1. God is the Almighty Creator (1-13)

God's wisdom is deep and his power is limitless. He shakes the earth; he moves mountains; he alone stretches out the heavens and arranges the stars in constellations. The most powerful sea monsters cower at his feet when he passes by. Who can ask him, 'What are you doing?'

2. I can only plead with my Judge for mercy (14-31)

Job knows that a mortal man cannot be righteous before God (1). But he feels that he is innocent, for he can't think of any sin that he has committed. He can't protest his innocence, because he has already been pronounced guilty. He thinks about forgetting his complaints and wearing a plastic smile, but this solves nothing.

3. If only there were someone (32-35)

Job is longing for Jesus, the one Mediator between God and man (1Ti 2:5). He is longing for the One who speaks in our defense to plead his case before God (1Jn 2:1,2).

Application: Lord, who can stand before you, the Sovereign Creator? Thank you for Jesus, the one Mediator between God and man.
One Word: One Mediator between God and man
