As I read the book of Job each year, Job reminds me about my God, why He is worthy, oh so worthy to be served.
- Everything under heaven is His. He even sets limits for Satan.
- He controls all of nature – that which is above and that which is below.
- None came before Him, and He has no end, so it is not possible that any will come after Him.
- Whatever He wills – that shall be done. None can resist or successfully oppose Him. None of His purposes can be thwarted.
- In His presence, I see the wretch that I am, hopelessly self-focused and self-seeking, lacking in power and sufficiency, totally dependent on my God.
Although He might despise me for my inadequacies, my frailties, my pathetic efforts to be independent, He doesn’t. Instead He extends His loving arms to hold and comfort me. He washes me in His blood, and I am clean.
