Job 39 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO

Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars and spreads his wings toward the south? Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes his nest on high? Job 39:26-27 – In His continued remarks to Job, God begins to look at different creatures that Job would have been familiar with and asked Job some questions concerning them. God asked Job if he knew when all the mountain goats gave birth. God asked if Job was able to make the powerful, wild ox obey him. God asked if Job was the one that gave the horse its might. God asked if Job was the one who made it possible for the hawk to soar in the sky. Each time, if Job were to have given an answer, the answer would have been “No.” Job didn’t know these things and Job didn’t possess the power over such creatures…yet God did. God sees each goat and can overpower even the mightiest of beasts. God is the one who gave strength to the horse and flight to the hawk. If then we don’t have the knowledge, wisdom, power, or strength over any of these things, let’s place our trust in the one that does. While we can’t control the winds or the waves, nor make the sun rise, nor control the beasts of the earth, these are simple things to our God. Let us lean not on our own understanding, for our understanding falls far short of God’s. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and find yourself trusting in the only one that is truly over all. I love you, but Jesus loves you more - Mac
