Devotional – January 24, 2012

VERSE:
Job 8:15–“He trusts in his house, but it does not stand; he holds fast to it, but it does not endure.”

TRUTH:
Bildad, another of Job’s friends, now speaks and shares how godless people end up placing their hope and trust in their material possessions, which will eventually pass away. While this doesn’t apply to Job in this circumstance, it can apply to many other people. Do we trust in our material things, houses, cars, money, to be able to provide for us, or are we trusting only in God?

RESPONSE:
Lord, today I want to hold fast to You and You alone, nothing else. You are all I need and the only thing that will endure.
