worm in Job 17
WURM
This creature shows up in Job 17:14: “If I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father;’ to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘my sister;’” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Job 17:14
“If I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father;’ to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘my sister;’”
What kids can learn
When you hear worm in Job, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Job 17:14 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
