Days that Speak to Us
Sammy Burgess
Psalm 90:9,10,12; Job 32:7
INTRODUCTION:
We find in the Book of Job a young man by the name Elihu speaking. Even though Elihu was a young man, as you read his words, he had great insight and great wisdom. He said; "Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom."
Now our 'days' have a word for us. Our 'days' have a message for us; and I believe that our 'days' are a sermon for those who have ears to hear.
As you read the Book of Job, you will find that is has much to say about our 'days'.
(Job 8:9) says "our days upon earth are a shadow"

1)- The Day That Is Behind Us! (Yesterday)
It says; "Learn from me"
Listen to (Job 8:9)- "For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing because our days upon the earth are a shadow."
When we think about Yesterday, we are thinking about the day that we just came through. It is a day that we will never see again. We cannot relive it. (Yesterday says; "Learn from me".) There are some things that we can learn from yesterday.
a)- We Can Learn From Our Mistakes
If we were honest with ourselves, we would admit and confess that we have made some mistakes in the past. We may not like to acknowledge it, but as we look back to our yesterday, we can think of our mistakes that we ...
