the peak of realism movement - in a gritty and less idealised ma...

Testimonies

This is an extract from a mail I had written to my friends and I wish that most of you my readers would get this message too. I want to tell you about a few testimonies that changed my perception of testimonies. Most of you may have heard me say this many times, but then since its that good, I wish your Christmas memories could include this one too.  The first story occurs in a little village of pullad. Now that is in Kerala, and for those who do not know where it is, the place is near kumbanad, and around 15 Kms from Chengannur/ Thiruvalla and some where in the mid point between ernakulam and trivandrum .  SEE IT ON MAP I HAD WRITTEN THE STORY IN A BETTER FORMAT OVER AN YEAR AGO. SEE TOTALLY SIMPLE FAITH.  It is a village more than a town , with rubber trees, bugs and the sweet sound of rain in the woody and leafy region, so it cooler and humid than most other parts of kerala. So, i was here, in a prayer meeting run by a pentecostal group called the hallelujah pra...

Spirit of the Lord and his Standards

The chapter Isaiah 59 is a very meaningful chapter. The chapter begins with the prophet telling us that God has not run away from us or nor is he hiding that our tears cannot be seen or our cries cannot be heard. But when we went away from God, we were also neglected justice by others and God saw that his children were oppressed and were denied justice and as it is said in in Isaiah 59:15(b) . This is our God. Although we are sinners he says and that there were no one who could stand for you as mediators , God would bring you the salvation. The Lord is at my right hand, he is there to protect me, but let me tell you that God is also there to guard you from sinning. The verse Isaiah 59:19 , is the most important verse that we should remember when we are tempted. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight*. Isaiah 59:19 What does this verse mean to you? This is what I have understood and I follow. You ...
