Sat.'’s Devo - God’s Answer

Read: Job 37:1-39:30; 2 Corinthians 4:13-5:10; Psalm 44:9-26; Proverbs 22:13 Elihu finished his speech with talking about how God speaks through the miracles of God in the heavens like thunder and lighting, rain and snow. He said that God makes these things happen either to punish people or show them his unfailing love. All who are wise show him reverence. *** Then God answered Job out of a whirlwind. He asked Job who it is that questioned him without knowing what he is talking about. Then God has some questions for Job. He asks him where he was when He laid the foundations of the earth. Then God goes through creation explaining how he did it. *** When God talked about the light he said that it disturbs the wicked and stops the arm that is about to do violence. Light expels darkness. *** God explained that he created the stars and the constellations to move through the seasons. The animals were made with different characteristics that magnify their creator. Everything God created was done with his great wisdom for his purposes. *** For this same reason, Paul talked about the resurrection. Everything God has done is for a great day of glory. God’s grace has led many to him and we will all share in a day of thanksgiving and praise. We are God’s glory on the earth. Our bodies might be dying but our spirits are renewed every day. We live for eternity. One day our dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. Then we will be judged for our deeds and rewarded or punished. If we have lived for Christ, we will live eternally with him. *** Lord, we look forward to that day when all we have put our faith in will be manifested before our eyes. Until that day, may we be diligent and grateful and put on your glory for the world to see you.
