Though written hundred of years apart, the books of Daniel and Revelation are counterparts and should be studied together for a more comprehensive picture of God’s redemptive plan, the future of the world, God’s victory over evil at the end of the world and a glimpse into the new heaven and new earth.

King Solomon exercised his immense wisdom, and the nation of Israel experienced tremendous peace and prosperity.

To better understand the Book of Job, we’ll take this week to fast-forward to the very last chapter where God provides a surprising but often overlooked insight into its over-arching message. The Book of Job is not about suffering; that’s just the context. It is really about the character and nature of God Almighty.

Today, we study Mark 4:1-20 as Jesus tells a parable and then gives us an explanation. In this parable, Jesus sows the seed (the Word of God) and we discover if we have the heart soil to hear and see the Word of God and then put it into practice so it can grow deep roots into our lives.

A disciple of Jesus must be immersed in the Word of God consistently in order to learn His ways. But without the help of the Holy Spirit and our obedience to what God says, this task is of little benefit.

Solomon faces the immense task of leading the nation. At times he chooses the path of worldly wisdom and at times he chooses the path of godly wisdom.
