Day 90 (3/31) – Job 36:22-37:24; Matthew 12:9-21
Elihu ends with a flourish about the majesty and grandeur of God and that He is: “great in power; justice and abundant righteousness He will not violate.” Equally majestic, to me, is how the prophet Isaiah’s words are tied to Jesus, that He would proclaim justice to the Gentiles and “in His name the Gentiles will hope.” Both of these passages demand some time of sincere thankfulness before Him. (Congratulations! We have finished our third month of Scripture reading together!)

Day 89 (3/30) – Job 35:1-36:21; Mark 3:1-6; Luke 6:6-11
While Elihu is trying to help Job understand the great differences between God and man and man’s demands of God, Jesus, God in the flesh, is standing in the very real midst of man. He is moved to anger by the way man has misused God’s words for their own power and significance, and He heals a man in spite of their self-possessed authority. This action sets in motion the desire to destroy Him. O God, give us eyes to see You clearly for our own flesh so blinds us to You.

Day 88 (3/29) – Job 34:1-37; Luke 6:1-5; Mark 2:23-38
Let me offer you a challenge for today’s reading: what similarities do you see between Elihu’s comparison of God and man, and Jesus declaring that He was the Lord of the Sabbath? (Can you imagine how provocative that was to the Pharisees? The Sabbath was a great source of power and significance for them, and Jesus was evaporating it.)
