In Job 39 and 40 God continues to question Job. This time He speaks of the creatures He has made and asks if Job has done the same or if he is able to care for them as God does.
Job answers that he is of small account in comparison with God. He knows he has no right to speak with Him.
God questions the accusations Job has made against Him. He asks if Job has put down the proud or punished the wicked. God continues on speaking of His power over His creation.
In Philippians 2 Paul addresses the fact that we humans have a tendency to think about ourselves first rather than caring for others. He encourages us to look to others’ interests over our own. He tells us that this is the way Jesus was. Even though He was greater than all of us, He became our servant and ultimately our sacrifice. It was because of his sacrifice that God exalted Him and made Him Lord of all.
We try to make ourselves greater in our own eyes, only to in the end bring ourselves low in God’s eyes. When we make a point of looking out for others God lifts us up. Paul encourages us not to complain and argue since it can cause us to sin.
Paul speaks of sending Timothy and Epaphroditus to them to help them in their struggle of arguing with one another.
