And where were you when I laid the foundations of this earth?
What causes a man to repent? When he hears the words of God? When he humbles himself before the Everlasting to Everlasting Hope. When he bows his heart before Divine Providence giving full sway. When he sees with the eyes of his heart that God even provides prey for ravens---why not for me? Job 38:41.
God calls to Job to compare his little life with God's Everlasting One; compare the Omniscient God with his limited knowledge; compare the Mighty Power of God in the seas where we cannot find Him, with our limitless wordless power.
From a whirlwind God speaks. That's enough to get anyone's attention. "Dress for action like a man. I will question you and you make it known to me: Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?" Job 38:4. Where are you, Adam? Where were you, Job? And where am I?
COME BOLDLY p. 201
"Be yourself exactly before God, and present your problems, the things you know you have come to your wits' end about." Oswald Chambers could not have said it more fittingly for my life, this day. Wits' end. So, help me tie the knot and hang on. Make us different this day as we pray to be strong and fear not. "Say to those who have an anxious heart, "Be strong; fear not!" Isaiah 35:4.
