🌙 Job 39

Job 39 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, ““Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears fawns?” 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, “She deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers. Though her labor is in vain, she is without fear,” Job 39 opens with these words: ““Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears fawns?” The line to keep is Job 39:11: “Will you trust him, because his strength is great? Or will you leave to him your labor?” Carry the word “trust” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Job 39:11: “Will you trust him, because his strength is great? Or will you leave to him your labor?” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Job 39? Then try this: Read “Will you trust him, because his strength is great? Or will you leave to him your labor?” 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.
