June 5 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Job 19-21
Key Verse – Job 19:26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.
PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO ASSURES US
THAT WE CAN SEE HIM
Praise be to God for assuring us that we can see Him by His:
Mercy that magnifies Him amidst our miseries
Miracles along His moves so measureless
Might of managing our moments
Message toward meaningful memories
Magnificence above mystical and magical myths
Job 20:29 Praise be to the Lord for appointing us, His people, His heritage:
Nourishing our souls eternally
Nurturing our spirituality earnestly
Negating our sinfulness, endangering
Not negotiating our service of selfish efforts
Nestling our salvation in His sustenance, everlasting
Needing His sanctification for stewardship empowerment
Job 21:22 Praise be to the Saviour for
teaching us His knowledge that:
Offers answers with His truth
Opts for His approval through trust
Opens to us His affirmation during trials
Optimizes His affirmation toward triumph
Organizes our activities against time-testing temptations. Amen!

Extreme Baptism
By Mark D. Stucky
What water volume optimizes baptism?
Sprinkling, pouring, or total immersion?
Will more water cleanse my crimes better?
Will all my many sins wash away?
I might need a better method
for my obstinate stuck-on sins.
To remove all those stubborn stains,
Jesus, please pressure-wash my soul.

“… The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible
Life offers myriad great venture-gain
Toward the best, bright, blissful promised land
Coming from the breath-Source of goodness reign…
The Creator Who makes survival grand.
Life opens ways for jubilation days
Since God cheers toward better tomorrow
When failures come along frustration gaze
Midst detours or short cuts from trials' blow.
Life optimizes love, grace and hope’s zest
As well as wondrous mercy, faith, truth, light
Welcoming each one to enjoy all best
From the Lord, granting bountiful delight.
Life now I choose with praise and worship mirth
Grateful to God* for my existence worth.

Bound in his wheel chair
He’s my special child so dear
Blissfully maximizing
His freedom with joy
Against disability
To cheer others by God’s mirth.
Midst infirmity
He optimizes Christ’s strength
As he gives out Gospel tracts
Gladly gesturing
“The Saviour loves you so much”
Triumphing with his thumbs-up!
*Psalm 92:4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

Doing right* for God’s glory opens His good treasure
Doing so with right motive opposes blessing-robbers
Doing it by faith optimizes virtuous opportunities.
Genesis 18:25… Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
