I don't trust him, but I trust God.

The life of Job and the death of his family members, Job recognizes that God is sovereign over all that, like we read about in Job 14.5.

We've been seeing God's sovereignty over so many things since we started reading the Bible together.

And it's fitting that we notice all these separate areas because the word sovereign really means that God is the supreme authority and that all these things are under his control.

So what we've seen a lot this week is where his sovereignty has been displayed in various areas.

We will continue to see this all throughout scripture.

So keep looking for that.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a page in scripture where that's not displayed.

So here's my challenge to you.

Notice if and when it feels offensive to you that God is in charge.

Where do you want to be the God of your own life?

Where do you feel like he's infringing on your rights with his sovereignty?

That was a real struggle for me on my first trip through scripture.

So I feel for you if that's where you are right now.

Hang in there.

Keep looking for him in these pages because he's where the joy is.

Hey, Bible readers!

In addition to our regular eight-minute daily podcast of The Bible Recap, we also have a second daily podcast that follows our daily Bible reading.

In The Bible Recap, we'll be recapping what we just read in Scripture, and this podcast will be our prayer of response to God about what we just read.

Since it's a podcast devoted to prayer, we're calling it the Bible Kneecap, like kneeling in prayer.
