Today’s Reading

5/1/2019       Day 120 Job 38:1 – 42:17


Reflection |
Today
Chapter 38 - 40:1 God shows up! Ask Job a series of questions
Where were you at Creation? Human - what is your power?
Who do you think you are? Shall a faultfinder contend with the
Almighty?
Chapter 40:2 - 41:34  God continues God’s questioning of Job.
On earth there is no equal.
Chapter 42 - Job answers God and repents. God humiliates
Job’s friends and is mad at them. God gives Job tremendous
wealth and sons and daughters and grandchildren and
Great Grandchildren.

Meditation/Contemplate:
How do you understand God in good and bad times? How do we
study about God without losing the faith we have in God?

Prayer:
God, you speak to me in silence, in your creation, but mostly through
Your Word and Spirit. Make me a patient, humble, and loving listener
to you and others.  Amen.

Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established
the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been
reborn into the fellowship of Christ's Body may show forth in their lives
what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen.

(BCP - Collects - Second Sunday of Easter)
