- By HAROLD L. LTJNDQUIST, D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. "'"THE earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, end they that' dwell therein'.' (Ps. 24:1). The man who knows the Lord recognizes that the material and the spiritual world are both God's, and that there is in the final analysis no dividing- line between the secular and the sacred. To keep our thinking straight about the story of Job, we quote an" excellent, summary by Dr. B. L. Olrnstead: "Our lesson today stresses the works of God as seen n nature. The longer lesson of a few chapters (Job 38-41) consists of the whole of the Lord's answer to Job out of a whirlwind after the dialogue with the three friends is completed, and after a youthful bystander, Elihu, had undertaken to give Job an answer (chs. 32-37). "While Elibu was speaking, a storm came up and Elihu used it : to portray the greatness, mystery and unsearcbableness of God (ch. 37). Elihu uttered many truths, but he did not rid himself of the error that Job was suffering for his sins. When he had finished, the voice of God was heard out of the , storm" (Arnold's Commentary). We find in the selected Scriptures of our printed lesson 1. The God of Creation (vv. 1-7). JOB'S friend Elihu had made a rather good speech, but he had missed the real point of Job's testings. So the Lord rebukes him as. one who darkens counsel "by words without knowledge." How aptly that expresses much that is going on in our day. Brilliant men, leaders in science, economics and government, but without the true knowledge which comes from a simple faith in God, are now fill-
AT THE CHURCHES'
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Sacrament" is the subject of. the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of ' Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, July 13. The Golden Text is: "Let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth" (I Corinthians 5:8). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following- from the Bible: "And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body" (Matthew 26:19, 20, 26). The Lesson-Sermon also includes, the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, ".science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "His followers, sorrowful and silent, anticipating the hour of their Master's betrayal, partook of the heavenly manna, which of old had fed in the wilderness the persecuted followers of Truth. Their bread indeed came down from heaven. It was the great truth of spiritual being, healing the aickand casting out error" (p. 33).
ing this already confused world with millions of words. . , . ' - . - : Yes, words, words, words, that really darken the truth about God ' and his plan for the world. They flow from the radio, the preps, . the pulpit, from everywhere, and only add to the confusion.
God now brings Job to his feet
(v. 3). He is to stand up like a man! and answer God. Where was he' when God laid the foundations of the world? If he is so wise, perhaps he knows how God suspended the world " in space? " Perchance he would like to get out his little measuring line and try to put the plans of the Almighty through the little channel of his human brain! " These are questions that the professed leaders of our day need to answer, and they need also to " come iU by any chance they could humble themselves) to the place that Job did (40:4): "I will lay my hand upon my mouth." Job is also reminded that the God of creation is also t n. The God of Life (vv. 16-18). ';
THE God who put the springs in the bottom of the sea, and who
has measured the breadth of the
earth., is also the God who controls
life and death.
: Men have tried down through '
the ages to search out the secret .of life, and at times they have talked as, though they had discovered Ik Then one discovers that Ithey have just wrapped up their Inability to fathom it In some new scientific words, and we still have
not taken that matter in our own hands. That may well be a real blessing, for only the infinite God has the wisdom to determine the limits of man's days, and the manner of his .entry into the gates of death. How "good it is to leave such matters in his mighty but tender hands! That leads us to our next point. " He is ' III. The God of Order (w. 22, 28, . 31, 41). HE MAKES the millions of snowflakes in thousands of intricate patterns no two alike, but all in . marvelous geometric; patterns Can . Job understand that in fact, can you and I understand how he .does , it? : " : - -. ;- - Who feeds the birds? Who keeps the stars moving in such order . that , man can ' calculate ' their movements down to the very minute? What about the rain, the. hall, the lightning? Look at the - animals and - their marvelous . adaptability- 4o their surroundings. The man who thinks all these things are the results of chance, , ot who talks about "the laws of nature," only , reveals the utter smallness of his own mind, and his complete lack of comprehension of the Almighty God. $Ule4 by sstexn Kt.wipasu vaia.
