Connect Job 14:15 with another scripture about God's faithfulness to His people. When God Calls and We Answer “You will call, and I will answer You; You will desire the work of Your hands.” “The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.” What These Two Verses Reveal • Job, in the midst of deep suffering, anchors his hope in God’s future call—confident that the Lord longs for the very people He fashioned. • Paul assures believers that the same God who calls them never abandons that call; His faithfulness guarantees completion. Tracing the Thread of God’s Faithfulness 1. The Divine Initiative • “You will call” (Job 14:15) – God is the One who speaks first. • “The One who calls you” (1 Thessalonians 5:24) – Salvation and sanctification begin with His voice. 2. Our Certain Response • “I will answer You” – Job expects a living relationship, not a one-sided monologue. • Believers today echo that answer as they “hold firm to the faith” (Hebrews 10:23). 3. God’s Ongoing Desire • “You will desire the work of Your hands” – Humanity is God’s handiwork (cf. Psalm 138:8). • His faithfulness means He “will carry it to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6). 4. Faithfulness Guaranteed • Job saw beyond his pain to a covenant-keeping God. • Paul teaches that God’s character, not our performance, secures the outcome: “He remains faithful” (2 Timothy 2:13). Living in the Assurance • Rest in the certainty that the God who called you will never change His mind (Numbers 23:19). • Answer His call daily, knowing He treasures “the work of His hands.” • Anticipate the final fulfillment when He calls believers home, a promise sealed by His unchanging faithfulness. |
