Devotion 1 of 2: Job 23
I think I missed yesterday's devotions! I'm so sorry! I thought I sent the questions out, but I didn't! I apologize! These are the questions and answers for Thu, 2/17. Job 23 question: What frustration does Job express here that is a common frustration for us even today?
Job 23 answer: Job expresses his frustration about seeking God for answers as to why he is suffering so many trials, but he gets no response. Many believers today go through times like this, when God doesn’t seem to answer our questions right away. But eventually he does, so we must have patience!

Devotion 2 of 2: Matt 23
Matt 23 question: In v.8, Jesus commands us not to be called “Rabbi” (NIV). In English, we don’t have a problem with this, but in Japanese, “Rabbi” is translated “Sensei.” In the Japanese church, pastors are called “Sensei,” so there is a problem. What is your opinion, should we stop calling pastors “Sensei?”
Matt 23 answer: The KJV translates v.8 this way: “But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.” I think this illustrates the essence of what Jesus is saying. By being called “Sensei,” if we think we are like a master, and believers should obey and serve us, then we should not be called “Sensei.” This was the attitude of the Pharisees (v.1-7). But if our attitude is to serve the believers and lift them up by teaching the Bible, then I think it’s all right to be called “Sensei.” If we don’t use the word, “Sensei,” then we would have a difficult time in school in talking to our teacher.
