We are still reading Job in my girl's bible study and I really loved a passage in chapter 10 today. Job questions God's actions (or what he thinks are his actions) and comes to the conclusion of how crazy it is to think we can challenge/question God. God is all powerful and beyond us in so many ways. I love how Job describes Him here. A wonderful reminder of how great and wonderful He is and how small, and unworthy we are.
His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed? He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger. He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. He speaks to the sun and it does not shine; he seals off the light of the stars. He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea. He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. When he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him. If he snatches away, who can stop him? Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’ God does not restrain his anger; even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet.
-Job 10:4-13
