• Read 1 Corinthians 15:35-58

We just had to end with this passage which reminds me of Revelation
and all that is to come in eternity:

• What is true of us (those of us who are sons and daughters of God) according to this passage?

• What makes you the most excited after reading this passage?

• Why is verse 58 true?

• Read Acts 17:16-34

Paul, while walking through the city of Athens sees that they worship all
kinds of idols, and just to cover their bases, they are also worshiping an
“unknown god.” He seizes the opportunity to explain to them the One
True God, maker of heaven and earth.

Answer these questions on a separate piece of paper today:

• Why, according to Paul, does He mark out our times and days?
• How close does God feel right now?
• How do you see Him living in you, moving in you, and giving you your being? In what practical ways is this true today?
• All throughout Revelation we heard the call to align ourselves in allegiance to Christ and His Kingdom. Where do you see your life more aligned to Jesus’ ways than in the Fall when we began Revelation?

• Read John 1:1-14

We learned in proverbs that Wisdom was there before the created earth
and heavens. The same is true of the Word.

Consider these questions today:

• Who is the Word that created everything?

• What does He bring to us when He comes to live with us?

• Why does it say that we are His own? How are we His?

• What determines if someone is a child of God?

• What is the difference between God’s own/God’s creation and being a son or daughter of God?

• Read Colossians 1:15-20

We’ve just finished reading weeks of creation accounts and visuals.

• What do we learn from these verses?

• What does this passage tell us about Jesus’ work in the ages past?

• What about His present work? What’s He doing right now?

• How about His future work?

• How does this expand your picture of who Jesus is? Consider all of it. Creation. The Fall. The Death and Resurrection. The End (as we’ve read in Revelation). All to reconcile everything to God.

Spend some time listening to the song Where Were You:

The lyrics here reminded me of where we’ve been this past two weeks.

Perhaps you are left with questions, sadness, or confusion about how
life operates?

• Reflect this morning on God’s great strength and power. Reflect on His ways and His wisdom. Realign yourself to Him.

• Read Job 42

Reflect on the following questions as you go about your day today:

• God finishes his questions and Job replies. What do you think is going through Job’s mind as he sums things up?

• How does God demonstrate His respect for Job?

In this narrative, Job never learns about God’s conversation with Satan that resulted in the crushing losses Job experienced. Often, we also do
not know what’s happening behind the scenes of our lives.

• How does creation itself offer us solace and explanation about who God is in the midst of messy lives?

• Read Job 41

The Leviathan. Interesting for sure: Leviathan is the traditional name
for a menacing, armored, and destructive creature. It is referenced in
several books of the Bible, including Psalms, Job, Isaiah, and Amos.

On a separate piece of paper, jot down some answers to the following questions:

• What is the “take home” from this chapter?
• As you think about all of God’s questions in the past several days of reading, I have to ask again: why do you think God questions Job in this fashion?
• How has your view of God been expanded?
• Have you had any other thoughts about who God is?
