🔥 Job 13
Job 13 opens with these words: ““Behold, my eye has seen all this. My ear has heard and understood it.” The line to keep is Job 13:3: ““Surely I would speak to the Almighty. I desire to reason with God.” Carry the word “surely” from that verse into the rest of the day.
Job 13 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, ““Behold, my eye has seen all this. My ear has heard and understood it.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.
Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Behold, he will kill me. I have no hope. Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.” Job 13 opens with these words: ““Behold, my eye has seen all this. My ear has heard and understood it.” The line to keep is Job 13:3: ““Surely I would speak to the Almighty. I desire to reason with God.” Carry the word “surely” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is Job 13:3: ““Surely I would speak to the Almighty. I desire to reason with God.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in Job 13? Then try this: Read ““Surely I would speak to the Almighty. I desire to reason with God.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
““Surely I would speak to the Almighty. I desire to reason with God.”
