No one is ferocious enough to rouse Leviathan; who then can stand against me? (Job 41:10 CSB) What’s a Leviathan? Most scholars believe a Leviathan is a crocodile or perhaps a sea creature that has become extinct. For me, I imagine Godzilla with his skin of armor-like substance. Whichever it...

Then Job answered the Lord:  ”I am so insignificant. How can I answer you? I place my hand on my mouth.” (Job 40:3-4 CSB) Faced with the fierceness and awesomeness of the Lord God Almighty, Job answers wisely. When we begin to understand the greatness of God, who are we to...

Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread its wings to the south? (Job 39:26 CSB) As we read through the different examples of God declaring what He has created and controls, we could stop at any given verse and spend a few moments in awe. For example, God...

Can you send out lightning bolts, and they go? Do they report to you, “Here we are?” (Job 38:35 CSB)  Can you imagine what it would be like if, unexpectedly, the Lord decided to speak to us? That’s what happened to Job as the Almighty Lord begins to question him....

My heart pounds at this and leaps from my chest (Job 37:1 CSB). Elihu knew God, and he tries to put into words how excited he becomes when he hears God’s “majestic voice.” God is awesome! Eihu's friend, Job, knew it too, but needed to be reminded of it. When...

Such wonderful truths in this chapter, but Elihu takes them out of context by falsely assuming that Job’s sin caused him to experience pain and suffering. These words are true, and by themselves resonate...

People cry out because of severe oppression; they shout for help because of the power of the mighty.  But no one asks, “Where is God my Maker, who provides us with songs in the night?” (Job 35:9-10a CSB) Elihu goes on to say how easy it is to cry to God when...

Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding. It is impossible for God to do wrong and for the Almighty to act unjustly (Job 34:10 CSB). Job saw himself as an upright man and questioned why God allowed him to suffer. Elihu responded by essentially saying…”Wait a minute, God was...

He will pray to God, and God will delight in him. That person will see his face with a shout of joy, and God will restore his righteousness to him (Job 33:26 CSB). In this passage we get a glimpse into the prayer closet of an individual who is repenting to...

But it is the spirit in a person - the breath from the Almighty - that gives anyone understanding (Job 32:8 CSB). We cannot know and understand anything without God. Even unbelievers receive gifts from God -- they just don’t know that these gifts are from Him. Do you walk...
