Job 41 The Lord asked Job if he could catch a leviathan with a fishhook. The leviathan was a large marine mammal, probably a crocodile. He wanted to know if Job had the strength and know how to control animal. He would more than likely be afraid of a crocodile, but he was not afraid of questing the Gid who created them.

Job 42 Job acknowledged that he was finite and a sinner compared to an Omipotent and Holy God (v. 1-6). He interceded for his 'comforters' v. 7-10. Job was God's servant, note the word servant occured four times in verses 7-8. He was finally given everything he had lost v.12-16. Question, where were his brothers and sisters during his ordeals? It does not matter, God was there with him through the thick and thin of things.

1Corinthians 14.1-20 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Paul encouraged the Corinthian church to follow the way of love THEN desire spiritual gifts. The issue of tongues came up. Some Christians tody do not believe in the gift of tongue. They claim it belonged to another age. While some churches such as the Assembly of God, Pentecostal and Charismatic chruches embraced this gift. Paul's instruction was if a person speak in tongues, there must be an interpreter present to translate for the assembly. We must not be obsessed with speakind in tongues, rather we should follow the way of love (verse 1) and try to excel in ways to build up the church in vers 12.
