The David Spoon Experience 8-7-23 Part 2

60 minutes:

1) Elihu brings home the bacon when he tells Job that God is greater than any person. Why are you bringing a charge against Him? He does not respond to people's complaints. This could be one of the key issues in every individual's walk with God. Here's the question: Why, God? Here's the answer: Why not, David? The truth is that God surpasses everyone else and owes no man any explanation at any time for anything. Period.

2) And yet, in God's tremendous mercy, He continues to speak repeatedly. However, people fail to listen and recognize the voice of God. When God speaks, people often mistake it for thunder because they aren't attentive to the message being conveyed. God even takes the time to communicate with mankind through their dreams. He whispers warnings in their ears, even while they sleep. These messages come directly from Him, yet they go unnoticed.

3) In his abundant mercy, God works to bring about change in people's hearts and minds, leading them to redirect their lives and commit to Him. He does this because he loves people and desires their redemption. Unfortunately, too many of his creations remain in rebellion and choose not to respond, which deeply saddens Him. He tries to speak softly into their minds, but often they wake up and forget about Him altogether.

4) Here's a hidden gem—a proclamation of the Gospel found in Job, Chapter 33, Verse 23. The Lord mentions that people long for a special messenger from Heaven. And if that Messenger prays for a person's righteousness to be declared, God will respond and answer that prayer. Guess who the answer to that prayer is? The answer is Jesus Christ. Through Jesus, we have a special messenger from heaven Who intercedes for us. When we position ourselves to receive blessings from this Special Messenger, we discover that God hears all our prayers. Now, isn't that amazing?
