Remember & learn
Job 7:6-10 NKJV "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, And are spent without hope. [7] Oh, remember that my life is a breath! My eye will never again see good. [8] The eye of him who sees me will see me no more; While your eyes are upon me, I shall no longer be. [9] As the cloud disappears and vanishes away, So he who goes down to the grave does not come up. [10] He shall never return to his house, Nor shall his place know him anymore. These are the words of Job, but c

The Lord's doing!
Psalm 118:21-23 NKJV I will praise You, For You have answered me, And have become my Salvation. [22] The Stone which the builders rejected Has become the Chief Cornerstone. [23] This was the LORD's doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. Don't grab the limelight and the take credit for the things that God has done. If we do that, we not only are stealing God's Glory, but we are making our own eyes dim. We see this in the life of Jesus' earthly ministry with the Pharisees and Sadd

Planks
Matthew 7:1-5 NKJV "Judge not, that you be not judged. [2] For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. [3] And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? [4] Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? [5] Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see

God DOES hear
Psalm 10:1-5 AMPC Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide Yourself, [veiling Your eyes] in times of trouble (distress and desperation)? [2] The wicked in pride and arrogance hotly pursue and persecute the poor; let them be taken in the schemes which they have devised. [3] For the wicked man boasts (sings the praises) of his own heart's desire, and the one greedy for gain curses and spurns, yes, renounces and despises the Lord. [4] The wicked one in the pride of his
