#soap # Job 40 ## Title: If We Truly Saw God ## Scripture: (Job 40:3-5) Then Job answered the Lord: “Indeed, I am completely unworthy—how could I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth to silence myself. I have spoken once, but I cannot answer; twice, but I will say no more.” (NET) ## Observation: Have you ever thought something was one way, then realized you were completely wrong? I have done this countless times. One time, my family went on vacation and I was dreading it. The last time we had gone to this place, we stayed in a small one-bedroom place and we were on top of each other. I was not looking forward to it again. To my great surprise, when we showed up this time, we were in a beautiful little cabin with plenty of room. It also snowed and looked beautiful. It turned out to be much better than I imagined. Job has run into this. Over the past several chapters, he’s been complaining about God’s decisions and acted as though he knew what was going on. Then, God pulls back the curtain and shows him just a little of what is really happening. Job is speechless. I think our lives are like that. If God pulled back the curtain, we would be amazed at all the things God is doing that we don’t realize. We would never wonder if He is moving in our lives again. ## Application: Trust that God is always doing more than you see. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for doing more than we will ever see.
