Job 36: 22 – 31
22 “God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
23 Who has prescribed his ways for him, or said to him, ‘You have done wrong’?
24 Remember to extol his work, which men have praised in song.
25 All mankind has seen it; men gaze on it from afar.
26 How great is God – beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out.
27 He draws up the drops of water, which distil as rain to the streams;
28 the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind.
29 Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion?
30 See how he scatters his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea.
31 This is the way he governs the nations…”

For Thought
The best time to learn the art of navigation is not when you are in a storm, but prior to it. How would you cope with a Job-sized problem? Have you a strategy for dealing with issues before they arise? If not perhaps now is the time to start working on it.
Contemplation
