Well, let's open our Bibles together to Job and turn to chapter 38.

And let me pray with you before we begin.

So, Lord, for one last time now, we pray that you would come and be our teacher.

We love the biblical truth of being God taught.

One of the promises of the new covenant is that they will no longer say to one another,

know the Lord, for all of them

will know the Lord because they will be taught by the Lord.

And so, Lord, in measure as you have bought the new covenant promises for us in the blood of Jesus,

the blood of the eternal covenant, we lay hold on that promise that you will be our

teacher, that you will open our hearts and that you will subdue our wills where they

rise up to resist the truth of your

word and that you would make us

clear-headed and

affectionate in our feelings

for you and for each other, for the lost

for the nations.

So Lord, let the ripple effect

go out from this little pebble dropping this morning for

thousands of miles and thousands of years.

I pray for the glory of Christ and the good of people.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Now, before I jump into Job, I want to step back and say something from the book of Philippians.
