Job 23:12: Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
“read the Bible daily? That means every day without fail. Each of us should say to ourselves,“No Bible, no breakfast. No read, no feed.” Be like Job, who “treasured the words of His mouth more than [his] necessary food” (Job 23:12, emphasis added). The key is to put your Bible before your belly—to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. If we are not “disciples” of Christ—disciplined to His Word—we will more than likely reproduce after our own kind. If we are worldly and undisciplined, our kids may grow up to follow our poor example of what a Christian should be. If we are hypocrites, we may just reproduce hypocrites. What greater parental betrayal could there be than to lead your children to hell? So esteem God’s Word more than your necessary food, and teach your kids to do the same.” ― Ray Comfort, How to Bring Your Children to Christ...& Keep Them There: Avoiding the Tragedy of False Conversion
Job 23:15-16: "Therefore I am terrified at His presence; When I consider this, I am afraid of Him. For God made my heart weak, And the Almighty terrifies me."
William Henry Green Files
The words of Job are here ended. He stand face to face with a mystery that is thus far wholly unexplained. he has no theory, and can imagine none upon which his present sorrows can be accounted for. His friends undertook to silence his complaint, but he instead silenced them. He holds fast to his faith in God but he does so notwithstanding the fact that he cannot rid himself of troubling questions that have arisen in his soul. Nor can he align his faith with the facts which he can neither escape nor explain away, those which seem to be directly contrary with the divine attributes. He gloomily says, "Therefore I am terrified at His presence; When I consider this, I am afraid of Him. For God made my heart weak, And the Almighty terrifies me." (Job 23:15, 16). There is an unrest in his soul which he cannot compose. Satan has not been able to destroy him, but he has plunged him into darkness and distress, out of which he cannot find his way. His trust in God continues, however. He still confides in his Redeemer, who after his skin is destroyed and his flesh has mouldered back to the dust, will reveal Himself to his disembodied spirit. But will God allow his servant to go on in darkness to the end, bearing his heavy burden, and hoping against hope? Must Job die under the cloud? -William Henry Green; The Book of Job Unfolded; 1874
