Job 41:33,34

Some animals seem proud. And some people are very proud. But nobody can continue to be proud when they see a crocodile. Their proud words cannot protect them from such a dangerous animal.

The devil is also very proud. The devil is not afraid of any person. The devil is so bold that he even accuses God. But God is much more powerful than the devil. So we need to trust God. God will help us when the devil opposes us (1 Peter 5:8-9). We should learn how to be strong Christians (Ephesians 6:10-18). And we should use the Bible against the devil as Jesus did (Matthew 4:1-10).

Psalms 104

Psalms 104 is similar to Job Chapter s 38-41. Psalms 104 also describes many animals that God created. It is a song to praise God for his wonderful deeds. Similar passages include:

• Psalms 104:11 and Job 39:5-8. These passages are both about the wild donkey (a small horse).

• Psalms 104:18 and Job 39:1-4. These passages are both about the wild goat.

• Psalms 104:26 and Job chapter 41. These passages are both about the animal called the crocodile.

• Psalms 104:7-9 and Job 38:8-11. These passages both describe how God made a boundary for the sea.

• Psalms 104:21-22 and Job 38:39-40. These passages both describe how God provides food for lions.

There are also other similar passages.

In Job Chapter s 38-41, God was testing Job (Job 38:3; Job 40:7). God wanted Job to realise that God had done many wonderful things. And that no man could do such things.

Psalms 104 is like an answer to Job’s test. The Psalm praises God, who did all these things by his wisdom (Psalms 104:24). So we should give honour to God. We should always trust him. He will save his people. But he will punish wicked people (Psalms 104:33-35).
