TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE
Memorize this Verse:
15. T H S M Y W I T I H B I W M M O W B H
“Though he slay me, yet will in trust in him” expresses the unquenchable faith of one who lives by faith, not by sight. Even when it appears that God Himself has turned against Job, he will still trust in God.
Job assured his accusers that his convictions were not self-serving, because he was ready to die trusting God. But still he would defend his innocence before God, and was confident that he was truly saved and not a hypocrite (verse 16).
Because he had not been present to hear the interaction between God and Satan, Job could not know the significance of these words, which delivered a direct answer to Satan’s taunts (in 1:9-12 and 2:4-6). Job’s declaration proved his unconditional “trust” in God. Ultimately for Job, God was enough.
Job was placing his trust in God. He would not change the ways that he had been, because he had no guilt of sin in his life. He would present himself to God the same as he had been all along. His trust in God was greater than any fear that he might have. He knew that God was just and fair. He had nothing to fear.
