0:04.1	Job, chapter 12, verse 10, in his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of
0:12.7	all mankind. Now this is part I love about the book of Job and we'll see it most clearly when you
0:22.5	get to God's response to Job at the end of this book and it's just a powerful revelation of who
0:30.9	God is. But along the way, much like we were praying according to in Job 11, we see these
0:39.2	glorious pictures of who God is and his greatness and his power. And here in verse 10 of Job,
0:48.3	chapter 12 and his sustaining power in our lives and his hand is the life of every living thing.

2:15.2	If you don't give us breath, God, we praise you as our sustainer. We look to you as our
2:23.1	sustainer. And we say we're so glad our lives are in your hand. Huh. It would be not comforting
2:32.4	it all. If our lives were in the hands of what God or creator who is not all good and all loving
2:40.5	and all wise and gracious and merciful and just, oh, God, we praise you. We are glad to be in
