Job 38:1-3 ” Then the Lord answered Job out of the storm. He said, ‘Who is this that darkens My counsel with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’ “

In rapid order, between Job 38:1 and 42:6, God asks more than 70 questions of Job. With none of then related to Job’s suffering or God’s vindication…but rather to help Job realize that God’s ways are higher than man’s. The Old Testament Prophet Isaiah penned it this way, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord.” (Isaiah 55:8) With question after question, God made it crystal clear…He is worthy of our complete trust even in the most desperate of circumstances…enabling us to then rest in the hands of a Sovereign and good God Who is not our enemy. (I Peter 4:19)
