The strength and reward of the righteous man

the kind of relationship that you don't need. A vision from God is not an excuse, he needs a job. Our Lord Jesus Christ came to save the world, His ministry started at age 30. before He became 30 years old, He worked as a carpenter, He taught in the synagogue. He didn't just sit in one place with Mary His mother waiting to become the Savior of the world.

This is from Matthew Henry's Commmentary: \n\nPro 30:24-28 - \nI. Agur, having specified four things that seem great and yet are really contemptible, here specifies four things that are little and yet are very admirable, great in miniature, in which, as bishop Patrick observes, he teaches us several good lessons; as, 1. Not to admire bodily bulk, or beauty, or strength, nor to value persons or think the better of them for such advantages, but to judge of men by their wisdom and conduct, their industry and application to business, which are characters that deserve respect. 2. To admire the wisdom and power of the Creator in the smallest and most despicable animals, in an ant as much as in an elephant. 3. To blame ourselves who do not act so much for our own true interest as the meanest creatures do for theirs. 4. Not to despise the weak things of the world; there are those that are little upon the earth, poor in the world and of small account, and yet are exceedingly wise, wise for their souls and another world, and those are exceedingly wise, wiser than their neighbours. Margin, They are wise, made wise by the special instinct of nature. All that are wise to salvation are made wise by the grace of God.\nII. Those he specifies are, 1. The ants, minute animals and very weak, and yet they are very industrious in gathering proper food, and have a strange sagacity to do it in the summer, the proper time. This is so great a piece of wisdom that we may learn of them to be wise for futurity, Pro_6:6. When the ravening lions lack, and suffer hunger, the laborious ants have plenty, and know no want. 2. The conies, or, as some rather understand it, the Arabian mice, field mice, weak creatures, and very timorous, yet they have so much wisdom as to make their houses in the rocks, where they are well guarded, and their feebleness makes them take shelter in those natural fastnesses and fortifications. Sense of our own indigence and weakness should drive us to him that is a rock higher than we for shelter and support; there let us make our habitation. 3. The locusts; they are little also, and have no king, as the bees have, but they go forth all of them by bands, like an army in battle-array; and, observing such good order among themselves, it is not any inconvenience to them that they have no king. They are called God's great army (Joe_2:25); for, when he pleases, he musters, he marshals them, and wages war by them, as he did upon Egypt. They go forth all of them gathered together (so the margin); sense of weakness should engage us to keep together, that we may strengthen the hands of one another. 4. The spider, an insect, but as great an instance of industry in our houses as the ants are in the field. Spiders are very ingenious in weaving their webs with a fineness and exactness such as no art can pretend to come near: They take hold with their hands, and spin a fine thread out of their own bowels, with a great deal of art; and they are not only in poor men's cottages, but in kings' palaces, notwithstanding all the care that is there taken to destroy them. Providence wonderfully keeps up those kinds of creatures, not only which men provide not for, but which every man's hand is against and seeks the destruction of. Those that will mind their business, and take hold of it with their hands, shall be in kings' palaces; sooner or later, they will get preferment, and may go on with it, notwithstanding the difficulties and discouragements they meet with. If one well-spun web be swept away, it is but making another.\n\n\nAnd this is a commentary from my Bible:\n30:24-28   Ants...rock badgers...locusts...spider: The identified characteristics of these creatures summarize the teaching of the entire book.  The ants demonstrate foresight; the rock badgers, security; the locusts, cooperation with others; the spider, usefulness (in eliminating less desirable insects).  The alternate reasing for spider, "lizard" would be

A lot to read, but, I think the last sentence sums up the whole, as to what you ask. Yes, we may not be sure of the details between God and Satan, I believe this is a personal dispute. Ever hear people say about a Husband/Wife or two best Friends arguing; "You don't want to get in the middle of that"? I not going too, it between God and Satan. True we may be in the middle to some extent and too much to write on that.\nThe Bible does not give too much detail about Satan and in Job chapter 1 we see he is in Heaven talking with God about Job! I not understand God's full plan and it His choice. So, I trust Jesus and figure one day may know the deeper details. Hope this helps.

The most important lesson is that God put them on this earth for a reason. We were all put here for a reason. To serve for the Lord.

The bible states that he uses others in his work so maybe the way it should be read is that he is using one to punish the other.

pray! ask! seek! knock!... God will deliver you if\nhe so chooses...if he does not...don't ask him why,\njust accept it...but keep your faith...remember Job\nHe was innocent...and the Lord allowed him to suffer,\nthere now...this may seem horrible...but the end of\nthe story of Job...is wonderful...he never lost his faith\nin God...even though his idiotic friends were nothing\nmore than more pain for Job to tollerate. Have Faith...\nGod will come through for you in His time!

