When God Speaks - Job 38-39

Wow! Every time I read these two chapters I sit back in my chair and relax in God's sovereign control and deep, deep wisdom. You can't help but wonder how BIG God is after reading this. We try, as theologians and preachers, to explain God to people. For some reason we are obsessed with defining God for others so that He fits into their brain in a way that matters. But, if you read chapter 38 and 39 you can fit God into your brain. There is very little pattern in the human brain for a Divine God. Yes, we were created in the image of God - so that gives us the ability to comprehend Him. He has place into us the capacity to know Him. But, read these two chapters: Can you with certainty say that you can fathomed just how BIG God is? God expresses these two chapters at Job's counselors. He wants them to know how vain and inadequate their counsel really is. He is showing them how little they know and how futile their wisdom is compared to God. We need to bask in the sunlight offered by these two chapters and those that follow. When God speaks we ought to listen and learn and stand in awe!!
