Recently I have concluded the book of Job in my devotional readings.
Through the reading of this Old Testament book I was reminded of Job's
unwavering faithfulness and continual dependence in God.
He truly is to serve as a Biblical example to pattern Christians' lives after.
As I did with the book of Ecclesiastes,
I thought I would share a few of the passages which spoke to my heart.
{Somehow whenever I take pictures of nature
I am pointed to and reminded of the wonderful Creator I serve;
hence the "need" to picturize these highlighted passages...}
Hast thou considered my servant, Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feared God, and escheweth evil?
1:8
Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
1:21-22
and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him with out cause.
2:3
I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
Which doeth great things and unsearchable: marvelous things without number:
Who giveth rain upon the earth and sendeth waters upon the fields:
5:8-10
Behold happy is the man whom God correcteth:
5:17a
Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
6:8
How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove/
6:25
Behold he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
12:14
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
19:25-26
But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
23:10
I have esteemed with words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
23:12
For God maketh my heart soft...
23:16
seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty?
24:1a
For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth:
37:6a
By the breath of God frost is given:
37:10a
I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
42:2
I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
42:3b
And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
42:10
So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning:
So Job died, being old and full of days.
42:12a, 17
