Near the end of the book of Job, there’s this great
discourse between Job and God. Job
questions God because, of course, Job is suffering. God answers him in the most powerful way. Here’s a bit of it:
God says, “Where were you when I laid
the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand…Who gives the
ibis wisdom or gives the rooster understanding?
Job says, You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without
knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too
wonderful for me to know.
There is no way we can possibly
understand God’s infinite power and smarts when he created the world – wow –
what a mighty God we serve. And just
looking all the animals he created, the intricacies of their makeup, the colors
of their feathers, and the sounds that they make – we can’t possibly fathom the
genius of our God’s creative hand.
And yet we question his involvement in
our lives….
Job finally gets that.
Our minds are finite.
Our understanding is limited.
But we serve a wonderful God whose mind is, well,
mind-blowing. And his understanding is
without limit.
I want to get that.
