Can you quit talking and just listen? Job 40-42

How many times does God's Word tell us to be silent and know God?  IF not stated a number of times, it is implied all the more.  Job, after all these chapters of countless chatter, has come to the end of his voice.  He has decided to be silent.  Perhaps in the midst of pain and suffering, silence is a good thing.  Perhaps in the midst of suffering and pain, when we are lost for words to say, we shouldn't say anything.   In these first 30-35 chapters Job and his friends have tried to speak truth and silence each other.   There inability to keep their defenses down from the verbal jabs and talking punches has caused them all to miss what God had for them.  Finally Job decides to no longer speak.  He will now sit in silence as God talks.   Perhaps if he had done that earlier in the story he would have had God's response sooner.  Who knows?  Now God can tell him about God.  Job will now see the majesty of God.  That is what we have to learn here.   God wants to speak to us if we will just keep quiet.
