Job 37:14 “Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God’s wonders.”
I find myself wondering that this book is still going. Why? Job sat in utter misery for chapters and chapters. His friends comforted him, counseled him, and lectured him for chapters and chapters. Now this young upstart, Elihu, has been going for chapters and chapters. God hasn’t appeared. Nothing has changed. Why?
Job 37:15 “Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightening flash?”
My other scripture reading this morning took me to Daniel 3. The verses that struck me as particularly relevant were Daniel 3:17-18: “…our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not….”
Job 37:23 “The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in His justice and great righteousness, He does not oppress.”
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for the reminder that You can and will deliver us, but if not…. if not…. even if we don’t understand, even if we can’t comprehend, even then, You are still sovereign, still loving, still compassionate and merciful. Even then. Draw us closer. Amen.
Job 37:24 “Therefore, people revere Him, for does He not have regard for all the wise in heart?”
Have a blessed day.
