Job 42:1-6
After Job's response of silence in the last chapter, he finally spoke. Humility was the essence of what he said.
- First, he acknowledged that God can do all things(creation as well as the establish man's ways).
- He acknowledged that none of His purposes could be thwarted.
- He acknowledged that he spoke without understanding and knowledge.
- He postured himself as the listener, ready to hear and learn.
- He despised himself.
- He repented in dust and ashes, the lowest possible place.
In this complete attitude of humility and submission, Job sought God. God's responded with blessing, more blessing than his former days. What an example of a man who endured to the end! How do I handle trouble, adversity, and suffering? Am I whining or questioning? Am I trusting the hand of God and His unwavering purposes?
Father,
Build my trust in You to be as strong and unbending as Your purposes.
In Jesus name,
Amen
