April 29, 2011
For all of us who, like Job, have suffered through tragedy and then dared to aim our questions at God, chapter 38 of Jobs book should give us plenty to think about. Imagine what it must have felt like for the great man of the East when out of the whirlwind he heard God say, Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me (vv.1-3). Gulp!
Job must have felt as puny as an ant. As God unveiled His questions in the verses that follow, what He said was as unexpected as it was powerful. He didnt really answer Jobs why questions. Instead, God seemed to be telling him to notice the power and might with which He created this world and to observe His ability to control every element of it. Isnt that reason enough to trust God? Job should have been asking himself.
As one example of His awesome power, God pointed to the sky and told Job to observe two of His awe-inspiring creations: Pleiades and Orion (v.31). Highlighting His grandeur and mans relative insignificance, God mentioned two constellations that demonstrate power beyond our understanding.
This is Someone we can trust. If He has the stars in His hands, surely He can take care of us as well.
Who reigns in awesome majesty:
How can it be You love and care
For such a one as me? Sper
Read: Job 38:1-11,31-33
Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth? Job 38:33
Bible in a year:
1 Kings 6-7; Luke 20:27-47

J'ai combattu le bon combat.
J'ai achevé ma course.
J'ai gardé la foi.
2 Timothée 4:7 (La Bible du Semeur)
Black Watch Piper
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nations call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Welcome to the Canteen, freejohn....we always post the new thread the night before so the night folks can participate, as they are working during the day. AND it is Friday in the sandbox.
My time is almost 5:30p right now in Anchorage, Thursday evening.
