7 January -Harry back in London, date People reports that they broke up. Reports Scott swift told them to slow down.
9 January - photos of Harry in Richard Bransons hot hub on front page after the break up. (I often wonder what the less famous people think now that they treated him poorly as a kid and he is massive now). Gordon Smart (1:12, warning he follows it with a bad anecdote about 18 year old H), who worked on media for One Direction, said in 2020 that Harry had said:
"Simon Cowell actually paid me to do some media training with them back in the day so I met them before they were massive and they were again really lovely kids. [...] I wrote a front page story about him sharing a jacuzzi with a girl on holiday and he told me it was bollocks and we still ran it, because we had a picture of him in the jacuzzi. It was probably totally innocuous and I really I'd like to apologize unreservedly to Harry for that because it was an error of judgment on my part and it probably tarnished our friendship."

December Wrap Up
Good riddance, 2022. I wish you all a happy and kind new year.
Books Read: 9
I’m happy I went out on a high note with reading. Despite the rather unpleasant reread of Gender Trouble, everything I read this month was good (which is because I mostly reread things I already knew I liked). I’m not a huge fan of Shelley’s poetry, but it wasn’t painful or anything. And I discovered that I actually do like Virginia Woolf. I don’t know what my problem was the last time I read Mrs. Dalloway, but this time I loved it! 
The Ordinary Princess by M. M. Kaye - 5 stars ®
Selected Poems by Percy Bysshe Shelley - 3 stars
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley - 4 stars ®
Gender Trouble by Judith Butler - 2 stars ®
Thelma by Marie Corelli - 4 stars
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Other Poems by Samuel Taylor Coleridge - 4 stars
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf - 4.5 stars ®
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys - 4 stars ®
Arcadia by Tom Stoppard - 5 stars ®

Movies & TV of 2022 List
Here’s my list of what I watched this year! I may have left some stuff out, especially in the TV department, because I’m not always good at remembering to add stuff to The List.

When Malfoy Met Granger...
Summary: “Wizards and witches can’t be friends, because sex always gets in the way.” Draco regarded her with a secret smile.
“I suppose it’s just as well, then, that we’ll never be friends.”
In 1998 Hermione and Draco share a contentious train ride back to Hogwarts for eighth year, during which they argue about whether men and women can have strictly platonic friendships. They part ways, but then find themselves meeting several times in the years after school, putting their theories from that first day to the ultimate test.

My top 5 LEAST popular fics
Thanks for the tag @the-francakes! I love this idea. taking a moment to highlight my 5 least popular fics, because they deserve just as much love as the rest of my works. Funnily enough, I like these 5 so much more than the top 5 most popular fics. Why is that?
From Sunset to Star Rise (7.5 k, OS): Ron x Harry. Ron and Harry move to New England to get away from the aftermath of war, buy a cozy cabin in the woods, and fall in love under the stars of an autumn sky. Rating: M
In for a Knut, In for a Galleon (30k, COMPLETE): Hermione is in trouble, and Draco has a wild idea that will keep them both safe. A murder, a marriage... and a happily ever after? Gossip columnist Watching Witch is on the case... Written for the “You Know You Love Me” Gossip Girl prompt fest 2022. Rating: M
Lost at Sea (4k, OS): Ron x Harry. Harry is helplessly in love with Ron Weasley, has to watch him marry Hermione and start a family with her, all while Harry spirals into madness, getting with the other Weasleys in order to dull the pain. Will Ron ever choose Harry? Rating: E
Inheritance (14k, OS): Draco Malfoy inherits 12 Grimmauld Place when Harry unexpectedly passes away, but there’s a catch; He has to let Hermione Granger stay. Rating: M
What the Portraits Saw (4k, OS):**Embedded with art by Hero//regretful-prince** Portraits are meant to be seen and not heard, or so you've been led to believe. Verity the Virgin is merely the portrait of a simple girl painted into an unimaginative pastoral scene. Her world is upended when she catches a mysterious thief trying to make off with some Malfoy family valuables. Written for the Double the Trouble Dramione Fest 2022. Rating: M
Tagging @sodamnradd, @pia-bartolini, @niffizzle, @peachpety, @wickermayne if you want to share some of your less-loved but no less deserving fics! No pressure to participate, but it’s there for the taking.

