Job 27:3 ~ The Spirit of God

Happy Father's Day Week!

We can trace Genesis today. In each of us. Moses knew something more profound, as profound as Solomon expressed of Jesus being part of Creation in Proverbs 8 and told of the circles of the deep mankind had not seen by aerial view. Amazing. Moses, in the Holy Spirit, knew something profound we can point to in Adam and Eve.

Leviticus 17:14

For the life of all flesh is its blood.

We can find our common Ancestor is Eve and she is from Africa. Our blood tells of Creation. A Work of God.

The image of the Cloud is heart filling - a baby is born and held closely to the face of the Parent.

Genesis 2:7

Then the LORD God formed 
the man of dust from the ground 

and breathed into his nostrils 
the breath of life, 

and the man became a living creature.

Job had the gumption, grit and fire to continue in God's Plan. Job believed (he lived at the same time as Jacob) the purpose of life is Good. God is Good. God's Plan is Good. In spite of all adversity, Job believed God had something for Job personally.

Job 27:3

“The Spirit, breath, of God is in my nostrils.”

A profound message of God is not departing. God is Steadfast. Job believed in breathing. All else around him failed, and Job believed in breathing. I'm not sure this is applied in Scripture any other place. Today I met a woman, of distinction, who has become a widow, does not presently have siblings, nor nieces or nephews. She is bravely self described as an orphan in the world. She has met change in life. The reason we met is - her prayer life. She was there to pray for an 8 year old boy who was hurt very badly by an aquarium in school breaking. His arm is in peril. Pray for this little boy - in school - 8 years old to keep his arm. We believe prayer and the willingness to do the work of faith in the One God has sent - Jesus Christ - will save his arm.

We also are praying for a 60 year old Physician who has been admitted to a Dementia Unit. We pray God will continue this work of His - to use the doctor's mind and talents by God giving miraculous healing. And for my neighbor as well. Who has Multiple Sclerosis and, because he is a brain surgeon, has inside knowledge what his own brain looks like. Blessed to have a caretaker, a beloved son and wife.


Breathing. Parenting. Loving. God of Encouragement - God is our Coach. God of Love. To Love is to Live.

We wonder what happened to Joseph - Picked by God the Almighty to parent the most amazing of children - Jesus Christ.

We cannot possibly find it coincidental, we have an idea of Joseph's Life. His entire Life.

Luke 2

Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

Hearts are revealed. In this prophetic Word of God Thee Father, we are speaking of the Parents of Jesus Christ. The Mother of Jesus is told of rising and falling. And only His Mother is told her soul will be pierced by violence. Joseph is standing present and is not included.

We find Rising and Falling in Good Friday of The King of the Jews.

Mark 15

21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.

A Certain Man brings Light. We find the Father Son Bar Identification is falling to the past. Jesus heartwarmingly knows Simon of Cyrene has two sons and their names. Jesus is not told Simon is Simon Bar Grandfather's Name. Jesus is told of Simon's living love of two sons. (Small wonder we learn of a Rufus in Romans 16. Rufus.)

Identification at the Beginning of the New Covenant of the future! The hearts of fathers return to their sons!

Simon is also joined in this Great Tragedy - our Profound Blessing of Life Forever, God's Overwhelming Transcendence - a Father's Grief turned into Victory in Jesus - by another Joseph. Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. In the place of a Father. This simply might have been more than Joseph could have born having worked his life dreams becoming saving this spectacular child.


Job has stood in the same ground of losing so many people in his life - all his children - and found breathing assures him of God.

The Breathe of our lungs is a gift of God. The circumstances in our lives - God's Plan.


The Scriptures present to us - the nitty gritty of life. We don't have to run from life. Or avoid looking at scenarios of Life because - God is with us. We can look to see what Jesus called "Rising" and "Overcoming." We will look at some of the more nitty gritty parts of Fatherhood. God has given all of us Foster Families. The History of Kings and Chronicles, Genesis and  all the Scriptures are our Family Stories. This is were our Father tells us the basics of the Light of Life - all to learn Life, Love, Joy, Perseverance, Dignity created by being a Child of God.

When we read God of Love, God of Encouragement - we find we are given Simeon explaining Life.

1 Corinthians 13 explains - Love does not end. Joseph had remarkable Love for Jesus Christ.

Abba, our Father God,

We give You Thanks for Life. Our Father, You give Life.

The Blessings of those we Love and their lives. For Jesus as our Savior.

We thank You for the encouragement of those who overcome daily, giving Love. Thank You for Your Life giving Word. I remember my Grandmothers holding on to You. I remember my father, my Daddy, inspired by You. The Blessings of knowing the work of faith.

What would Jesus have us Pray? With hope, in all our prayers, for More Heaven upon earth and God's Good Will.

For all of us, so high, so far, so deep, so wide - is our Father's Love to fill our Nation trusting in Him.

Your Gift to me, Christ dwell in my hearts through faith. Being rooted and grounded in love, with power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of Our Father's love,

Know the love of Christ surpassing knowledge, that all the Children of God all over Father God's Good Creation, may be filled with all the fullness of Jesus Christ God's Son.

We are praying for our friend numbered among the Greatest - healed of cancer all his long life. For this little boy to have all the use and function of his arm. To have the doctor healed and well.

We look to Jesus and see Your Compassion and Help. 

AMEN JESUS CHRIST, AMEN.

Today. The work God-given is to believe in Jesus Christ.
