1 July 2019 – Job 12:13-14 (NIV)
Scripture
13 “To God belong wisdom and power;
counsel and understanding are his.
14 What he tears down cannot be rebuilt;
those he imprisons cannot be released.
Reflection
This is another way to say, “God has the last word”. We can influence God and “make our case” for a preferred outcome but God is the one with the eternal and perfect perspective. In the end His loving purpose will be accomplished. One way he will do this is by opening “doors” and keeping them open and closing “doors” and keeping them closed! (see Revelation 3:7).
