Job 41 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Job 41.  The LORD is speaking.

Meditate on verse 1.

 

Can you draw out Leviathan with

a fishhook? Or press down his

tongue with a cord?

 

What is your Leviathan?  What is the trial, the persecution, the burden you battle?  The LORD asks Job 16 questions about his Leviathan, this monster causing him so much pain and trouble.  God asks Job what he can do about Leviathan.  And the answer is, nothing; Job is not capable of fighting Leviathan; only God can fight him.  And so, we get to the heart of Job; the purpose of the trials is to bring us to the place of acknowledging we are not God, and we are powerless to fight Leviathan waging war against us.  Only God can deal with the terror, pride, and fear consuming us (vs. 14, 15, 25).  Allow what God has allowed in your life to work its purpose, giving up your pride and the control to Him.  Relief comes with surrender to the Almighty.

 

Pray Job 41:8-10 and 34 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, I lay my hand one more time on this

 Leviathan in order to hand him to You.

I will remember the battle because I do not want

to do it again.  Behold, my expectation has been false,

and I was laid low at the sight of Leviathan.

There is no one fierce enough who dares to arouse him,

so I give him to You because no one can stand

before You, God.  Remove Leviathan from __________ and

me, for he is king over all the sons of pride.

Do not let him be king any longer over us.

In Your name, King Jesus~”
