THE ANSWER IS GOD!
Job 42:5-6 – Devotional
Job 42:5-6
“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You. Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
I frequently receive messages from readers who feel as if the enemy of our souls has his weapons trained directly on them. They seem to give Satan more credit than he deserves.
I have been thinking of a few questions that may help to put things in perspective.
-
-
- Who is more powerful, God or Satan?
- Who is the defeated foe, God or Satan?
- Who wants to make your life miserable, God or Satan?
- Who wants you to allow Him to fight your battles, God or Satan?
- Who wants to tempt you into giving up, God or Satan?
You could add many more such questions. The important thing is to come to the same conclusion that Job did in today’s Scripture. It is not just hearing about God, but opening our spiritual eyes to see Him ready to meet our need. The answer to all of the above questions is God!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

- Acts 4:1-37
- Psalm 124:1-8
- Proverbs 16:24
Job 3:5
“May darkness and the shadow of death claim it; may a cloud settle on it; may the blackness of the day terrify it.”
It has been 77 years since the military invasion at Normandy, an event that has become known and commemorated as D-Day. June 6, 1944 was a day highly anticipated on both sides of the English Channel. Hitler had been tricked into believing that it was merely a feint to distract his forces from the real landing that he presumed would be at another location. Thank the Lord he was wrong! Casualties could have been even higher than the estimated 20,000 from both sides.
Most of those men who fought and died that day would much rather have been back home with their loved ones. They were there because they were either forced into service or because they felt a call to serve their country.
Each of us regularly finds ourselves in the ultimate battle with the enemy of our souls. Satan is a crafty enemy and will try every means to stop God from having His will in our life. We have a secret weapon against this powerful enemy . . . it is the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised to send after He ascended back to heaven. We know that event as Pentecost.
When we hit the beaches to battle the enemy, remember that we have this powerful weapon that is there with us. Many of the service members of Christ have died on the beaches, but we are promised victory! God’s D-Day is the defeat of Satan for all eternity.
Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!

We have several subscribers to the Daily-E-Votional who are partially or totally blind. I have found that often they have more spiritual sight than many of us with full vision. I received the following from my dear friend, Bill Hadden who fits this category. I trust his words will bless you as they have blessed me.
Cecil, I hope and trust that I am not intruding. You must receive 40 million emails per day. An event occurred on October 22, 2020 that I am compelled to share with any body and everybody.
My 64-year-old son and his 24-year-old son, my grandson, were camping in the mountains near Davis West Virginia. My son has a 40 foot RV and my grandson had followed from here in Lynchburg Virginia to the mountains in West Virginia.
They were actually camping in a State Park campground and after breakfast one morning they decided to go hiking on a trail some 15 or 20 miles from the campground. Don’t know the exact time frame but they were leisurely hiking when this little beagle dog started following them. Suddenly, my son felt short of breath, chest pain and overall weakness. My grandson had checked the little dog and there was no identification tag or any indication of ownership. While my son was laying on the ground, getting himself together, the little dog came over, curled up and lay down beside my son. My grandson then checked the collar and imprinted on the collar were the words “WALK WITH ME!” If Anyone, Anyone, ever needed a manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s ever presence? There Is No Doubt. Cold chills still come over my 92-year-old body every time I share this experience. Finally got back to my grandson’s car, still no cell phone service, and they proceeded “looking for a signal” and came to a little old real country store. No cell phone or landline there but my grandson was advised that there was a hospital about a two-hour drive across the West Virginia/Maryland line. Drove there but the hospital was so small and not able/equipped to care for cardiac patients. Helicopter called from Morgantown West Virginia and my son transported there where he received two stents. Was released, about noon time on Sunday, and arrived back in Lynchburg Virginia around 8 PM. I am a person of faith and have been since I was 10 years old but this is the most dramatic/realistic/confirming event of the Always/Ever Presence of the Holy Spirit. I just needed to share. Take care! In Faith! God bless.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
