Write out a prayer of thanks for who God is according to this Psalm.
Yesterday we heard the command to “think on these things.” What we pay attention to, what our mind focuses on becomes who we are. Last week we had a chance to see the story that Job and his friends were telling themselves about who God was and who they were. We saw God challenge this story with the true story about Himself and Job renewed his mind and adjusted his story to reflect God’s revealed truth.
This week, we are going to get to know another man, David. Through some Psalms that he wrote, we are going to have a chance to “think on these things.” To pay attention to God’s character, to how David relates to Him, and who he says that God is.
Pay attention, think on it, focus your mind, be renewed in fundamental ways to see who God is and to also see who you are in light of that.
Today we will use the “Know, Be, Do” format for devotions this morning We are going to use this all week to catch a glimpse of who David sees God to be.

Spend some time rereading some of how God reveals Himself and the characteristics that popped out to you from Job 38-41. Take some time to just praise and adore the God who allows Himself to be KNOWN.
Read Job 42
What has Job learned about who God is?
How do you think Job KNOWS God differently from Job 1 & 2?
Think about your past times of suffering or the present suffering you are in. Is your heart open to learning more about God and what He wants to show you about Himself? Or has the pain overwhelmed this desire and you are angry? (Be honest – God sees where you are at and cares so much about walking alongside of you).
