- Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand? Job 26:14 – Our chapter speaks of the great things God does in our world. Such as binding up the waters in the clouds, hanging the earth in space, creating the heavens, and covering the face of the moon. We are amazed at His greatness in these things, but in our passage Job speaks of these as just His whispers, just a small glimpse we get of His power. Then Job asks if these are His whispers, what if God spoke in a thunderous voice? Who could stand or understand? We must remember even the greatest of things we’ve seen God do in our story is but a whisper of His power and He has a thunderous amount of power we haven’t even seen. Let’s not underestimate what God can do then in our world and our own story too. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1478
- He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing. He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not split open under them. He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it his cloud. Job 26:7-9 – Job, in speaking of the greatness of God, reveals his wisdom on creation. He knew how the earth hung in space on nothing, unlike ancient mythologies of the day that said the earth rested on the backs of elephants or giant turtles. He was in awe how rain could be stored up in the clouds and how God was able to cover the moon in darkness. Now for us in the 21st century, we have learned all the science behind all this. We know about gravity, cloud formations, and the moon’s rotation around the earth. Yet even with the technical knowledge about things, we still ought to find ourselves in awe of our God. When we see a sunset and know our hands had nothing to do with it. When we hear a baby laugh, and we think of all the wonders that took place in the womb to create such a life. When we stare at the night sky and know we are barely even seeing the beginning of all that is out there in the universe. When we see all that, let’s find ourselves in awe of God again. Like Job stated, all we can see and know is just a whisper of God’s greatness. Take time today to just ponder on the greatness of our God, and allow that pondering to remind you that all your struggles are easily handled by such a great God.
