"Then Job spoke again:
2 “How you have helped the powerless!
How you have saved the weak!
3 How you have enlightened my stupidity!
What wise advice you have offered!
4 Where have you gotten all these wise sayings?
Whose spirit speaks through you?"
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that these words from Job would be dripping with sarcasm. What do you think?
Verses 5-14:
those who live beneath the waters.
6 The underworld is naked in God’s presence.
The place of destruction is uncovered.
7 God stretches the northern sky over empty space
and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 He wraps the rain in his thick clouds,
and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.
9 He covers the face of the moon,
shrouding it with his clouds.
10 He created the horizon when he separated the waters;
he set the boundary between day and night.
11 The foundations of heaven tremble;
they shudder at his rebuke.
12 By his power the sea grew calm.
By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.
13 His Spirit made the heavens beautiful,
and his power pierced the gliding serpent.
14 These are just the beginning of all that he does,
merely a whisper of his power.
Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?”
I wonder if this is something that Job witnessed in his day (verse 12 reference to great sea monster)? I feel like if he did get to witness this, I would definitely want to go back and time and see it for myself too! Who knows? Maybe THIS is the real story of the loch ness monster! =)
"Father You are all powerful! I thank You that You are mindful of us and that You love us enough to not abandon us to our sin and failings. Thank You for saving us! I pray that each day, Your power would be made manifest within us as we live our lives for Your Kingdom and glory here on this earth. It's in Jesus' name that I pray, amen."
