Job
38 – 41 Jehovah Vs. Job
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.”
