Announcements
This
morning, we welcome Rasheed Akhtar back to North Collins. Mr. Akhtar is currently serving as ISI’s
South Asia Campus Minister. His
testimony and ministry among international students bears powerful witness to
God’s work in his life. Let’s give him
our full attention as he brings a message from God’s word.
The
Yoders return from their vacation tomorrow.
Be praying for safe travel as they travel back from Michigan. Contact Bruce Temple with any important

Making Sense
of Job
Notes on Job 24:1-25 : “The burden of this
section is found in its opening and closing words: “Why are times not laid up by the
Almighty? And why do those who know him
not see his days?” God does not, like
Samuel, have a regular circuit for preserving order and punishing crime. Cruel and greedy men prey unchecked upon the
helpless. Job voices the plaintive, “How
long?” for all those who are oppressed.
But God, in his inscrutable wisdom, allows the lives of the wicked to
attain full maturity and to end as other men’s lives end. Sure of his facts, Job issues his victory
challenge.”
M.G.
Kline, TNBC 478f.
