Pay Attention to This

Scripture:

Job 37:14 "Pay attention to this, Job. Stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God!"

Observation:

Here again Job is being comforted by his friend. He is told to pay attention, to stop and consider something. As Job is in his suffering and going through an incredibly terrible place in his life, he is told to stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God. Job is still reasoning and trying to figure out why all of this has happened to him. He is struggling and reasoning with God when he is told to Stop and consider the awesomeness of God.

Application:

This is really wise council for someone going through a difficult season of life. Usually when times get tough, we walk away from God and refuse to stop and think about His greatness. We feel He is not powerful anymore because He hasn't done what we wanted Him to or what we thought He should do for us. During these times we must learn to step back and think about the awesome miracles of God. He has done enough wonderful miracles that if He never did another one, He is still worthy to be praised! We need to step back and pay attention to who God is and realize that we are so small compared to Him. He could wipe us out with a word. Take time today to think about the greatness of God. It will help you see through the trouble of the day!

Prayer:

Lord, show me You glory! Show me the awesomeness of Your power. I want to know you as Paul did, "in the fellowship of Your suffering and in the power of Your resurrection". I choose today to pay attention to who You are. nothing is too difficult for You! You are above all other gods! Your kingdom is eternal and You have all authority in heaven and earth! You are matchless and Your miracles are awesome! I love You!
