Job 37
Hiyori stated that from v.13-14, she learned that God has a plan/purpose for everything.
I shared how Elihu and Job’s friends are always talking about how vast God is, which is true, but I believe it’s also important to remember that I can now come directly before God because of what Jesus did for me. This helps me to be more personal with him.
Kana: At this point, she feels that it is meaningless for Job to listen to his friends or Elihu. She learned from this chapter that it is important to not let anything get in between your relationship with God. Therefore, when it comes to these types of situations, it is important to ask/talk to God directly.
Akari did not have anything to share from the passage.
Seiyu: God made nature and so it’s important to do what you can to preserve the earth; that’s one way to express your love for God.
Prayer:
Akari suggested a prayer for God guidance for everyone (in the Bible reading group). I asked in what sense, but she stated that she had not thought that far yet. We were looking for a Bible verse for her prayer and I suggested Matthew 6:33. However, she stated that that was not what she had in mind when she brought up the prayer. It seemed like she got lost in her thoughts and in the end, she decided to cancel the prayer. I still thought it was a good prayer so I took it up in the way that I thought the prayer was about which was for God to continue guiding us within our lives so that we may continue to draw closer towards his purpose for us. I stood on Matthew 6:33.
