Daily Meditation
23 Touching the
Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment,
and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
Today’s Reading
Job
Chapter 37
He Is Excellent In
Power
1 At this also my
heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. 2 Hear attentively the noise of
his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 3 He directeth it under
the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. 4 After it a
voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not
stay them when his voice is heard. 5 God thundereth marvellously with his
voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. 6 For he saith to the
snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of
his strength. 7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his
work. 8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. 9 Out of the
south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. 10 By the breath of God
frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 11 Also by
watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: 12 and it
is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he
commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. 13 He causeth it to
come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14 Hearken unto
this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 15 Dost thou
know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? 16
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is
perfect in knowledge? 17 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth
by the south wind? 18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and
as a molten looking glass?
