Read Through the Bible in a Year 2018 Day 162: God Questions Job

Good morning, everyone!

Today I read Job 38-39.

In today's reading, God speaks, and questions Job.

He basically says "Are you God, that you understand all My ways?"

One verse I really wanted to share was this one:

Job 38:4-5 - "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding, Who set is measurements? Since you now. Or who stretched the line on it?"

Who was there besides God when He formed the earth? Who created its measurements?

How powerful God is!

How can we possibly hope to understand Him? How can our understanding ever compare to His?

God then asks Job if it is by his own understanding that the animals find food, or that an eagle is able to fly.

The way I see this, is that God is testing Job one last time to see his reaction. How will he answer? Will he rail against God, now that he knows he has His ear? Will he demand answers? Or will he remain righteous and humble?

Join me tomorrow when I read Job 40-42 to find out!
