Welcome to today's reading from the Our Daily Bread Devotional.

Jennifer Benson Schult wrote today's encouragement, and she titled it, Bigger Than Our Problems.

What do you imagine dinosaurs look like when they were alive?

Big teeth, scaly skin, long tails.

Artist Karen Carr recreates these extinct creatures in large murals. One of her panoramas is over

20 feet tall and 60 feet long. Because of its size, it required a crew of experts to install it in sections where it resides

in the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History.

It would be hard to stand in front of this mural without feeling dwarfed by the dinosaurs.

I get a similar sensation when I read God's description of the powerful animal called behemoth in the book of Job.

This big guy munched grass like an ox and had a tail the size of a tree trunk.

His bones were like iron pipes.

He lumbered through the hills grazing, stopping occasionally to relax at the local swamp.

When floodwaters surged, behemoth never raised an eyebrow.

No one could tame this incredible creature, except its maker.

God reminded Job of this truth during a time when Job's problems had cast ominous shadows

over his life.

Grief, bewilderment, and frustration filled

his field of vision until he began to question God. But God's response helped Job see the real

size of things. God was bigger than all his issues and powerful enough to handle the problems

that Job couldn't resolve on his own.

In the end, Job conceded, I know that you can do all things.

Today's Our Daily Bread Devotional Scripture reading is from Job chapter 40 verses 15 through 24.
