👑 Job 41

Job 41 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, ““Can you draw out Leviathan with a fish hook, or press down his tongue with a cord?” 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, “His sneezing flashes out light. His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.” Job 41 opens with these words: ““Can you draw out Leviathan with a fish hook, or press down his tongue with a cord?” The line to keep is Job 41:9: “Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Won’t one be cast down even at the sight of him?” Carry the word “behold” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Job 41:9: “Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Won’t one be cast down even at the sight of him?” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Job 41? Then try this: Read “Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Won’t one be cast down even at the sight of him?” 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.
