Midweek Musings - The Sovereignty of God

Job Chapters 38-41. The Sovereignty of God.

Is God enough?

Job 38:1-4; 12-13 – God is God!

Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:

2 “Who is this that obscures my plans
with words without knowledge?

3 Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.
4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.

“Have you ever given orders to the morning,
or shown the dawn its place,

13 that it might take the earth by the edges
and shake the wicked out of it?

Job 40:1-5 – God is God and I am not!

The Lord said to Job:
2 “Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him?
Let him who accuses God answer him!”
3 Then Job answered the Lord:

4 “I am unworthy—how can I reply to you?
I put my hand over my mouth.

5 I spoke once, but I have no answer—
twice, but I will say no more.”

Is God enough? The book of Job say, yes. God is enough, Job recognises that God is God, and he recognises that he is not God (Job 40:4),, “I am unworthy…”.

What a great place to finish the book of Job in awe of God and in repentance towards God

  • Ask God to teach you his truth about himself that will leave you in awe of Him.
  • Live today, tomorrow and the next day repenting and turning from yourself to the one who is enough.

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
Lamentations 3:22-24