Dear Hermione
Tumblr media
Read here on AO3
Summary: Hermione Granger was the one Draco felt he’d wronged the most, and his mind-healer reminded him weekly that a reconciliation with her may be the key to moving forward. Weeks passed, and although Draco kept returning to the scribbled on and scratched out lines of failed apologies, he couldn’t put to words the things he needed to say. So, he didn’t. But maybe he would try again tomorrow...
Hermione and Draco return to Hogwarts after the war and become friends, but the lack of apology weighs on both of them, and Draco finds himself falling in love even as he struggles with reconciliation.

Russian and Chinese bombers carry out joint patrols and trigger South Korean and Japanese jets
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/01/2022 - 13:00 in Military, War Zones
Russian and Chinese strategic bombers, including the Chinese long-range Tupolev Tu-95 "Bear" and H-6, conducted joint patrols over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on November 30. South Korean and Japanese fighters were activated to accompany the bombers.
The South Korean military previously said they mobilized fighters when two Chinese and six Russian warplanes entered their air defense zone.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said that "at certain stages of the route, the strategic missile carriers were accompanied by fighters from foreign countries". The Tu-95 were escorted on the route by Su-35 fighters.
Tumblr media
“An air group composed of strategic missile carriers Tu-95MC of the Russian Aerospace Forces and strategic bombers XIAN H-6K of the PLA Air Force carried out air patrols over the waters of the seas of Japan and East China,” the ministry said.
Tumblr media
He said that Russian and Chinese aircraft “act strictly in accordance with the provisions of international law” and that no foreign airspace has been violated.

“For the first time in the history of air patrolling, Russian aircraft landed at an airfield in the People's Republic of China and Chinese planes landed at an airfield in the territory of the Russian Federation,” the ministry said.
Tumblr media
The Chinese Ministry of Defense described Wednesday's patrols as part of the "routine" of an annual cooperation plan between the two military personnel. Chinese and Russian bombers carried out joint patrols in the same area in 2019, 2020, 2021 and in May of this year, when President Joe Biden met in Japan with leaders of Quad, a multilateral grouping seen as an effort to contain China's growing influence.
Tumblr media
The Tupolev Tu-95, known by NATO as "Bear", along with the Tu-160, is the backbone of Russia's long-range airborne nuclear forces. It was designed to launch nuclear bombs in the United States in the Cold War.

It has been one year. No, it's been several years. That was what the faceless blonde in her dreams had said.
Dr. Rosenbräig had to repeat this to herself.
The memories of her marriage were real, her having a whirlwind romance and then marriage: that was real. Her being a widower of a faceless man and then a vilomah of a mere toddler; that was also real.
Her meeting Antonio when she had went on vacation - was it a beach? Where was this beach? - was also real.
She knew that he once worked in the business sector but was also a soldier before that - though, the Vigilante left this vague on purpose when implanting memories for the human. He has a sister or a brother or both - again, vague. But, real.
And now they moved to the country with a shed with wireless lights. That was real.

