I know you have heard the cliche God can do anything but fail. Nevertheless, at this time, I just want you to sit back. Close your eyes and listen to Sister Albertina Walker put those words to music. Click the title below and be blessed.

God’s Attribute: He Can Do Anything But Fail

Now, I want you to read an imaginary conversation. It is between the Bible characters James, brother of Jesus and Job. Job is forlorn and depressed. He feels pitifully sad and abandoned. James is attempting to comfort him.

Jas. 1:2 My brethern, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.

“Job, do you recall when Eliphaz said, Happy is the man whom God correcth: therefore, you should not despise the chastening of the Almighty. (5:17)

Jas. 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

“Well, Eliphaz said that because after your calamity came upon you, you declared that you wished you were dead for you said, “there the wicked cease from trembling and the weary be at rest.” (3:17)

Jas. 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

“But from the very beginning, Job, you kept declaring how righteous you were and that there was no profit to be gained if you were cleansed from your sin. (35:3)

“I was right there when you said, “though he slay me, yet will I serve him BUT I will maintain my own ways before him. (13:15)

Jas. 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

“Honestly, Job, you shouldn’t have added that last part about maintaining your own ways, for you hath spoken without knowledge and your words were without wisdom. (34:35)

Jas. 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

“Our TRUE friend Elihu suggested the manner in which you should have prayed, remember….Surely it is meet to be said of God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more; that which I see not teach me: if I have done eniquity, I will do no more. (34:31, 32)

Jas. 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to him that love him.

“Job, stop that desiring the night and endure: For people that are in darkness are cut off. Shhhhh, lest God should come and take thee away with his stroke. Then a Great Ransom (Jesus) cannot deliver thee and you wont receive the crown of life (36:20, 18)

Jas. 1:19 Wherefore my brethern, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Oh, good, Job. You’ve calmed down. You’ve repented to God by saying…Behold I am vile; what shall I answer thee: I will lay my hand upon my mouth. (40:4

Jas. 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word which is able to save your souls.

“Then Job said, I admit, God, that I was naughty but now I know with asurety that thou canst do everything and that no thought can be withholden from thee. (42:2)

“Furthermore, I receive with all meekness the engrafted word. For my own words were hollow and without knowledge and understanding….babblings on and on about things too wonderful for me which I knew not. (42:3)

Jas. 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

“Oh, Job, how wonderful our God is!!! For after you repented in dust and ashes and bridleth your tongue and harnessed your deceitful thoughts (Job’s three friends), God forgave you and restored unto you twice as much as you had before, thus blessing you and restored unto you twice as much as you had before, thus blessing you more in the latter days of your life than in the beginning . (42:10)

And Job and his family lived happily everafter. Amen and Amen!
