2024 Day 15 – Job 40-42
After God had challenged Job with some tough questions, we see the response. “Then Job answered the Lord and said: ‘I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You. You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.'” (Job 42:1-3) It took some hard questions straight from God’s own voice, but Job was completely humbled. He realized that his knowledge was nothing compared to the knowledge of the One who created everything. Paul told the Corinthians (and us) something very similar. “If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, he is known by God.” (1 Corinthians 8:2-3)
