Job 26

" 1-4 Job answered:
"Well, you've certainly been a great help to a helpless man!
You came to the rescue just in the nick of time!
What wonderful advice you've given to a mixed-up man!
What amazing insights you've provided!
Where in the world did you learn all this?
How did you become so inspired?

5-14 "All the buried dead are in torment,
and all who've been drowned in the deep, deep sea.
Hell is ripped open before God,
graveyards dug up and exposed.
He spreads the skies over unformed space,
hangs the earth out in empty space.
He pours water into cumulus cloud-bags
and the bags don't burst.
He makes the moon wax and wane,
putting it through its phases.
He draws the horizon out over the ocean,
sets a boundary between light and darkness.
Thunder crashes and rumbles in the skies.
Listen! It's God raising his voice!
By his power he stills sea storms,
by his wisdom he tames sea monsters.
With one breath he clears the sky,
with one finger he crushes the sea serpent.
And this is only the beginning,
a mere whisper of his rule.
Whatever would we do if he really raised his voice!" "
-The Message

This is too cool. I love this. I had to add in the first part of this chapter because I just thought it was so funny. The guy Job was talking to was trying to say to him, "God doesn't even think that the moon and the stars are perfect, how much LESS, then, does he think of mere HUMANS!" and THAT (above) was Job's response. He was quite sarcastic, and I like that. "OH! What WISDOM you have offered me! Thank you!" hahah

But check out what he says, and try to get that visual in your head of what he's saying...
"He spreads the skies over unformed space,
hangs the earth out in empty space.
He pours water into cumulus cloud-bags
and the bags don't burst.
He makes the moon wax and wane,
putting it through its phases."

And it goes on to read even more! That!... Is just TOO cool! I love that! It's a pretty good eye opener to just how BIG my God is... he's a pretty big God... pretty amazing to have done all these things. And it's so difficult for me to speak with non-believers, who don't believe there's any God (not in a disrespectful way, but it's just difficult) because you present to them, "Look at this earth we live on. It is constantly spinning on its axis in the exact degree where it is constantly moving to where we have day and night, and if it where thrown off the axis at the slightest measure, that would all be thrown out of whack. It is in the exact position from the sun that if it were any further from it, we would all freeze to death and if we were any closer to it, we'd burn to death," so on and so forth. These are facts, people! Things proven in the same science that everyone is so quick to agree with and believe in, but yet be hesitant to believe that God is the one constantly working it, holding it in it's place. It's just mind-baffling to me!

God,
You are simply amazing. There's no other word I can think of to describe you in this moment. Amazing. Everything about you is amazing. Thank you for holding the world in your hands. Thank you, that while doing ALL OF THAT, you still hold my LIFE in your hands. You are amazing. Holy Spirit, be with me today. Thank you for showing me a glimpse of your amazement. Stay with me. I'm so happy to be back in your arms. I love you.

amen.