And she was pregnant - that she knew was real. So, why was she having these--

How to Handle a Nico - Side Story: Legend of Honoka
Primary Pairing: TsubaHono Rating: G Words: 542 Fandom: Love Live Parent Fic: How to Handle a Nico Time Frame: November 24th, 2016 Event: Promptober 2022 Event Source: Idol Fanfic Heaven channel on Discord Prompt: Legacy
---------
Author’s Note: Primary entry for Oct 30th
Summary: Honoka appears as a guest for A-RISE
---------
“And now,” Tsubasa said as the cheers began to fade, “we have a surprise for everyone tonight. A special guest that needs no introduction.” But I’m going to anyway because I love her and want to sing her praises. She added silently. “A legend among school idols, whose legacy continues to inspire more generations of school idols. Especially at her old alma mater, which remains open to this day, thanks in no small part to her efforts.”
Light blades in the audience were already changing color. They knew. And that pleased Tsubasa greatly.
“Everyone, please give a warm welcome to Kousaka Honoka!”
Cheers erupted from the audience and those that hadn’t already, changed their blades to complete the sea of orange across the stadium.
Tsubasa turned to see pretty much what she expected, a blushing orange-haired young woman walking tentatively across the stage toward her.
“Mohhh… Tsubasa-chan.” Honoka practically pouted. “You didn’t have to build me up so much.”
By the gods, Tsubasa wanted to hug her. Kiss her. Proclaim to the audience, and the world at large, that she had the privilege, nay the honor, of dating someone as wonderful as Honoka.
But that could cause a scandal that would mean trouble for the professional careers of A-RISE. And while she wasn’t particularly worried for herself, as the group’s leader, she did worry about Anju and Erena. Despite the fact that both had assured her that whatever happened concerning her relationship with Honoka, happened.
Their support had been an absolute boon for Tsubasa, although she knew some of it came from the fact that they were themselves hiding their own relationship from the public. And their production company.
“Nonsense.” Tsubasa replied. “Everyone is excited to see you. Look!” She swept an arm out to indicate everyone gathered in the audience. “We’re excited to see you.”
Honoka glanced at the other two idols on stage.
Anju smiled. “Of course we are. We even wrote this song with Honoka-chan in mind.”
Erena nodded. “It’s been a long time coming that we finally get to share the stage with you.”
Tsbasa held out a hand to her girlfriend, shoving aside any further concerns about interacting with her in such a way.
This all may have been a surprise for the audience, but it was still a planned event. The higher ups at the production company had known about it since the beginning. Everyone involved knew full well that Honoka retained an avid fanbase, even after having retired as a school idol months ago. And the bond between A-RISE and µ’s was also well known.
The group had already collaborated with Nico, the only µ’s member to continue on as a professional idol. But the desire to invite Honoka back to the stage had been strong enough that fans even asked about it on the forums with surprising frequency.
Well, maybe not all that surprising.
“Come, sing with us, Honoka.” Tsubasa resisted the habit of using the casual honorific she reserved for when they were out of the public eye.
Finally, Honoka smiled and accepted Tsubasa’s hand to be led to their starting positions.
Anju and Erena flanked the couple. The music started. Opening moves and poses were performed. And the four began to sing.
---------
Author’s Note Continued: I so very much need to write more TubaHonk.

Wave Race 64
Tumblr media Tumblr media
JP release: 27th September 1996
NA release: 4th November 1996
PAL release: 29th April 1997
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
N64 Magazine Score: 90%
Tumblr media
It took a few months for the Nintendo 64 for a new game, and when it game it met with glowing reviews. I do remember playing this slightly as a kid, and distinctly remember having a lot of trouble with it due to being awful at it. However, it was only short goes as it was a friend’s copy of the game.
Wave Race 64 is a jet ski racing game. Not only do you have to complete the circuits, but you have to pass buy buoys on the correct side. Miss one and you’ll lose some power, miss five and you’ll fail that race.
Tumblr media
Just a quick note about widescreen screenshots: some emulators can try to expand the view of games to work in widescreen, but a lot of games have issues with this. A few games have unofficial widescreen patches and some have action replay codes to make it run in widescreen. A very small amount of N64 games have widescreen support built in. For Wave Race, extending the view worked a charm, and the game looks great.
Tumblr media
It’s difficult to get across the look of Wave Race in screenshots – the ocean and how it moves is the main impressive part of the game. The ocean moves in a realistic way and it still stands out as water in games is still not easy to do today – to the point that it’s really games that are entirely focused on water that have proper wave simulation (games like Sea of Thieves). The water is also not just for looks – it affects the movement of your jet ski and you’ll have to work out how to race using them to your advantage.
Tumblr media
The levels in Wave Race also manage to feel distinctive, which is not an easy task for water based games. While I’ve just praised the waves a lot, one stand out level is Drake Lake – which doesn’t have waves. The level starts off foggy but clears up as you progress, with the lake having a silvery reflective surface. There’s something really beautiful about this level, even today.
Tumblr media
Another very memorable one is Southern Lake. In this level, the tide is going out. Each lap, the obstacles will be different due to the level of the water. A big pier blocks the way on the first lap, but you can zoom through its supports on later laps. Unfortunately, the game only has 8 courses (plus a bonus training course)
Tumblr media
There are three main difficulties in Wave Race, however the difficulty doesn’t just alter the enemy racers. Instead, the locations of the buoys are different, making navigating the levels much more difficult. You need to truly master the waves to succeed at the game and your reward is reverse mode, where you race across the tracks backwards, which makes the levels feel a lot different.
Tumblr media
Outside of the main championship mode, Wave Race offers time trial and a stunt mode. You can set your own high stores in the stunt mode as you have to make it to the next checkpoint while hitting rings and performing tricks. The other main move is a 2 player race.
Wave Race 64 doesn’t contain a lot of stuff, but there’s so much detail in what it does do that it makes up for it. It’s a really fun game that rewards skill and offers a significant challenge. Wave Race got a sequel on the GameCube, but there’s nothing out now that’s quite the same.
In one respect, Wave Race parallels the ground-breaking brilliance of Super Mario 64 in a way that Mario Kart 64 doesn’t
- Zy Nicholson, N64 Magazine #2
Remake or Remaster?
Wave Race: Blue Storm has been accused of being too much like a remake, so a new game would be a better option.v
Official Ways to get the game
There is no way to buy a new copy of Wave Race 64, the only official way to play is to rent it via the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pak.
Re-releases
1997: Wave Race 64 Rumble Pak version (Japan only)
2007: Wii Virtual Console (this replaced the Kawasaki banners with Wii and DS logos)
2016: Wii U Version Console (this had the original graphics)
2022: Nintendo Switch Online (subscription only)

