Who Alone Can Number the Clouds by Wisdom?

Job 38

³¹"Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades

   or loose the cords of Orion?

³³Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?

   Can you establish their rule on the earth?

 ³⁴"Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,

   that a flood of waters may cover you?

³⁵Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go

   and say to you, 'Here we are'?

³⁶Who has put wisdom in the inward parts

   or given understanding to the mind?

³⁷Who can number the clouds by wisdom?

   Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,

³⁸when the dust runs into a mass

   and the clods stick fast together?

As Job needed a little reminder of the vastness and supremacy of the Lord, He got just that. Sometimes, when the pool of faith seems to be running short, we need the very same thing in our lives. Job 38 has provided the perfect reminder on countless occasions. My God is the God who numbers the clouds by wisdom and looses the cords of Orion (picture above). When I look up at the stars at night, this passage often comes to mind. When all else in the world does not seem right,"The Lord's Answer to Job" seems to put all things in perspective.

Will you trust in & be amazed by this God today?
