God’s Wisdom is Greater Than Ours

 Scripture:

““Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much.” ‭‭Job‬ ‭38‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬

Observation:

God is speaking to Job here and puts him in his place in a big way. He asks Job, “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?” He then goes on to say, “Tell me, if you know so much.” Wow! He let Job have it. This was a moment of reckoning for Job. God was calling him out for thinking he knew it all and was wiser than everyone else.

Application:

We should never think more of ourselves than we ought. Humility always wins with God. When we exalt ourselves, He will make sure we get a good dose of humility. ‬We must never think we are greater than we really are. God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and always present. We are extremely limited in our knowledge and wisdom. As long as we know that, we are in a good place. He is unlimited, we are limited. We must trust Him. He knows best.

Prayer:

Lord God, help me to trust You more and myself less. Help me to have a right and godly perspective on everything in my life. Teach me Your ways and walk with me. Show me Your truths and Your wisdom. More than anything, keep me in step with You.

Yours,

Jeff
