Sunday: Job – Be a Man!: Job 40:6-14
God finally gave Job the one thing he wanted most, the opportunity to meet Him in court and defend his case. Suppose God gave you the same opportunity. What would you say to Him? Would you rather meet God in court or at the throne of grace? The more you meet Him at the throne of grace, the less interested you will be to meet Him in court.
Monday: Look at the Behemoth: Job 40:15-24
We cannot identify the behemoth with certainty. We know that it was herbivorous, amphibian, and exceedingly powerful. It rested in shady, marshy areas and is not easily intimidated. God emphasized that if Job could not subdue this great creature of the world, then he was in no position to question and counsel the God who had made it.
Tuesday: Consider Leviathan: Job 41:1-10
Another awesome amphibious creature is Leviathan, unique in the creation of God. Can Job harness him? God wants to know. While the behemoth is primarily a land creature, Leviathan is primarily aquatic. Man cannot catch him with hook and line, or domesticate him or make him a family pet. His armor-like exterior resists harpoons and spears, and the sight of him discourages meddling with him.
Wednesday: Awe of the Creator: Job 41:11-25
God interrupts the description to ask a pertinent question: If men stand in such awe of a mere creature, how much more should they fear Him who created the creature, who is eternal, who is obligated to no one, and who is Owner and Creator of all?
Thursday: Back of Leviathan: Job 41:26-34
Leviathan’s build is massive and his mighty power is enormous. The description of possibly dinosaurs reflect the glory, power, and majesty of God Himself. They are His creation, and He purposely used them to illustrate His own splendor and strength.
Friday: Job’s Final Answer to God: Job 42:1-6
Job’s final answer to God was one of absolute humility and submission to His revelation. He confessed that God does all things well, that everything that God permits to occur, He does so in wisdom and with purpose and that even the suffering of the righteous has meaning and divine purpose.
Saturday: Epilogue: Job 42:7-16
Job was fully restored to God’s favor and was given spiritual authority with God. God heard Job’s intercessory prayer for his three friends because of Job’s righteous standing with God.
