The inevitable result of encountering God: "Behold, I am of small account." When we see Him for who He is, we see who we really are.

Hard time knowing what to say to this chapter. But that's good; it's exactly what God is aiming for, isn't it? (see 40::4)

Job 38

God upholds and guides the constellations. That means He's wise enough and strong enough to care for my little life. Trust Him!

God's view of those who try to stand in judgment of His ways: "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?"

Job 37:23

"The Almighty - we cannot find Him." Mercifully, He's actively in pursuit of us. Otherwise, no hope for anybody.

"Its crashing [the lightning] declares His presence." Thunderstorms are God's message: I'm here, and I'm not to be trifled with.

"He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ears by adversity." Pain is one way God gets our attention.

"Will you condemn Him who is righteous & mighty?" Elihu infers this is insane...yet millions of people do it every day. God won't be silent.

The song of the saved: "I sinned and perverted what was right, and it was not repaid to me. He has redeemed my soul from the pit."

Good posture before God: "I too was pinched off from a piece of clay." Clay doesn't call the shots; the Potter does. He does as He pleases.

Job 32

A good model for young folks: Elihu stays quiet and lets his elders talk first...but he does correct them when their counsel isn't helpful.

Job 31:24ff

Signs of unrighteousness: loving money more than God, joy at the ruin of enemies, not sharing wealth w/needy, hiding sin. Which apply to me?

Righteousness isn't just Bible reading & prayer; it's being eyes to the blind, feet to the lame & a father to the needy. See Isaiah 1:12ff.

'What is the hope of the godless when God takes away his life?' Answer: none. Every attempt at happiness without God fails in the end.

Job 25

God views man as a maggot & a worm because of sin. How wonderful, then, is this: that Christ was slaughtered to turn maggots into children.
