1. Brace yourself like a man (40:6-14)

God asks Job some questions which have obvious answers. God brings proud men low. He is the one who can break a man or save him. We cannot understand God's ways, but when we come to him humbly, seeking his help, he will surely save us by his strong right hand. A man cannot justify himself by accusing God of wrongdoing.

2. Behemoth and Leviathan (40:15-41:34)

The behemoth is probably a hippopotamus or an elephant, and the leviathan, a crocodile. These are the largest and most impressive animals of land and water. Why did God create such wonderful and frightful beasts? He alone knows. Who can question his ways, or contend with these mighty beasts? Proud men are no match for the proud crocodile; he despises haughty people. God who created the ostrich has a sense of humor; and God who created the mighty beasts is mightier than all.

Application: Lord, my pride comes from ignorance of your almighty power and unsearchable wisdom. Forgive me.
One Word: God brings proud men low
