Day 016: Abram the Crosser-Over
The first time Abram is called “the Hebrew,” the Bible isn’t naming his ethnicity so much as his story. He is the crosser-over—the man who passed out of death and into promise. And in Genesis 15, we discover that the God who calls us to cross is also the God who crosses for us.

Day 015: Great Physician or Bad Doctor? (Job 42:3)
When pain comes—unexpected, sharp, and unwelcome—it’s easy to question God’s goodness. Like a child accusing a doctor after a painful shot, we sometimes mistake suffering for betrayal. At the end of Job, God doesn’t explain the pain away; he reorients us to trust the One who holds the needle—and bears the scars.

Day 014: Why Does Job Mention Greek Constellations? (Job 38:31-32)
When God speaks to Job out of the whirlwind, He suddenly points to the stars—naming the Pleiades, Orion, and the Mazzaroth. Those familiar names open a window into how God’s unchanging Word is faithfully translated so each generation can understand it.

Day 013: Really, Elihu? (Job 36:1-4)
Job’s friends—and Elihu most of all—say many true things about God. The problem isn’t that they speak falsehoods; it’s that they speak true things in false ways. They turn wisdom into weapons, doctrine into diagnosis, and God’s justice into a cudgel for the suffering. In doing so, they don’t just misread Job—they misrepresent God.

Day 012: Just When You Think You’ll Get Some Answers… (Job 31:40-32:5)
Just when Job finally stops talking—and his three friends fall silent—we expect God to speak. Instead, another voice steps forward. Elihu’s long speech reminds us how often life works this way: just when we think the answers are finally coming, they don’t. Silence stretches on. Hope gets postponed. And we’re left waiting, wondering when resolution…

Day 011: When We Don’t Feel as Close as We Used To (Job 29:2-4)
When we don’t feel as close to God as we used to, it’s easy to assume He’s the one who moved. Job felt that distance deeply—and he measured it by the loss of respect and honor from the people around him. But the book of Job reminds us of a steady truth we’re prone to…

Day 010: Is Job Just, or Just Arrogant? (Job 27:6)
Job’s declaration—“I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go”—sounds arrogant at first. But when read in light of God’s character and the gospel, Job’s confidence is not pride in himself, but trust that God is righteous, knowable, and just. In Christ, that confidence finds its true fulfillment.
