Read: Job 40:1-42:17; 2 Corinthians 5:11-21; Psalm 45:1-17; Proverbs 22:14
God spoke and asked Job one question and Job melted like wax and repented of thinking he knew anything. God continued to ask Job where he was when God created the heavens and the earth. He took Job through some of the intricate stages of creation blowing Job’s mind with details of his power. When he was finished, Job said that surely he spoke of things he did not understand because the things of God cannot be explained they are so wonderful. Job repented again and God humbled his friends and exalted Job in front of them. He had Job pray for them after they had offered sacrifices and apologized to Job.
Then God turned all of Job’s misfortune to fortune and blessed him doubly for everything he had lost. His three daughters were the most beautiful of the land and their names were mentioned. Job lived to see his grandchildren to the fourth generation. What a blessing!
Paul teaches the Corinthians that Christ died for everyone the same. It doesn’t matter who they are in the world’s eye because in God’s eye, they are all the same. We are Christ’s ambassadors inviting everyone to come to God’s table and receive salvation.
Lord, help us walk in humility and purpose. It is all for your glory!
