Our scripture for the Daily Devotional today is taken from Job 38:1-11. We live in a world where sin causes us to stare at God and refute His power and might. Like kids that are too big for their boots, our arrogance convinces us that we have more power than we truly do have.
Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:
2 “Who is this that obscures my plans
with words without knowledge?
3 Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.

4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone—
7 while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?
8 “Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
9 when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10 when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
11 when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt’?
Where were you?
The greatest question in scripture I believe. God asked Job where he was when He laid the foundation of the earth. Like Job, none of us were there and non of us used our words to command the creation of the heavens and earth.
Forgetting that our lives are like a vapor, here today and gone tomorrow, we ignorantly believe that we know better. There is nothing that Jesus can do, but there is a myriad of things that I can not do. I am helpless beside the grace and mercy of my Father.
When we accept the boundaries and protection on offer from the Lord of all, we have the opportunity to be safe. Let us consider how small and powerless we are in comparison to God and rest in the blood of Jesus and all that He has promised us.
Let’s Pray
Dear Father,
Thank you Father that You commanded the start and end of the universe. Your power is immeasurable and as I place my faith in You, I know that there is non like You!
In Jesus’s Name,
