“Stop And Consider God’s Wonders”

“Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God’s wonders. Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge? You who swelter in your clothes when the land lies hushed under the south wind, can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze?

“Tell us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness. Should he be told that I want to speak? Would anyone ask to be swallowed up? Now no one can look at the sun, bright as it is in the skies after the wind has swept them clean. Out of the north he comes in golden splendor; God comes in awesome majesty. The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress. Therefore, people revere him, for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart?”

Job 37:14-24

Begin your day by reading the Bible. Read the passage from Job. Compare the Lord’s power to the atmospheric muscle of a storm.

Compared to God, we humans are feeble. We are unable to help ourselves spiritually, heal our hearts, or fix the injustice we often endure. But with all of His power, the God of the storm cares about us weaklings. He remembers that we are dust. He gives us power, when we have no might. He increases our strength. God is stronger than anything you or I have ever encountered, and He loves us. He can help in our weakness.

God is the source of our strength.