It's a parable - a story to teach us a lesson.  The Bible is not always an accurate history of life.

In the book of Job, Satan is pretty chummy with God and makes wagers with him like two blokes at a country club.\n\nAccording to Paradise Lost, Satan rebelled against God because he would not serve Him. ("Better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven.")\n\nIsn't God everything? If God is everything, isn't Satan just an aspect of God?

I can at least give documentation that God does exits.\nNow take the Bible. It was written many hundreds of years apart.\nThe book of Job. this was written hundreds of years before Christ.\nIn Job, God explains to Job how the behemoth, or, dinosaurs lived. At the time of Job, the dinosaurs were dead millions of years. But God describes how the dinosaurs lived. Man can describe what the bones of dinosaurs look like, but, not how they live.\nExample 2. \nThe book of Psalm was also written around the time of King David. The book of Psalm describes the Crucifixion of Jesus.\nEven how the roman soldiers would be gambling for his clothes.\n\nChristians at least have a bases for believing.

I have no clue as to the story you've spoken of. \nIf you began to research, and have begun to read the bible in search of this tale.. why not continue reading the bible, and get the true answers you're seaching for. You may not even be aware of the right question.. but your answer awaits you, in God's word.

It doesn't really have a title to this story, but it did involve King Solomon and two mothers.\nIts found in 1 Kings 3:16-28 and sometimes refered as "Solomon's wise decision"

It says to rest not work, however Jesus did talk to some people about this subject and he asked if they would let the ox die in the ditch because it was the sabbath or if they would pull it out!  I can't remember where in the bible it is but his point was if it is important to take care of something on the sabbath then it's okay to work!

Ok, i got 2 good ones. The story aboout Balaal and the talking donkey at Numbers 22; 28- 35\nAlso Absalom getting stuck in the tree from his hair at 2 Samuel 18; 9\n\nHere's some more doozies;  Jacob dressing up and getting hairy like Esau in Genesis 27; 15 - 40\nIsraelites disobeying Moses about the manna provision and getting worms in their food at Exodus 16; 19 and 20\nMy personal favorite is Exodus 32; 24 where Aaron is explaining to Moses how he took the jewelry from the people , threw it into the fire , and the golden calf happened to come out on its own. What he really did is mentioned at verse 4.

It is true now and read below to soak in the full meaning.\n\n"I hope the seriousness of these verses will strike all of us to the very marrow of our being. Israel had rejected the word of God and had gone after idols. They had fallen into a depth of iniquity that has rarely been equaled in human history. God had sent various judgments upon them but they had not repented.\n\nWhen Amos began to cry out against the sin of Israel, he was rejected. The religious and political leaders tried to send him packing. Amos 7:12-13 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court. This is the king’s chapel. This is where the king goes to church and you ought to bridle your tongue, round the corners and water down what you say in this place. Do you want to embarrass the king? Go down into the land of Judah, that unsophisticated portion of the nation, and do your preaching against sin down there. We are a gentle people here. We pride ourselves in our liberal attitude. Leave us alone here in the kings court. \n\nDid God have Amos tone down his message? Absolutely not! God warns them of the worst famine yet, a famine of not hearing the word of God. No judgment brought upon a nation can equal this kind of judgment. The day would come when they would run to and fro in the land seeking the word of God and could not find it. They would go from sea to sea and from the north to the east seeking the word of God and would not find it. Their young people would faint from thirst, a thirst to hear the word of God expounded but to no avail.\n\nThere are several things that are suggested in this text to which I would call your careful and sober attention.\n\nWE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT\n\nFAMINE WAS NO STRANGER TO ISRAEL\n\nFamine was no stranger to Israel. They knew what it was to run hither and yon seeking food. They had the history of their nation written in the five books of Moses and knew there had been famine before. \n\nWe read of a famine in the land in the early days of Abraham. Genesis 12:10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. This was bad enough that Abram had to leave the land and go down into the land of Egypt for the duration of the dearth.\n\nIn the days of Isaac there was another serious famine. Genesis 26:1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. Instead of Egypt, Isaac went to the Philistines for sustenance during the famine.\n\nThen there was the famine in the days of Jacob and Joseph which drove Jacob and his family to Egypt to live. The account of this famine and circumstances in it take up several chapters in Genesis beginning with chapter 41.\n\nThis was a seven year famine. Genesis 41:30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land. One can only imagine the suffering. This famine was very serious. Seven years in duration and the people suffered greatly in all the lands. Genesis 41:57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands. Seven months would be a long time to go without rain. I can’t imagine the effects of seven years.\n\nThis famine was not just in that particular part of the world; it extended over all the known inhabited earth. Genesis 41:56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. Even Egypt suffered in the latter years of the famine. Genesis 47:13 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of E
