Connect Job 41:13 with another scripture emphasizing God's supreme power. Opening the Text “Who can strip off his outer coat? Who can approach him with a bridle?” Seeing God’s Power Echoed Elsewhere “To whom will you compare Me, or who is My equal?” says the Holy One. “Lift up your eyes on high and see who created these. He brings out the starry host by number; He calls each one by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.” Shared Emphasis: God Alone Is Supreme • Both passages use rhetorical language to underline human inability and the boundless ability of God. • In Job, the untamable Leviathan exposes the limits of human strength; only the Creator can even speak of harnessing this creature. • In Isaiah, the sheer scale of the cosmos—stars named and maintained—presses the same truth: no power rivals the Lord. Zooming In on Key Phrases • “Who can…?” (Job 41:13) – A direct challenge to human pride. • “To whom will you compare Me…?” (Isaiah 40:25) – God answers the implied challenge Himself, making it clear that the comparison category is empty. Implications for Everyday Faith • God’s supremacy over both chaos (Leviathan) and cosmos (the starry host) means every situation we face is already under His sovereign control. • Worship becomes the natural response when beholding such unmatched authority; fear and anxiety shrink before the God who commands sea monsters and galaxies alike. • Confidence in Scripture’s literal accuracy is strengthened: the same Lord who masterfully rules visible creation can be trusted in every promise He gives. |
