"Now gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me!" Job 38:3 (NASB) or "Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me." Job 38:3 (NIV) Get ready to take this like a man - because I'm going to say some things and you're going to listen and then give me a response (my version). In other words....MAN UP!
Pretty strong words. This is actually God talking to Job. But I'm taking it to heart in 2 ways: 1) He has the right and privilege in my life to ask me anything and nail me to the wall. 2) I am discovering a source of strength and comfort in God's Words.
Recently, I've felt challenged and greatly compelled to approach someone in the same manner and ask them, "What are you thinking?" Is it my place? I don't know, but I know what will happen to me if I don't say something soon. So, I want to make sure I'm speaking - not of my own opinion, but one that is based on God's Word. I just want to do it the same way - ask questions in a bold and courageous way!
