Our Great God
KEY VERSE: "For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward," Deuteronomy 10:17.
If anyone ever could have recited this Key Verse with real feeling, it was Job, but only after God taught him the lesson he needed. After his so-called friends tore him down completely, God spoke to him to remind him of some great truths.
Were you there when the foundations of the earth were laid or kept the seas within their bounds? Who made the cloud covering or commanded the morning? Have you seen the breadth of the earth? What do you know about the snow or seen the treasures of the hail? How is the east wind scattered upon the earth?
Who has caused the rain or the drops of dew? Whence came the ice and the hoary frost? Can you send lightnings? Have you given the horse his strength? Does the eagle mount up at your command? Have you an arm like God? Can you draw out the great fish with a hook? (Job 38 is paraphrased.)
Job's answer was, he knows that God can do everything. It is easy to imagine him saying, You are the God of gods and Lord of lords, a great God, mighty and terrible.
Not only did God teach Job about Himself, He "blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning" (Job 42:12).
LIVING IT: Never lose sight of how great and majestic God is. He deserves your worship.