Disasters at sea trigger ship-safety advances
Tumblr media
- By Tom Cassauwers , Horizon -
When one of the world’s largest container ships crashed into the bank of the Suez Canal in 2021, a major gateway for global trade became blocked with an estimated $9.6 billion in daily commerce being held up.
Accidents like the one involving the Ever Given almost three years ago are more common than might generally be thought. They also help explain the motivation behind EU research projects to improve shipping safety. 
Ship shockwaves
In 2022, 10 cargo vessels were lost at sea, according to global insurer Allianz. Shipping transports 90% of the world’s goods.
‘Anyone reading this will, for example, be wearing something that was at one point transported by a ship,’ said Jorgen Grindevoll, chief executive officer of Ladar, a UK company developing collision-avoidance technology for vessels and marine infrastructures.
Maritime accidents can send shockwaves across the globe by hindering trade, damaging the environment and endangering lives.
‘When ships run into trouble, it can be very disruptive,’ said Grindevoll, who is also a sea captain. 
He was part of a research project that received EU funding to develop a lookout that never sleeps: sensor technology to reduce the risk of ships colliding with other vessels or objects floating in the water.
Called MARINA, the project is wrapping up after almost three years. Its participants have included Ladar, Cypriot shipping-technology developer Offshore Monitoring – also the project coordinator – Norwegian sensor-technology company Hjelmstad and UK-based Global Maritime Services, with captains and navigators from the sector represented. 
The researchers looked at serious ship mishaps and found that almost half involved collisions and that, of those, 59% occurred as a result of human error, according to Jena Dover, business development manager at Global Maritime Services. 
‘This shows how important this problem is,’ said Dover. 
Surface scanners
MARINA’s lasers, high-definition cameras and thermal imaging scan for floating obstacles such as containers, timber, sailboats and fishing gear, helping onboard navigators detect possible threats on the water surface – their main blindspot. 
An artificial-intelligence algorithm can automatically detect, recognise and track objects and then alert crew to any potential threat. That’s beyond the ability of existing best-available technology on the market.
‘A ship can already scan underwater using sonar and above water using radar,’ said Grindevoll. ‘But around the surface there’s a sensor gap. That’s what we’re addressing.’
Flood focus
But if the worst does happen and a ship is struck, damage limitation is crucial to save lives and equipment. 
This is what another EU-funded project sought to do. Called FLARE, the project ran for three and a half years through November 2022 and came up with design improvements to limit damage from flooding in stricken vessels. 
‘There’s still a number of areas where our designs and procedures could be safer,’ said Dr Stephan Wurst, managing partner at Germany-based BALance Technology Consulting, which led the project.
For instance, damage from groundings – when a ship’s hull hits the sea bottom – can be catastrophic.
In 2012, a cruise ship called the Costa Concordia ventured too close to the Italian island of Giglio and struck rocks. The accident led to the deaths of 32 people, the partial sinking of the vessel and a €1.5 billion salvage operation.
‘We looked at better design principles that can prevent water from entering everywhere, but also how to improve evacuation and safety procedures,’ said Wurst.
Computer simulations of how ships sink as well as the simulated sinking of model boats in a controlled environment helped the researchers pinpoint where these improvements need to be made.
A detailed list of the project’s recommendations has been presented to the International Maritime Organization, the governing body for the shipping industry. 
They range from blocking water in a ship with watertight doors and barriers in the hull to fixing holes with foam, according to Wurst.
Ripple effects
While the proposals are still being evaluated by the IMO, the project’s participants including the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland and UK-based cruise line operator Carnival are applying the knowledge gained in their new vessels.
‘This isn’t just theoretical research we did,’ said Wurst. ‘The lessons we learned here might actually save lives.’
In the meantime, the surface-scanning technology developed by MARINA is close to being commercialised. Grindevoll expects it to be market-ready by early 2024. 
He said the technology may have uses beyond preventing ship collisions, such as on crewless vessels and surveillance of offshore installations like wind turbines.
‘We have realised our technology can also be used in other areas,’ Grindevoll said. 
Research in this article was funded by the EU. The views of the interviewees don’t necessarily reflect those of the European Commission.

