Brought To the Light 2

Cicadas burst forth into song.  Why did they not decompose
seventeen years underground?
How much knowledge, right or wrong, does God choose not to disclose?
God’s servant, Job finally found...
When life's negatives develop, it is Truth which they expose.

Silent One Date: 6/17/2018 7:17:00 AM IS this he story of Job? I am not aware of it... Congratulations on your placement in the contest.. Login to Reply Reason A. Poteet Date: 6/17/2018 10:33:00 PM It is the last part of the book (about chapter 38 and on) where Job wants a conversation with God and God starts asking questions like "Where were you when I created the earth?" He goes through about 70 such questions ending with Job putting his hand over his mouth and agreeing,, "I really don't know very much." Thank you for the honor of a 3rd place. I'm pleased.

Reason A. Poteet Date: 6/16/2018 12:05:00 PM Combining Maureen’s recent emphasis on cicadas and a bible study of Job. The book is not so much about suffering but rather the sovereignty of God. Appreciate the read and great remark Login to Reply Reason A. Poteet Date: 6/16/2018 12:06:00 PM
