Then Job answered the Lord: “I am unworthy

Job 40:1-24
Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!”
Then Job answered the Lord“I am unworthy—how can I reply to you?  I put my hand over my mouth. I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I will say no more.”
Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm: 
Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself? Do you have an arm like God’s, and can your voice thunder like his? Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.
Is Job God's equal.that he calls him to book, and questions his justice? (Job's wild words had brought him dangerously near the sin of Adam and Eve.) 
Why?
Job realized that God is higher than him. Job almost have sinned against the Lord. 
Job admitted that I am unworthy - how can I reply to you?
The second time God spoke to Jon out of the storm.

v1-5 約伯承認的卑賤。神要約伯從不同的地方來看。
約伯要神來回答他。神回答約伯,原理、法則都是神所造的,義人有罪受苦,就有權力要求質問神嗎?
神用權柄來回答約伯,像河馬力大無比,有誰可以制服牠,卻被隱身隱身限制在河裏。我們常常以為自己有理,想要爭辯。權柄在神手中,神可以限制河馬在棲息地,豈不更能管理我們呢?神不是冷酷無情的,河馬都要聽神的,何況我們怎麼可以據理力爭,廢棄神所擬定的原理原則呢?無謂在什麼景況中,都可以來讚美神!

How?
We are nothing without the Lord. May the Lord be my way and my hope.
