Scripture Reading:  Genesis 12-20 The LORD said to Abram, "Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father's family, and go to the land that I will show you." So Abram is a sojourner - leaving him with no civil rights in the land that he's going to.  He'll soon discover that the land God shows him that will be for him and his offspring, is currently occupied; and to boot, his wife Sarai is barren.  But God confirms to Abram - by way of a covenant - that He "will make [Abram] into a great nation.  I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.  I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt.  All the families on earth will be blessed through you." - Genesis 12:1-3 ESV   For more information, check out https://www.connectionwindsor.com/bibleplan    

Scriptures:  Job 32-42 A new character, Elihu, enters the scene—a young man who has listened in silence as Job and his three older friends debated. When the friends fall silent, unable to refute Job or defend God effectively, Elihu’s anger flares. He is upset with Job for justifying himself instead of God, and also he’s angry with Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar for condemning Job without providing real answers. Though younger, Elihu believes that wisdom is not reserved for the old—that true understanding comes from “the breath of the Almighty.” 

Scriptures:  Job 22 – 31 The book of Job is considered Wisdom Literature, and is written like a play with great contrast of Heaven and Earth. We see behind the scenes - so to speak - of the conversation that happened amongst the council of heavenly beings – between God and satan. And then on earth what’s revealed to us, is ALL of what Job lost and the discourse of communication between Job, Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar. We are part way through the book of Job – and this week we read the 3rd round of dialogue between Job and his friends. For more information, visit https://www.connectionwindsor.com/bibleplan
