Listen To This Week's Recommended Teaching
Each week we select a popular teaching from Jon's archives. This week's teaching from Judges is "The Word Goes In And The Dirt Comes Out."

Hello Everybody!

If I may, could I grab a moment of your time to remind you of a most effective, simple (and absolutely free) way to stay current with the Searchlight teachings day by day?

The way to do so is via our daily Searchlight Podcast.

By clicking on the link given at the end of this note you will receive automatically each day on your computer the teaching of the current Searchlight broadcast.

You can then listen to that teaching on your computer at your convenience.

Or you can transfer it to your iPod to listen to while you are "on the go."

You know, the Scriptures tell us that we are to be "redeeming the time" in these challenging days. And using your iPod to listen to a Bible Study while you are jogging or walking or biking or whatever is a great way to strengthen your soul even as you are exercising your body.

Or how about listening to a teaching while you are watering flowers or washing the car or mowing the lawn or dusting the house? It can turn those chore times we often dread into something we actually look forward to as a time to be enlightened, instructed and inspired through the teaching of the Scripture.

So why not take advantage of this today? Simply click on this link: Searchlight Podcast, and may you find this to be a most practical way to be "redeeming the time" throughout the day.

All Blessings,

Jon

Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand? Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him . . .
Job 13:14-15 (a)
 
And with these words, Satan lost his bet. Although Job didn’t navigate his difficulty perfectly, he completely shuts Satan down right here. “Even if I don’t understand what God is doing, even though it seems to be unfair, even if He should slay me in the process, yet I will trust Him,” Job proclaims. Yes, Job’s faith will falter - but here it’s ignited.

It’s one thing to have faith for healing. It’s a greater thing to have faith for sickness. That is, it takes greater faith to say, “I come to You for healing. But, Lord, should You, as You did to Paul, say, ‘My grace is sufficient,’ I will still trust You. I have faith in You - not faith that I can get You to do what I want You to do - but faith that You will do what’s best.”

Even if the affliction doesn’t go away, even if the problem continues, even if the solution doesn’t come, faith says, “Though You slay me, I will still trust You because You were slain for me. You gave up everything because You love me. Therefore, I embrace whatever You decide to do. You see things I don’t. You know things I can’t.”

Here, with his body broken out in boils, with his worldly possessions and his family taken from him, with his friends relentlessly accusing him, faith flares up in Job.
