Job 36:24 Remember to extol his work, which people have praised in song.

Even though Elihu was placing the blame for what happened in Job’s court, he did say some good things too.

The people around us may not say the things we want to hear, but we should listen to what they say and discern what is right and wrong.

But, as ambassadors for God, we should always aim to spread the truth alone because it is what people will hear.

Support what God says through your actions and your words together.

Psalm 8:3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

It does not take a rocket scientist to see the beauty and splendour of the universe; in fact, they may take far too an objective view on things!

David did stop and look at the world around him at times, and when he did, he knew God was behind this great design!

Stop for a moment are really look at what is around you. Look further and see what is there. Look out to the stars and imagine what is out there.

This is what God has created for us to live within…

2 Chronicles 33:3 He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had demolished; he also erected altars to the Baals and made Asherah poles. He bowed down to all the starry hosts and worshiped them.

When Manasseh became king, he was only 12 years old. I don’t think he had much chance against the people guiding him at the time, and that was the people around him and not God!

He seemed to go out of his way to rebuild all the evil his father had got rid of; that really does sound like a lot of people wanting to do their own things instead of doing God’s will.

Sound pretty much like what many people of this world are like today – they are going after their own desires instead of listening to truth and wisdom from God.

He will be angered!

1 Corinthians 15:41 The sun has one kind of splendour, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendour.

How do we know who to follow in life? There are so many stars and so many who say we should follow them!

Well, we can follow earthly stars because they do often give us something to look up to and aim for in our lives, but we don’t have to worship them!

God alone requires and deserves our true worship; others on earth are asking you to worship them to lift themselves up.
