Reading along with us in Job? Here’s today’s reading:
Job 41 (NIV)
1“Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook
or tie down its tongue with a rope?
2 Can you put a cord through its nose
or pierce its jaw with a hook?…..Continue Reading
The greatness of Leviathan is described and how unassailable and not understandable he is by man. And so if one of God’s creatures is something that humbles man, and yet God is in control of it, how much more humble are we before the God who has created everything and is above and in control of everything.
Job 40 & 41
Another humbling description of our limitations as man and why we should never assume to think we are the same as God. I take pause to think about this description of the Leviathan and how it sounds almost representative of Satan and the evil of this world and wonder how people could think that they could live without God and have to face the Leviathans of their lives. Better to be under the cover of the creator of such a beast than to think you can go against it alone!
Psalm 102; Lamentations 4; Job 38-41
Job 41
The Leviathan was created by God with the protection of armor, strength, and boldness so that nothing could withstand it. God also gave us an armor that nothing can withstand. We have the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, feet fitted with the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. Let us put on the full armor of God every day to stand against the devil’s schemes.
I think Leviathan is a dragon.
