ReVerse passage – Job 9:32-35 (day six)
He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less. John 3:30
It seems to me that Job’s view of God only increases. Even at his lowest point or his loudest complaint, his perspective of God doesn’t seem to diminish. Often in our suffering, the world seems to shrink around our sorrow and pain; it is hard for us to see beyond our looming fear.
Not so with Job, his increasing view of God leads him to make some insightful conclusions and revelations about God and himself.
It got me wondering, what if it is my diminished view of God that keeps me from fully realizing my identity in Jesus, or bearing the kind of fruit he desires for me? Seems to me, he must increase, and I must decrease.
