You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.


Job 41:6-8

 

 

6 Shall the companions [chabbar] make a banquet [karah] of him? shall they part [chatsah] him among the merchants [Kana`aniy]?

7 Canst thou fill [male'] his skin [`owr] with barbed irons [sukkah]? or his head [ro'sh] with fish [dag] spears [tsalatsal]?

8 Lay [suwm] thine hand [kaph] upon him, remember [zakar] the battle [milchamah], do no more [yacaph]. KJV-Interlinear

 

 

6 'Will the traders bargain over him? Will they divide him among the merchants? 7 'Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears? 8 'Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle; you will not do it again! NASB

 

 

Today we have many tools and techniques for catching and controlling wild animals, but back in Jobs day, any attempt to catch a huge crocodile, for example, would be a treacherous deal at best. Many a hunter was probably killed when confronted by a croc.

 

Even traders, or those who might bet on the outcome, could not divide the spoils. How can one divide up a crocodile that is looking you right in the eye.

 

The normal tools with which to hunt, a fishing hook, an arrow, even a spear would be useless against the crocodile or some large, powerful and ferocious animal. An animal that would just as soon eat you as look at you. Man means nothing to these beasts.

 

And something that you might want to remember if you happen to cross the path of a croc. If you decide to seize hold of him in a fight, then you had better be prepared to win the fight with your first attempt, otherwise, the outcome will not be in your favor. Remember it well, should you survive the fight, and learn your lesson for biting off something bigger than you can chew. You won't want to attempt it again.

 

And so God gives us all simple lessons on life.

 

Man cannot control his own environment. Man cannot control the weather. Man cannot control the lightning. Man cannot duplicate in nature, that which exists all around us. Even though man has been around for many thousands of years.

 

How can man possibly confront God, challenge God, question God, in any matter?

 

And yet people continue to ignore their spiritual life, which is fundamental to their entire existence.

End Of Lesson

Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
