“Upon earth there is not his like, Who is made without fear. He beholdeth all high things: He is a king over all the children of pride.”
Job 41:33-34 KJV
God is directing Job to the sea monster Leviathan, “There’s nothing on this earth quite like him, not an ounce of fear in that creature! He surveys all the high and mighty— king of the ocean, king of the deep!” Leviathan is an embodiment of chaos and identified with the demon of the deadly sin of envy, also it eats up the damned thrown into the deep. Thankfully, its end is annihilation in the lake of fire. Here, God is directing Job’s attention to the might of this creature, which before God is powerless. When Jesus’s disciples woke Him up from sleep during the storm at sea to save their lives, He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” and the wind ceased and there was a great calm.” In the storms we face, our response is to release faith in our Almighty God before Whom all creatures tremble! There will always be peace. Let’s learn to operate in faith and not in fear, for then we will always be victorious. Amen!
