Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the Book of Job with Chapter 7. In our text today we see Job stopped talking to Eliphaz and talked straight to God. Talking straight to God allowed him to express his feelings directly instead of acting out to others. In making application we see the need to talk to the Lord directly about our relationship to Him. Let Him know how you feel, not for His sake - for He already knows, but for your sake to avoid bitterness, seeking wisdom and guidance from the Lord. How about you? Do you have a relationship with the Lord and tell Him how you feel when going through times of discouragement? Let us learn from our text today and the example Job set before us as he talk to the Lord and had a relationship with Him.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the Book of Job with Chapter 6. In our text today we see Job speak and address the critical unfounded words of Eliphaz. Job said his advice what like eating the whites of an egg, "tasteless". In making application we see that ill-advised counsel is just as tasteless. Be Quick to give Compassion but be slow to give advice to those who are hurting. A wise man once said," folks will listen to what you know - when they know how much you care" How about you? Are you quick to criticize others in their time of need? Let us learn from our text today and the life of Job to quick to give compassion and slow to give tasteless advice.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the Book of Job with Chapter 4. In our text today we see Eliphaz speaks and falsley accuses Job of his sin causing his affliction. The Bible says judge not lest ye be judged but it says we are to rebuke sin. In making application we see that we should be slow to accuse others in the results of their lives but we are also to not to overlook sin in our lives and community. The results and judgement are the Lords but we are still not to overlook sin. Loving sinners and hating sin while not passing judgement should be the goal of every believer. How about you? Are you quick to judge? Let us learn from our text today and the example of Eliphaz and Job to remember to love the sinner while still hating sin.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the Book of Job with Chapter 3. In our text today we see Job speak under the affliction and pain of his current circumstances. Although he is upset and speaks of his death in travail, he does not curse God but rather had faith that if God has him alive he must cling to his faith. In making application we can see the importance in faith in the midst of our personal storms. Once we realize God is in control and have placed out faith in Him we must cling to our Lord with the same attitude of Job. If it is my time to go I am ready but as long as God puts breath in my lungs I will serve the Lord. How about you? Are you facing tough times that test your faith? Let us learn from our text today and the faithfulness of Job to remember to keep our faith in the midst of adversity.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we start the Book of Job with Chapter 1. In our text today we see the beginning of Job being tested as his character is revealed for us to understand who is Job? We see Job's wealth is destroyed by Satan. What catches my eye is how Satan cannot touch Job unless God allows it to happen. In making application we see how anything that happens to us must pass through God's Permissive Hand. Some ask why would a good God allow bad things to happen to us? As we will see as we go through this book we find that God allows us to go through momentary light afflictions because He has a bigger and better plan for our lives. These trails we face allow us to grow and mature for future and eternal benefits to us. Like a bad tasting medicine these seasons of testings are for our good and His Glory. How about you? Are you facing a bad circumstance in your life? Let us be encouraged and learn from our text today to remember that every eternal good thing for us passes through God's Permissive Hand.

Today we conclude with the Book of Esther with Chapter 10. In the book of Esther , we clearly see God at work in the lives of individuals and in the affairs of a nation. Even when it looks as if the world is in the hands of evil men, God is still in control protecting us. Although we may not understand everything happening around us, we must trust in God's protection, have integrity, and do what we know is right. In making application today we still live around evil. God is God and He is in control. Our responsibility is to simply trust him, have integrity, and follow His Word in doing what is right. How about you?

To remember the day Mordecai inaugurated the feast of Purim to remember the day. In making application we see the importance of remembering the victories the Lord gives us in our lives.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue with the Book of Esther with Chapter 8. In our text today we see the king make a decree for the Jews deliverance. What catches my eye is the verse 8 when the king wrote the decree in His Name and Sealed it with His Ring, which no man could reverse. In making application we see a picture of what our Lord has done at Calvary. Making Salvation for all who come to Him and then sealing it with His Blood which no man can reverse. All Authority is given to our Lord as He defeated Death, Hell, and the Grave. How about you? Have you received Salvation through the confession and repentance of your sin to a Holy God through His Son Jesus?

