Job 25-28
1.) Facts:
- Chapter 25 starts out with Bildad showing the infinite distance there is between God and man. He instructs Job to think highly and honorably of God and lowly of ourselves. In the midst of the ongoing debate between Job and his friends, Job actually agrees with Bildad in Chapter 26. Chapter 27 is Job expressing his integrity and the hopelessness and final fate of the wicked. Job searches for the meaning of wisdom in Chapter 28 and finds that wisdom is to fear the Lord and shun evil.
2.) Lessons:
- 28:28 - "The fear of the Lord is wisdom and to shun evil is understanding."
- 25:2-6 - “Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven. Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise? How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure? If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes, how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot, a human being, who is only a worm!” God is powerful and man is lowly and sinful.
- 27:5 - "till I die, I will not deny my integrity"
3.) Applications:
- God is all powerful and we need to show respect to Him by honoring Him through our circumstances and not thinking more highly of ourselves that we ought. No matter what lies in our path we are called to maintain our integrity, fear God and shun evil, for that is the meaning of wisdom.
4.) Daily Meditation:
- 28:28 - "The fear of the Lord is wisdom and to shun evil is understanding."
