Jesus said … "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.
Fearless Leviathan – Almighty God
Job chapter 41
Romans 8v28
But sometimes as faithful Christians we might not see how all things are working for good for us! We might even wonder if they are!
Job was a righteous man (Job 1:1,8; 2:3) and he had great trouble understanding how God was working in his life.
God answered Job in a way that Job probably wasn’t expecting, but in a way that was exceedingly wise
(cf. Ps. 147:5)
Job 28:1-11 Job describes the exploits of miners over 3½ thousand years ago (probably)
Job 28:12-22 Even though people have been successful in mining precious metals and precious stones from the earth (recall Job 28:1-11), they have not been successful on their own in discovering what according to Job in Job 28:12?
Job 28:23-28 Don’t despair! How are the questions asked in Job 28:12,20 answered in Job 28:23?
How do we react when things don’t go as planned?
Perhaps you have economic, family or health concerns?
Do we live our lives with words of defeat (like Job’s wife, the sons of Israel, the one talent man, Felix)?
Or do we live our lives with words of victory (like Job, King Hezekiah, Queen Esther, the apostle Paul)?
