Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample

Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me (Job 38:3).

Can you trust in God, who governs the universe?

The Lord responds to Job “out of a whirlwind,” which both masks and unveils His person and work (Job 38:1). In Job’s bewilderment, God asks him questions about creation like the following: “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? To what were its foundations fastened?" (Job 38:4-6). Simply put, God teaches the finite Job to trust in His infinite power. Paul writes about Jesus, “He is before all things, and in Him all things consist” (Colossians 1:17). Our God creates and sustains every detail in this vast universe; we can depend on Him to govern our lives.

Employment Point: Marvel at the Master of the universe and trust in Him always.