America First Is Everyone Else Last
— James Smith | December 24, 2022
Tumblr media
Illustration: Liu Rui/Global Times
The US is pursuing a global campaign to try and contain the rise of China. To do so, the Joe Biden administration has sought to enlist allies and has significantly pushed for transatlantic cooperation. Because of the war in Ukraine, Washington has been able to place growing pressure on European countries to enlist in anti-China goals, particularly through institutions such as NATO.
While such requests have been relatively easy for vassal states such as the UK to follow the US' demands, as a whole the countries of the EU have been more hesitant in signing up to Washington's agenda, even as certain institutional leaders as such as European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyden increasingly parrot such rhetoric. Perhaps clearer among American goals is the demand that Europe also follows the US in "strategic decoupling" against China and reinforcing its ever growing embargo of high end technologies to the country.
Should Europe follow suit with such decoupling? And is it in the European interest to do so? The answer could not be more clear than European leaders themselves, with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz having made a publicized visit to Beijing in November, who was soon followed by President of the European Council Charles Michel. The messages of both of these leaders were identical, and very clear, that the "decoupling" pushed by the US, and the forced revision of the international order into a Cold War style confrontation, is not in the interests of Europe.
But the US does not show much interest in listening. Recent news articles detail its attempt to coerce the Netherland's world class and leading Lithography firm, ASML, to follow US rules and ban the export of machines which make chips under 14nm nodes to China, to make recent sanctions it imposed ironclad. The firm's executives have always been very outspoken about this coercive behaviour from the US, pointing out that China is one of their largest markets and such sanctions will not only deprive the company of that, but also accelerate China's resolve to develop the technology themselves and impose long-term damage on the company.
But this is only one small aspect as to how the push for "decoupling", or what we might call "strategic centralization" is hurting Europe. The current foreign policy strategy of the US has grown to reject globalization as it now believes it creates an international environment of which dilutes and undermines American power by strengthening "competitor" states. As such, one of American key foreign policy goals, which began with Donald Trump, has been to instigate geopolitical conflict to recentralize US power over its allies and force them to decouple from economic engagement with these states, in particular, Russia and China, aiming to fill the gap with itself.
Tumblr media
Harris eyes to stir up trouble in South China Sea with Philippines visit | Vitaly Podvitski | November 24, 2022
Concerning the Ukraine war, the US has pushed European countries to end their energy relationships with Russia, instead selling them its own liquid natural gas products at much higher prices, while also ensuring its Military-Industrial complex profits from the growing arms sales and security realignment. But more so has been the fact that surging energy prices throughout the continent has taken a grave toll against industrial productivity and led to a phenomenon which many commentators have described as "de-industrialization," that is the erosion of Europe's own business and industrial capacity by promoting the US as a more beneficial destination.
Several acts of the US congress recent passed, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, have made this trend worse by initiating in large scale protectionist subsidies which further hurt European competitiveness. The Biden administration has long stated that its goal is to realign strategic supply chains into the US, as it is doing with semiconductors, and this comes at the logical expense of allies being "hollowed out". As another example, outside of Europe, what will the massive US investment in domestic chip capacity do to chip-making hubs such as Taiwan island, South Korea and Japan? This is what "decoupling" looks like, and allied states are set to be the biggest losers of this policy because it is initiating an "America First" economic order.
Given this, allied countries should think twice about following the foreign policies of the US when it comes to so-called decoupling, especially in the case of Europe. The US does not see the continent as an equal partner in the sense of a multipolar world, but sees only a US led unipolar world whereby Europe is a follower, a passenger and a subordinate. The Biden administration's policies throughout this year have been damaging to European security, growth and prosperity across the board, threatening the very concept the EU professes to hold known as "strategic autonomy." A change of course is needed.

