Old Testament Reading - God's answer to Job
381Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:
2“Why are you using your ignorance to deny my providence? 3Now get ready to fight, for I am going to demand some answers from you, and you must reply.
4“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much. 5 Do you know how its dimensions were determined, and who did the surveying? 6-7What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstone as the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?
40 1The Lord went on:
2“Do you still want to argue with the Almighty? Or will you yield? Do you — God’s critic—have the answers?”
3Then Job replied to God:
4“I am nothing — how could I ever find the answers? I lay my hand upon my mouth in silence. 5 I have said too much already.”
6Then the Lord spoke to Job again from the whirlwind:
7“Stand up like a man and brace yourself for battle. Let me ask you a question, and give me the answer. 8Are you going to discredit my justice and condemn me so that you can say you are right?
41 11I owe no one anything. Everything under the heaven is mine.
. . . . .Job 38:1-7; 40:1-8; 41:11.Intercession
Please remember our Prayer Requests
Lord, sadly there are many today that look at the suffering and pain in the world
And become your critics as did Job,
Blaming you for the effects of sin and the bad choices of man,
They are sinners, yet they dare to critize You,
I thank you that you are are God of Justice
But also that you are a God of compassion and mercy.
Today I pray that they truly come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior;
Help us accept Your judgements in our lives;
Help us accept Your methods of building us up;
that we may grow more like Jesus each day;
and that we will see God’s hand of love in our life in difficult times.
Amen.
