November 19, 2012 – Job 38
Now we get the famous questioning of Job by God.  The questions are right there for anyone that questions God, His will, His actions, the reason He allows one thing and not another.  The questions we ask about God today, He still would question us in the same way.  There are a couple of interesting ones that popped out at me.  Asking if he had walked the depth of the ocean.  Back then, did they have any idea what that really meant, how deep the ocean actually went down.  Even though we have sent things down to look at “the hole in bottom of the sea”, we have never walked it.  Could we ever take Orion’s belt.  Another one that was really beyond them then, not knowing about stars and galaxy’s and space or what Orion’s belt really was, yet still completely beyond us today even though we know exactly what Orion’s belt is.  I thought the description of “storehouses” of snow was interesting.  It is as if all the snow that will ever fall for all time is in a big silo in heaven.  God goes and gets some out every once in a while.  Once its gone, no more snow. 
Is there really any of these questions we can answer any better than Job could have 3,000 plus years ago.  For all our knowledge, all our experience, all our breakthroughs, we still cannot even begin to scrap the edge of God’s power and knowledge.
