As we’ve been reading book of Job for the past few weeks, we’ve seen into Job’s heart as he’s struggled through some of the worst tragedy that could strike a person.
- Loss of family
- Loss of his wealth
- Loss of health
- Spouse tells him to curse God and die
- Friends confused about what is happening around him
I can only imagine how difficult this must be. Job’s friend Elihu is defending God’s honor and ways to Job in this chapter (v. 2-3). While doing so, Elihu reminds us of the greatness of our God. Allow God’s Word to encourage you today:
- God is mighty (v.5a) – He’s mighty in power and understanding (v.5)
- God is fair (v.5b) – He does not despise anyone
- God is just (v.6)
- God cares for the innocent (v.7)
- God convicts the sinning Christian and leads them to repentance (v.8-12)
- God cares for the suffering (v.15)
- God is wise (v.22b)
- God is Sovereign (v.23)
- God is greater than we can understand (v.26a)
- God is infinite – He’s outside of time and space (v.26b)
- God cares for the earth (v.27-33)
Take a moment and recognize the majesty of God today. Realize that God is God and you aren’t. Enjoy that. Honor Him as Lord in your life today.
