Bold Humility

Job 38: 1

Then the Lord answered Job . . .

(Read Job 38 and 39)

God personally answered Job and talked to him out of the whirlwind. God is a Person, and a personal God to each of us, to me. He knew Job, and He knows me.

God confronts Job, asking him to describe all the parts we know of His Creation--the geological Earth, weather, the wild animal kingdom, the movement of the constellations--as though Job was present at Creation. 

He wanted to show Job that, although he knew what he knew, he should not take pride in what he knew, because there was so much more he did not know. 

I need to take care to not present myself as all-knowing. The more I learn of God's ways, according to His Word, I hope that I would realize how much more I don't know, and even what I will never know until He returns and glorifies me.

My I have my boldness in humility as I share with others.

Bold humility!

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
