The Hedge.

                                                                            The Hedge.

                                                                   God’s Divine Protection!


There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and “that man was perfect and upright”, and “one that feared God”, and “eschewed evil” (deliberately avoided evil).  (Job 1:1)


Hast not thou made an “Hedge About Him”, and “about his house”, and “about all that he hath on every side”?  Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.  (Job 1:10)


Holy Living moves God to Provide a “Hedge” of Protection.

How did Job Live to get this Divine Protection?


Our Daily Nugget is about a man named Job, who Lived Holy; he was “perfect and upright”, “he feared God”, and “deliberately avoided evil, doing the harmful and hurtful are are the fruit of wicked thinking”, which leads to “evil actions”.  


1.    He was perfect and upright.  This perfect is not like we use the word perfect; to never make a mistake or to never do 

       anything wrong..  Biblical Perfection is a “Heart/Mind” “Committed” to Living like God Says”. 

2.    He Feared God - To fear God is not to be scared of him; to Fear God is “To 

       hate pride, arrogance, the froward mouth (the smart mouth), and the evil way.

       It is to “hate what God hates and to Love what God Loves.

3.    Job eschewed “evil”; he deliberately avoided evil.  To deliberately avoid evil is 

       evidence that we Chose to Obey the Holy Spirit instead of the demonic spirit.


When we Live Holy, like Job, God will provide a “Hedge of Protection“  for us.  However, it is important to remember that “The Lord Giveth and the Lord Taketh Away”; expect either from the Lord.  Have a content and trusting spirit, when He gives and when He takes away.  The giving and the taking away is “For a Reason”.  Just Trust God in the storm, Like Job.  Get Your Hedge for you and your household “Today”!  God is Still Building Hedges Today; He is Ready to Build One for you!

Job Loved the Lord and he Loved his Neighbors!

Love will Guarantee You, “Your Hedge”!

Don't Let Go!

                                                                     Don’t Let Go!                                            The Wisdom In Persistence!   And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him “until the breaking of the day”.  Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken”.  But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me”. (Genesis 32:24 & 26)   How Bad Do You Want It? Don’t Let Go Until You Get Your Blessing!   Our Daily Nugget  is Jacob being in a Wrestling Match with an Angel, all night long.  The Angel hit Jacob on his hip and made him limp.  But Jacob would not let him go, even after he asked Jacob...

Clutter!

                                                                              Clutter!   The Demon of “Clutter”?   A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.  (Ecc. 3:6) The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.   (Luke 8:14) There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches “kept” for the owners thereof to their hurt.  (Ecc. 5:13)   It Is Better to “Give than to Receive”; “Giving Prevents Clutter & Hoarding”.   Clutter and hoarding prevent Order. In the absence of Order, there will be  “Disorder”. Clutter and hoarding will lead to Disorder, they can be physical...

Rely On Faith.

                                                                                       Rely On Faith. And We Will Be Blessed like Abraham.   Understand, then, that those who have “Faith” are children of Abraham.  Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by “Faith” and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham:  “All nations will be blessed through you”.  So those who “Rely On Faith” are blessed along with Abraham, the man of Faith. (Galatians 3:7-9)   Our Measure of Faith is Sufficient. We “Exercise our Faith” when we “Rely on Faith”!   God choose to Bless all people through Abraham, our Father of Faith. Know and understand Faith.  Faith or Works of the Law? ...
