And we think what we do is so important! Have a little respect. As wise King Solomon said: "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity". Ecclesiastes 1:2b

Ecclesiastes 3:14
I know that whatever God does,
It shall be forever.
Nothing can be added to it,
And nothing taken from it.
God does it, that men should fear before Him.

Ever feel powerless? You are! In the book of Job, God makes it clear to all, that He is God, the creator of the universe. Listen up global warmers! We can believe that He knows what He's doing, or live in anxiety over things which we have no control.

Job 38:25-30
“Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water,
Or a path for the thunderbolt,
To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one,
A wilderness in which there is no man;
To satisfy the desolate waste,
And cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?
Has the rain a father?

Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
From whose womb comes the ice?
And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
The waters harden like stone,
And the surface of the deep is frozen.
Bible Gateway link: Job 38:25-30

Are you uneasy when people start talking about the second coming, or even the first? So religious, so out there, right? Thank God it IS out there. Something to hope for.

Psalm 96:11-13
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
let the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes, 
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness,
and the peoples in his faithfulness.

He was so lost and depressed, Satan had literally tortured Job. I'm a little lost too, but then Job's prescient words are exactly what I need. Job's and ..."my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth." The Bible is a miracle I can hold in my hands, I'm really never lost.

Job 19:23-25
“Oh, that my words were written!
Oh, that they were inscribed in a book!
That they were engraved on a rock
With an iron pen and lead, forever!
For I know that my Redeemer lives,
And He shall stand at last on the earth;

Fish tales! All creatures know the truth, but human creatures sometimes forget who is in charge. As Job points out, God holds every life is in His hand.

Job 12:7-12
“But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you;

And the fish of the sea will explain to you.
Who among all these does not know
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
In whose hand is the life of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind?
Does not the ear test words
And the mouth taste its food?
Wisdom is with aged men,
And with length of days, understanding.

Bible Gateway link: Job 12:7-12 (NKJV)

There was a time when I thought talk of the devil was silliness. Until I found him going to and fro. He caught me unawares but God rescued me. Now when Satan is walking back and forth, I resist him and he flees from me. See James 4:7

Job 1:6-7
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. 
And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” 
So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”

and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,
