What do dinosaurs and dragons have to do with suffering? In this final portion of God’s response to Job, the Lord describes two enormous creatures—behemoth and leviathan. Far from myth or metaphor, these creatures were real, powerful, and terrifying. But why would God bring them up now?

Stephen Davey walks you through Job 40–42 and shows how these “monsters” are actually instruments of comfort. God is reminding Job—and you—that if He created creatures as massive and fearsome as these, He surely has the power to govern the hardest moments of your life. Job’s suffering had left him devastated and desperate for answers. God didn’t give him explanations—instead, He gave him a creation tour.

Whether you’re battling doubt, confusion, or sorrow, this episode will encourage you to trust your Creator. These final chapters reveal that God’s control over dinosaurs and dragons is a vivid picture of His authority over everything. If He governs the fiercest animals, He can surely handle your greatest fears.

Don’t miss this fascinating and deeply practical episode. It will challenge your view of creation—and strengthen your confidence in your Creator.Stephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback
