Nature

I look out the window it’s raining

Even in the rain the birds sing

I look out the window the wind is blowing

But the tree stands still

I look at myself whining about my sorrows

I look at myself falling when the wind blows

What should I do?

Why does the bird sing even when it rains?

Birds actually sing sweeter in the rain

Because they want to attract there mate

Can we sing to in times of rain to attract God?

How is the tree standing?

Even when the winds are blowing hard?

Their roots are firm and deep into the ground

So it may not fall

Is our root firm and deep into the word?

Rain represents sorrow

What were things Job faced?

-ox and donkeys raided by Sabeans

-fire of God fell from heaven or say lightning burned the sheep

-Chaldeans formed 3 bands raided the camels

Think about how much love and affection and work he put into those 11, 500 animals

-Killed the servants

-Jobs’ kids feast a wind hit the house killed them

Now think about how much love he gave to those children

Job would wake up early in the morning sacrificing an animal for each son think they might have cursed God in their hearts and now they got killed instead Job weeping and cursing God

Job 1:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped

Job worshiped rather than crying in sorrow

Wind represents waver

Mathew 4

Jesus is tested in the wilderness

Jesus didn’t eat for 40 days and 40 nights

Devil in v.3 said “If You are the Son of God,

Command that these stones become bread.”

Jesus in v. 4 “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by

bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the from the mouth of God.

At the end Devil in v.8 “All these things I will give You if

You will fall down and worship me.” Jesus said “Away with you, Satan!

For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.

Instead of Jesus wavering He was firm and rooted in the word