imagine if the credits for majora’s mask were tied to the actions you did in your last cycle
like instead of that everybody is happy celebrating the festival, if they were a specific set of cutscenes that each play depending on whether you did it before fighting majora or not
so like, if you didn’t defeat each temple boss you would see cutscenes from that region still in trouble like the deku with the monkey over the fire or the gorons all frozen, but if you did kill all the bosses in the last cycle you can see the regions happy like in the actual credits
and the same for important quests as well, grog could either be with his chicks or with grown cuccoos, pamela might be with her dad or she’d be on her own, you can only see anju and kafei’s wedding if you complete their quests then fight majora, if you don’t help romani defend the ranch she isn’t playing with her sister in the credits she’s just sat there
idk i just think it would be really neat if you finished the game and were suddenly hit by the realisation that that’s it, the cycles are over and your choices in that final go-through are how the characters will live the rest of their lives
and it would make you want to go back and play through again if you saw your favourite characters not having the happy ending they deserved

actually i think it should be a rule that if one of the Big Five are hosting there should be an extra semi finals slot that considers which non-qualifying song got the highest public vote across the two semis

ik that taako’s voice in the first episode was because justin was still figuring out his character but i like to imagine that before joining bob taako put on fake accents to avoid being recognised, since he was wanted for the whole poisoning incident, but also for the bit
and then kravitz changes accents mid-fight in crystal kingdom and then drops them during their date at the chug ‘n’ squeeze and taako’s like oh 😳 same hat 😳

Daily Devotionals for November 29, 2022
Proverbs: God's Wisdom for Daily Living Devotional Scripture: Proverbs 29:8-9 (KJV): 8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. 9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
Proverbs 29:8-9 (AMP): 8 Scoffers set a city afire (inflaming the minds of the people), but wise men turn away wrath. 9 If a wise man argues with a foolish man, the fool only rages or laughs, and there is no rest.   Thought for the Day
Verse 8 - A scornful person can incite people to take up a grievance will incite more people to take up the grievance and so on. This anger can even lead to the extreme of unruly mobs and anarchy. Scorners also incite contention in churches. One person takes offense at something and complains about it to other people, who then take up the offense and spread it to others. Instead of going to the pastor and praying about the problem, they fall into a snare of Satan and begin stirring up strife. People of wisdom should seek God as to how to neutralize a scorner's inflammatory words. Praying the scripture in faith over these kinds of situations can change and subdue angry crowds through God's power: "…Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people" (Psalm 65:7).
One of the first things we need to know about God is that He is the source of all good things. He loves us. The Scripture says He loved us so much He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for us so that we might have life and have it more abundantly. We should not believe in praising God for tragedies, for sickness, for bad things; yet we should believe in praising Him amid these circumstances. The bad things did not come from God and we don't want to blame the Lord for something the devil sent. Our God is not the author of sickness, sin, tragedies, sorrow, and heartache. The devil is the one who sends these things and then tries to get us to blame them on the Lord. God is on our side, and when we begin blaming God and murmuring against Him, we have fallen into the devil's trap. We invite the "destroyer" into our lives when we yield to the devil's temptation to accuse God of our troubles. This was the source of Job's problems until he saw the light and repented for uttering things he did not understand. Once Job repented of his self-righteousness and pride, then the Lord blessed and restored all things to him (Job 42:1-6).
Verse 9 - Because a foolish man's spiritual eyes are blinded, he cannot see the truth nor understand the viewpoint of those who walk in God's wisdom. When a godly man tries to explain the truth to a fool, he cannot be made to see reason, and the foolish man either rants or mocks. It is as 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 says: "But if our gospel is hidden, it is hidden to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which belief not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
Prayer for the Day Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for giving us Your wisdom. Lord, may I never blame You when the enemy is attacking me with something evil. Lord, please deliver me from any trace of murmuring and complaining when I am faced with trials in this life. May I instead put on the armor of God and use my faith to put the enemy to flight. May I always trust You to bring me victory over everything the enemy tries to defeat me with? I declare that he is a defeated foe and that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me in judgment, You shall prove to be wrong. I thank You for the victory in Jesus.
