DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 15-16; Job 18-19; Matt. 8:28 to 9:17

Hast thou considered my servant Job? Job 1:8

Obviously God had considered Job. He said that there was none like him on earth, perfect and upright, one who feared God and shunned evil. Well might we wonder what God says when He considers us. Nevertheless Job suffered to the extent that now he is seen as an example of suffering. What was the end of the matter? It is that we should consider God who is eternal, all-knowing, all-powerful, and pure. “Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God” (Job 37:14). —D. Pickup

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed,
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art! —Carl Boberg
