Job 37-39

“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?” (38:4). As Job and his friends concluded their debate about Job’s misery, God himself “spoke to Job out of the storm” (38:1). God painted a picture for Job of the great mysteries of the universe, from the stars, snow, and hail to the instincts of roosters, wild donkeys, and ravens. Rather than explaining Job’s predicament, God reminded him of who holds the universe together. “Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place?” (38:12).

The God who made the stars and “satisfies the hunger of lions” is the One who cares for us (38:39). We can trust that His grace and wisdom are sufficient for our situation.
