Job 37

Daily Devotional from Job 37–

Verse 5
God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend.

Although Elihu’s speech to Job and his friends still fell short of perfect, I just love the things he says in this chapter. He is keenly aware of God’s majesty, and he knows that it outweighs everything else. Elihu emphasizes that God is above all, and he is all-powerful, no matter the situation.

I think we can take some wisdom from Elihu. No matter what we’re going through, it does our hearts and souls good to recognize and declare God’s majesty. We can rest in the fact that he is omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnipresent (ever-present)! Whenever I do this, the troubles I’m facing seem to shrink down. 

If you are suffering or facing hardship today, I encourage you to take some time and meditate on God’s majesty. Declare his goodness and his faithfulness. Proclaim who he is! Your problems won’t disappear, but you will remember who is bigger than your problems in the first place.
