Devotion – Proverbs 30

S – 

Who has gone up to heaven and come down? 

Who has gathered the wind in his hands? 

Who has bound up the waters in a cloak? 

Who has established all the ends of the earth? 

What is his name, 

and what is the name of his son—

if you know? 

Proverbs 30:4 CSB

The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – The first part reminds me of Job and Romans 1.  Through simple questions, you see the unlimited power of God displayed in a real sense.  The part where the author asks of his son reminds me how often the OT pointed to the Messiah.  

R – Lord, as “big” as you are, you desire a relationship with me to day.  I am humbled and grateful I get to do life with you today.
