Listen
to the Word
"Where
were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you
understand." (Job 38:4)

When Job questioned God about
the difficulties he was experiencing in his life, God responded with a
few questions of His own for Job. They were all questions about
creation: Were you present when construction began on the
universe? Do you know how to make snow? Did you hang Orion
in the sky? Did you teach the hawk how to fly? After a
barrage of questions like these, Job was forced to admit that he himself
wasn't quite qualified to run the universe, and he would have to leave
that to the God who created it all. Paying attention to creation
can have an equally humbling effect on us today. When we ponder
the magnificence and complexity of all that God has made, it reminds us
that He is infinitely greater than we are.
