May 30, 2010 - The Lord's Answer To Job

Meditation on Job 38

God's answer to Elijah was in a still small voice but God's answer to Job was out of the storm. I must have been a very dramatic and fearful experience for Job and his friends. God answered him by questions. (v. 1-3)

God drilled into Job the fact that He was the creator of all things in the universe including mankind. Therefore He established the dimensions and measure of the earth. While the angels were singing, God set the foundation and setting of the earth. He restrained the sea and firmament. He set the order for the nature and the morality for mankind. He gave the origin of life and death. He alone had all the knowledge of the phenomenon of nature and light and darkness. He dictated, prepared and benefited all things in earth including mankind. He formed and managed all the galaxy in heaven. He controls and gives understanding to man. He is the provider for all animals.

Facing all these vast and immeasurable knowledge, what is man that he can question God? May we all once again acknowledge His supreme and dominant greatness and holiness and bow down to worship Him.
