Daily Bible Reading – December 2021: God’s Word of Joyနမူနာ

December 4

Introduction

The book of Job is the story of a good man who suffers the loss of his children and property and is afflicted with a repulsive disease. Today’s reading is the concluding chapter to the book which records how Job is restored to his former state with even greater prosperity than before. God reprimands Job’s friends for failing to understand the meaning of Job’s suffering and they are told to make a special offering to avoid being punished. Job prays for his friends as instructed by God, and Job receives the LORD’s blessings.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Job 42:1-17

Today’s Key Verse:  Job 42:2

I know, LORD, that you are all-powerful; that you can do everything you want.

Reflect

Chapters 38—41 record how God speaks to Job. Verses 1-6 in today’s reading record Job’s response. What does Job say to God? Have you ever questioned God regarding events that happened in your life?

Pray

Lord God, you are all-powerful, and I worship you and praise your holy name. Teach me to listen to your voice and obey your commands. Amen.
