Job 38:1-21
God answered Job out of the storm, He said:"Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge?"
Who marked..., have you ... Can you... God asked many questions to Job.
God breaks in just when Elihu has finished his list of excellent reasons why Job cannot expect an answer!
God is almighty, far and away above humanity. But he is also near, He hears, and He cares.
Job had imagined himself putting his case to God, asking his question. But imagination is not reality. It is God, no Job, who asks the questions now.
Although the succession of searching questions Job finds his opinion of himself shrinking, his concept of God expanding. His mental image of God had been altogether too small. The God who confronts him is God on a different scale altogether.
Why?
God knows everything, includes what they were debating in the world among Job and his friends.
God is great that the scale we can not image. God is Almighty, far and away above humanity. But God is also near, He hears, He cares.
How?
I love you Oh my God! You are almighty beyond what I can say. Praise be to you, Honor is yours and Glory belongs to you.
