🌾 Job 22

Job 22 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,” 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, “who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,” Job 22 opens with these words: “Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,” The line to keep is Job 22:26: “For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God.” Carry the word “delight” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Job 22:26: “For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Job 22? Then try this: Read “For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to 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.
