BEHOLD

August 18, 2017-Friday-#451 Daily Morning Bible Reading and Meditation-Job 36 KJV

***Behold, GOD is Mighty, and despiseth not any: He is mighty in strength and wisdom.***

[5] Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. 

[6] He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. 

[7] He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. 

[13] But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. 

[14] They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. 

[15] He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. 

[22] Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? 

[23] Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? 

[24] Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. 

[25] Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. 

[26] Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

Words to ponder for today:

BEHOLD!

Behold meaning: 1 : to perceive through sight or apprehension : see

                              2 : to gaze upon : observe

Elihu said: 

* Behold, GOD is Mighty, and despised not any:  v. 5

* Behold, GOD exalteth by His power, who teacheth like Him? V.22

* Behold, GOD is great, and we know Him not, neither can the number of years be searched out. 

He also reminded Job that he magnify His work, which men behold. 

It is indeed easy to speak about the greatness and goodness of GOD when a person is in his well beings. 

But the mind, emotion, will and deposition are blurred when in great sufferings and afflictions; that it is but a great relief to sigh, to lament and cry in anguish, hoping that doing so, may give relief to the hopeless soul. 

We should be reminded then: 

When in pain, in agony , in trials and in testings. Behold! 

There is The Mighty GOD, The GOD exalted in His power, The Great GOD, whom no one is able to search out the number of His years; Who, in His power have spread forth the clouds, and His voice is far louder than the thunderings and his power is more than the lightnings, yet His tender love is powerful enough  to give comfort to the weary souls. 

He, through His Son JESUS CHRIST, have come and live within this world, to prove His love and everlasting grace. And despite of the rejection, shame and sorrow unto death He had wholly received  from His own,  He lovingly forgive us His oppressors and take us in when we had repented and followed Him. 

Let us daily behold His Greatness and His Mighty Hand, which provided the sun its heat, the air we breath, which never cease to give us His grace, as He holds everything pertaining to this life together that we may live our everyday lives. 

Let us then be watchful as what The LORD JESUS CHRIST had spoken: 

Revelation 3:2,20 KJV

[2] Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 

[20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

He is the Great GOD yet lovingly appealing to each one of us. 

He is continually knocking at the door of our hearts. Be watchful and neglect not to let HIM in.

Good morning! 

  

Job 36:1-33 KJV

[1] Elihu also proceeded, and said, [2] Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf. [3] I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. [4] For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. [5] Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. [6] He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. [7] He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. [8] And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; [9] Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. [10] He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. [11] If they obey and serve him , they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. [12] But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. [13] But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. [14] They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. [15] He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. [16] Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness. [17] But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee . [18] Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. [19] Will he esteem thy riches? no , not gold, nor all the forces of strength. [20] Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. [21] Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. [22] Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? [23] Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? [24] Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. [25] Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. [26] Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. [27] For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: [28] Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. [29] Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? [30] Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. [31] For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance. [32] With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt. [33] The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
