🍞 Job 18

Job 18 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels.” Job 18 opens with these words: “Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,” The line to keep is Job 18:5: ““Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.” Carry the word “light” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Job 18:5: ““Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Job 18? Then try this: Read ““Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
