Some people would never believe the word “enjoy” was in the Bible!
Some people believe the Bible is only about the “don’t’s” of life. You know, “Don’t do this”, and “Don’t do that”. Some think the Bible is all about the “can’t’s”. “Can’t this”, and “Can’t that” and “Can’t the other!”
Impossible that the Bible would use the word “enjoy”!
“…yet trouble came.”
Job 3.26
Somehow that doesn’t sound very good
“…yet trouble came.”
Here Job says that he is struggling. He says -
that his life is difficult and he is seriously and honestly trying to understand why it is so.
The Anvil of God's Word
“Last eve I paused beside the blacksmith’s door,
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
Then looking in, I saw upon the floor,
Old hammers, worn with beating years of time.
“‘How many anvils have you had,’ said I,
‘To wear and batter all these hammers so?’
‘Just one,’ said he, and then with twinkling eye,
‘The anvil wears the hammers out, you know.’
“Ye shall be…”
Acts1.8
I love the way the above verse gives us a promise as well as a mission!
“Ye shall be…”
When it is God’s will, things can move very quickly.
Adoniram Judson was an unsaved, unconverted man when he enrolled in Andover Theological Seminary. Later that year, in September 1808, he was born-again and his study of the Word of God took on a new nature.
