Daily Devotion - Job 16:1-7

Job 16:1-7
1 Then Job answered and said,

2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters [are] ye all.

3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

4 I also could speak as ye [do]: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.

5 [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage [your grief].

6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and [though] I forbear, what am I eased?

7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

We are to be bearing one another's burdens. Are your words comforting and uplifting or are they like Job's friends and just hurt more. Let's be uplifting and helpful to someone today.

Colossians 1:10

Colossians 1:10
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

This should be our daily goal. We should never get to a point where we feel we have attained all. We need to constantly be learning how to please God more making sure our lives are fruitful.

Recipe: Onion Roasted Potatoes

I just tried this recipe yesterday. It is sooooo easy and really good. My son who does not like potatoes ate them!

1 envelope onion soup mix
4 med potatoes (cut into large chunks)
1/3 cup olive oil

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. In a 13X9 inch baking or roasting pan, combine all ingredients. Bake, stirring occasionally, 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender and golden brown.

(I used 6 or so big red potatoes. I cut them into small chunks so they would cook faster, it only took about 20 minutes)

I Peter 1:3-5

I Peter 1:3-5
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Praise the Lord for the blessed hope that His resurrection brought us. Hope in Heaven, hope to see our saved loved ones that have already made it to Heaven. Thank God that he conquered death for us.

Happy Easter!

On Sunday morning, three days after the death and burial of Christ, some women went very early, as soon as it was light, to the tomb in the garden. One of these women was Mary Magdalene, another was also named Mary and another was name Salome. They were bringing some more fragrant spices to place in the wrappings upon the body of Jesus. As they went, they said to each other. "Who will roll away for us the great stone at the door of the cave?" But when they came to the cave, they saw that the seal was broken, the stone was rolled away and the soldiers who had been on guard were gone. There was the tomb of Jesus open! They did not know that before they came to the tomb, there had been an earthquake and that an angel had come down from heaven and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. The soldiers had already fled. Looking into the tomb, they saw that the body of Jesus was not there. But, sitting at each end of the tomb, they saw two young men, clothed in long white garments. Their faces shone, and seeing them, the women were filled with fear.
Matthew 28:5-6 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
