Job: Who Can Understand God’s Majesty?
Then Job answered:
“How you have helped the powerless
and saved the arm that is feeble!
How you have counseled the unwise
and provided fully sound insight!

To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
Reflect
“How you have helped”
Job’s sarcasm is the sound of a man who wanted a friend and got a lecture. When did someone’s advice leave you more alone? What would have helped? Write it down.
Job
He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters
at the boundary between light and darkness.
The foundations of heaven quake,
astounded at His rebuke.
By His power He stirred the sea;
by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
By His breath the skies were cleared;
His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him!
Job 26:14
Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
Job 26:14

Pray
Praise God for being bigger than all our explanations. Thank Him that even the whisper we hear of Him is enough to trust Him. Ask for humility whenever you talk about Him, and most of all when you talk about Him to someone in pain.
