Jehovah Vs. Job. Job 38-41

 

Job 38 – 41 Jehovah Vs. Job

 

This lesson shows that God begins where we are and teaches and brings us to where God wants us to be.

There is a storm brewing and God answers Job out of the whirlwind. He says, “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?... Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?”

Paul says in Romans, creation speaks of God, the person of God, and the wisdom of God, the power of God. Creation reveals the greatness of our God. How Great He is! This is the impression we are bound to get, as God speaks of the fact that He is the Creator, and He knows much that man does not know.

God is simply making the point to Job that His creation is beyond the understanding of man. That His creation reveals His greatness. One can know about God through His creation, but creation will not bring a man to a saving knowledge of God.

 

Job 40

 

Job had been attempting to instruct God. He has been attempting to tell God something, and he is in no position to do that because he has been speaking words without knowledge.

Job then says, “I should have kept quiet, Now I see I am vile.” If we could see ourselves as God sees us, we couldn’t stand ourselves. When we get into the presence of God, we will acknowledge that we are vile.

 

Job 41

 

No man is in any position to pass judgement on God. Job says, “I know that you can do everything, and that no thought can be withheld from you.”
