DAILY BIBLE VERSE FOR TODAY 12TH APRIL 2024, FRIDAY
Daily Bible Verse for Today 12 April 2024 Friday – God’s Challenge To Man (Job 38:4) Devotional content taken from Our Daily Walk by F.B. Meyer
BIBLE VERSE: Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare if thou hast understanding. — Job 38:4
In This mighty chapter, God seems to draw near to the perplexed and stricken soul, who sits brooding over the problems of human life, and points out that mysteries equally insoluble are above his head and under his feet; that he lives and moves amongst them. Man frets and despairs over a mystery forced upon him by sorrow and loss. He cannot interpret it, and is shaken to the heart; but the whole universe teems with mystery. Man cannot explain the creation of the world, the separation of sky and earth, the reflex influences of the one on the other. Light and darkness, wind and rain, snow and ice, storm and sunshine; the instincts of the animal creation these defy man’s absolute understanding.
But who frets at the inscrutable mystery which enshrouds these natural phenomena! We use all of them, and make them serve our purpose.
We cannot be surprised, therefore, if we discover similar mysteries in God’s dealings with ourselves. He does not answer our questions by always telling us His secret reasonings. His thoughts and ways are as much higher than ours, as the heavens are higher than the earth, and we could not more understand His reasons than tiny children can the mysteries of human life. But behind all mystery the Father’s heart is beating, and a Father’s voice is pleading, that we should trust Him. Little children, you cannot understand, but you are infinitely dear to Me; I have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now; “what I do, thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.’” Trust me, and “let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
PRAYER OF THE DAY
O God, there are so many mysteries in the world, and in human life, and our eyes grow tired with straining into the darkness. Help us to believe in Thy unchanging love, and to trust where we cannot see or understand. Amen.
