Read Thru the Word 2025 | Today's Lesson

January 21, 2025

Scripture:

JOB 8:1-11:20

Do I Learn From Or Live In The Past?

Just ask the previous generation. Pay attention to the experience of our ancestors.

Job 8:8

But those who came before us will teach you. They will teach you the wisdom of old. 

Job 8:10

My Takeaways

Something Old

“Bildad had his wisdom of the ancients and his own belief system, both of which agreed and seemed unshakable. What he did not really have was God Himself. Bildad and the other counselors of Job talk a lot, but what they do not do is pray. It would seem that Bildad had very little real experience with God; yet Job was being prepared to experience God so closely that he could say, now my eyes see You.” - David Guzik

Something New

“Is the past encouraging you or embalming you?” - Warren Wiersbe

Learn from the past, don’t live in it.

This is what the LORD says: Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it.
Jeremiah 6:16a 

  • Seek the Lord.
  • Stay in His Word.
  • Don’t search social media for counsel.
  • Talk to people who have walked, and are walking in the ways of the Lord.
  • Pray about the counsel.
  • Move forward as the Lord leads.

Something To Do

Be encouraged by the past, not embalmed by it.
