▒▒▒ Matthew 10:24~33
The book of Job has a total of 42 chapters. In the book of Job, God appears in chapters 1 and 2, but does not appear in chapters 3 to 37. Then, in the last chapters 38 to 42, he appears. When God praises Job for fearing him, Satan says that Job has a reason to fear God. So Satan tries to test whether Job really fears God. God does not allow Job's life to be touched and allows Satan's temptation. Job loses everything he has. You lose all your property and even your family. Friends came and gave him advice, but it didn't help him. God appeared from the storm and spoke to Job. “Where were you when you made the earth? Where were you when you made the sea? Where were you when you made the stars and the sun in the sky?” God creates and operates the earth, the sea, and the stars in the sky. Not only that, but God takes care of the living deer and the young.
The text asks us who God is. We fear those in power, but they cannot kill our souls. Therefore, what we should really fear is the God who is in charge of our souls. A sparrow appears in the text. At that time, the sparrow was a common and inexpensive bird. So, when worshiping God, those who could afford it offered the sacrifice as a one-year-old calf, but the poor offered sparrows, which are easy to obtain, instead of calves. Jesus said that even though two sparrows are sold for only a penny, God does not allow them to fall to the ground. Are you not more valuable than sparrows? In the same way, God saves us and kills us, and at the same time He takes care of the little sparrows.
