Key Verse: 26:14B
First, Bildad's claim (25:1-6). Bildad's third claim is shorter. He is right to say that the dominion and awe belong to the Lord God who establishes order with his mighty forces. Even the bright moon and the shining stars are not pure in his eyes. Therefore a mortal, who is only a worm, a maggot, can't be right before him. He kept condemning Job based on 'cause and effect'. He didn't understand God and Job deeply.
Second, Job's response (26:1-14). Job agreed with Bildad but with enriched reasons and wisdom he revealed God as the Sovereign Lord of all creation. Job deeply acknowledged and revered the Lord's power, wisdom and will revealed in the universe. He did not claim that he was right before God, rather he wanted to meet the Lord Almighty, the Creator, to be righteous before him.
Prayer: Lord, before the awesome God, it's true that no one can understand you and can be right. Yet, the Lord can make sinners who earnestly seek You right.
One Word: The awesome Lord's mysterious love
