This Week I Shall Be Connecting Three Verses From The Bible From Three Different Books


A Few Weeks Ago I Came Across A Few Verses And Wanted To Talk About Them So One Day Whilst Meeting Up With Nick Priggis, We Discussed These Verses And This Is What We Talked About.

The First Verse Is "JOB 13:1-12"

My eyes have seen all this, my ears have heard and understood it. What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you. But I desire to speak to the Almighty and to argue my case with God. You, however, smear me with lies; you are worthless physicians, all of you! If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom. Hear now my argument; listen to the plea of my lips. Will you speak wickedly on God's behalf ? Will you speak deceitfully for him? Will you show him partiality? Will you argue the case for God? Would it turn out well if he examined you? Could you deceive him as you might deceive men? He would surely rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality. Would not his splendor terrify you? Would not the dread of him fall on you? Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay

Job Had To Deal With Suffering In His Life. God Granted Satan Permission To Strip Job Of His Possessions And His Family And To Afflict Him With Excruciating Boils. Job At First Accepted His Plight, Saying, "The LORD Gave, And The LORD Has Taken Away; Blessed Be The Name Of The LORD" (Job 1:21).

In The Verse Written Above, Job Was Responding To What Zophar Was Saying (Job 11:1-20) After The Events Of His Suffering.

The Next Verse Is Matthew 28:5-10

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you." So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."

If you set the story of Jesus's ressurection aside and read this verse as it stands. its as if the Angel is telling the woman to seek Jesus and Tell everyone about him

Seek and you will find

The Final Verse is "Luke 10:18-20"

He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

This verse basicly implies "No Fear". If you are facing an enemy you do not need to fear it. God is watching over you and he will guide you and help you when you are in trouble.

those are the verse with a brief summary/write-up of things that were discussed.

Put together you have "Suffering - Believing/Seeking Jesus - No Fear"

People suffer in this world in many different ways. Some of these people then turn to Jesus for guidance and help with what they are in need of. And then in time if they truly believe, They shall not fear as by believing in God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit, they will have eternal life,

I know some of my information on some of these verses maybe incorrect, but this is how ive seen them, and i believe a message has been written within these verses.

Also I cant remember everything that was discussed when me and Nick were talking about this so some bits might be a bit confusing.
