Job 38
The Message (MSG)
And now, finally, God answered Job from the eye of a violent storm. He said:
2-11 “Why do you confuse the issue?
Why do you talk without knowing what you’re talking about?
Pull yourself together, Job!
Up on your feet! Stand tall!
I have some questions for you,
and I want some straight answers.
Where were you when I created the earth?
Tell me, since you know so much!
Who decided on its size? Certainly you’ll know that!
Who came up with the blueprints and measurements?
How was its foundation poured,
and who set the cornerstone,
While the morning stars sang in chorus
and all the angels shouted praise?
And who took charge of the ocean
when it gushed forth like a baby from the womb?
That was me! I wrapped it in soft clouds,
and tucked it in safely at night.
Then I made a playpen for it,
a strong playpen so it couldn’t run loose,
And said, ‘Stay here, this is your place.
Your wild tantrums are confined to this place.’
Why do you talk without knowing what you’re talking about?

Up on your feet! Stand tall!

Everyone agrees that the universe is amazing. All of creation is a daily display of the awesomeness of God. The discourse of God with Job continues on for several chapters. After He explains the atmosphere, the seas, and the stars, He then turns His attention to the land creatures of the earth.
It appears that God himself is impressed with His own creation.
Sadly, some deny the creator and explain the wonders of the universe with science.
Reading the book of Job would certainly make light of the theories we hear today.
I mean....think about it. Only God could make ALL this R I G H T ...every time.
If you were to dissect the wonders involved in the creation & birth of one human being...the mysteries are unfathomable.
Its good to praise God and be in awe of who He is, what He has done, and what is to come.
