Scripture:
“Why do you talk so much when you know so little?” Job 38:2 CEV
Observation:
After many rounds of Job speaking with his friends and defending himself before God, God speaks up and begins to interrogate Job. The first question the Lord asks Job is, “Why do you talk so much when you know so little?” This is a question, but also a powerful statement concerning Job’s pride. God began to ask Job serious questions that made Job feel insignificant and powerless. God was establishing that without Him, Job was nothing.
Application:
Humility is the greatest trait of those who follow the Lord. As His people, we are to be humble before the Lord and others. God doesn’t like it when we act like we know it all. He would rather us come running to Him for mercy than to confront Him and challenge His integrity or knowledge. When we come before the Lord, we are in the presence of all power and authority. We are in the presence of the one who knows everything. We must come humbly.
Prayer:
Lord, teach me to walk humbly before You and not question You when things go wrong. Help me to walk humbly before You. You are all-powerful and all-knowing. You know better than I ever will. Reveal Yourself more and more to me and help me to represent You well. Show me more of Yourself. I am here to learn.
Your Son,
Jeff