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue with the Book of Esther with Chapter 6. In our text today we see how the king honors Mordecai as he reviews the recorded good deeds of Mordecai. This story pictures our Lord working in our lives. In making application we see how the Lord is Quietly and Patiently working. Yes, working all things together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. For most of us it seems as if nothing is happening and we ask "where is God?" in our situations but the truth is that the Lord hears our prayers and has His Plan in action even though we don't always see or understand His Workings. How about you? Do you get frustrated and discouraged when you don't see the Lord working on your timetable? Let us learn from our text today and the testimony of Mordecai to remember the Lord is working in your life even when you don't realize His quiet, patient plan.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue with the Book of Esther with Chapter 5. In our text today we see Esther interceding for the Jews as she appears before the king. What catches my eye is, although it took faith for Esther to intervene, it was God who was in control providing the victory for the Jewish nation. In making application we are reminded that even though it takes faith to move a mountain it is God who moves the mountain. I don't know what you are facing today but remember that God is in Control. Yes, have faith and act but leave the results up to our Lord. How about you? Do you remember that God is in control? Let us learn from our text today and the example of Esther to remember that God is in Control.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue with the Book of Esther with Chapter 4. In our text today we see Mordecai asks Esther to help and Esther risks her life to petition the King. Esther had faith and acted upon it to save the Jews. In making application we see the principle of acting on our faith. True faith produces a work and reminds me of what a old preacher said that true faith has "shoe-leather" on it, meaning our faith will get us come to our feet and go down an isle and then go to others as we share our faith. He said a good Christian could be measured by wearing out the leather soles of your shoes, or shoe-leather, because of their activity. How about you? Do you have faith in God? Let us learn from our text today and the example of Esther to act on our faith putting a little shoe-leather to what we believe.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue with the Book of Esther with Chapter 3. In our text today we see the Jews threatened as Haman plans to exterminate the Jews. Just as in the past, the present, and in the future the enemies of God try to have God's People bow to the enemies and worship their false god's. In making application we see the same attacks in our lives. Today ungodliness is all around us and the people of God have the ungodly attempting to have us bow to their false gods just as Haman attempted. God will prevail and He instructs us to stand to these attacks. As we do He fights our battles for us, we are not to bow or retreat in the heat of the battle. Remember David and Goliath, Daniel in Lions den, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego in the furnace, and all the other examples in the Bible, we are instructed to stand when the enemy comes against us. How about you? Are you faced with ungodly attacks in your life? Let us learn from our text today as those who will come against you because you are a child of the King, to stand, and not bow when faced with the attacks of the enemy.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue with the Book of Esther with Chapter 2. In our text today we see the King chooses Esther to be his Queen. Her position is a result of the Kinsman redeemer Mordecai, her uncle, who took her in and raised her as her own when her parents died. In making application we have a kinsman redeemer who is Jesus-Christ. Who adopts us into the family of God once we call upon his name for salvation. Once in the family we are joint aries with Christ having all the benefits as one who is born as a natural child. How about you? Are you saved? If so you have a kinsman redeemer who has adopted you into the family of God and you now are a joint Aires of Jesus-Christ sharing all the benefits of being a child of the King.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we start the Book of Esther with Chapter 1. In our text today we see Queen Vashti is disposed of which makes way for Esther in tomorrows text. What catches my eye in the book of Esther is that even those Jews who were scattered in the province of the heathen, they were taken care of, and were wonderfully preserved, when threatened with destruction. In making application we see the Hand of God protecting us in the midst of a chaotic and ungodly world. As Christians we need that we are in the Hand of God and he will protect and deliver us when surrounded by the enemy. How about you? Are you worried in these ungodly last days? Let us learn from our text today and the book of Esther to remember as a saved Christian we are in the hand of God even though our surroundings are very ungodly.

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today we continue in the book of Nehemiah Chapter 4. In our text today we see the enemies of Israel opposing the rebuilding of the walls. In opposition Nehemiah prayed and prepared devising a plan of teamwork of spreading out having one work while the other protected and watched over the worker. In making application we see the plan for working together in the Body of Christ. Prayer partners and accountability groups are excellent ways to be strong in the Lord as we face the enemy and his attacks. Having a partner pray for you and keeping an eye on your Christian walk helps keep us focused on the Lord and avoid the pitfalls in life. How about you? Do you have a prayer or accountability partner to help warn you of the enemy attacks in your life. Let us learn from our text today and the life of Nehemiah to remember to watch out for each other as we serve the Lord.
