Reflecting on God's Greatness
























"Who is it that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?...

Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements--surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were the bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb, when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band, and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors, and said, 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed?'

Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place?...

Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loose the cords of Orion? Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season, or can you guide the Bear with its children? Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their rule on the earth?

Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that a flood of waters may cover you? Can you send forth lightenings, that they may go and say to you, 'Here we are'?

Who has put wisdom in the inward parts or given understanding to the mind?" (Job 32:1-37)

Oh that I might stand in awe of the sheer power and greatness of God and worship Him for who He is in Himself.

This Uncaused One (God) has caused me to be born again into a living hope. Into a sure hope and one day I will see Him, the one who made all things and sustains all things by His Word, for His own glory and in that seeing there will be joy inexpressible and full of glory.

Oh God deliver me from feeble faith and flabby worship.
