The Plan

Majesty of the Almighty

 

 

14 Hear this, O Job;
stop and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Do you know how God lays his command upon them
and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Do you know the balancings of the clouds,
the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge,
7 you whose garments are hot
when the earth is still because of the south wind?
18 Can you, like him, spread out the skies,
hard as a cast metal mirror?
19 Teach us what we shall say to him;
we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
20 Shall it be told him that I would speak?
Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?

21 And now no one looks on the light
when it is bright in the skies,
when the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor;
God is clothed with awesome majesty.
23 The Almighty we cannot find him;
he is great in power;
justice and abundant righteousness he will not violate.
24 Therefore men fear him;
he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.
Job 37:14-24

Elihu ends his lengthy discourse with the words shown above, proclaiming the Majesty of the Almighty. Job's three friends became more and more indignant against Job, and Job became more and more self righteous. But, it is Elihu who ends with the Majesty of God.

22 Out of the north comes golden splendor;
God is clothed with awesome majesty.
23 The Almighty we cannot find him;
he is great in power;
justice and abundant righteousness he will not violate
.

No matter what happens in our day to day life, whether it be good or bad, we must always come to the same conclusion. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalm 8:9

God's ways are not our ways; there is no possible way that we can truly comprehend God and how He works among His people. Job's three friends could not comprehend this, Job could not comprehend this, and even Elihu could not comprehend this.

In faith, we trust and know that God is righteous and that everything He does brings glory to Him and advances His kingdom on this earth. Everything we experience, from birth to death glorifies Him, and bring us, His people, closer and closer to that glorious day when we shall be made perfect in His righteousness and dwell with Him forever.

Praise God for the Majesty of the Almighty!

Why study at Christian Success Institute?

God states in His Holy Word many times that He wants to prosper us. He created a magnificent world full of wealth, beauty and resources for those of His creation who love Him. Christ told us that if we love Him we will follow His Commandments. We are told to study to show ourselves approved. The mission of CSI is to teach Biblical Success Principles while making Christ the focus of our lives.

By seeking Christ, by studying the Word of God, we place ourselves in a position of favor in the eyes of our Holy Creator. We want everyone to learn the principles of Stewardship which will prove us. In the parable of the Servants and the talents, we see that God will prosper us and favor us with prosperity when we use His direction in the way we handle His property.
