It will be about how everything seems to find its way back to the choice we make at the trees.

So sorry that happened. I might suggest typing your answers into a word processor or notepad and then copy and pasting into the quiz response area. That way you have the answers available if something happens.

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Psalms 150:6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Hallelujah!

The video from Bible Project on Proverbs 8 was thought-provoking. Wisdom or folly? Which will…

This verse really jumped out at me today:

Job 40:8 Would you really annul My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?

“would you condemn Me to justify yourself?”

Job 38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said: 2 “Who is this who obscures My counsel by words without knowledge? 3 Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.

Psalm 144:1 Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

In some ways, like David, we are being trained for war and battle as we engage in the spiritual warfare around us. This verse is most likely a metaphor for God’s involvement…

Job 33:14 For God speaks in one way and in another, yet no one notices.

I also thought that this verse from the Psalms really added to what is going on in Job

Psalms 143:2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.
