Day 266
Job 38:35
"Can you send lightnings, that they may go and say to you, Here we are?"
After God had listened to Job and his friends argue back and forth, He began by revealing to Job how little he knew and how unqualified he was to speak with authority about God. He asked many questions that let . Job know how great He was. Questions like the one in Job 38:35 told what God could do He could send lightnings forth and they would obey and say, "Here we are." God is totally awesome!
Our God is not to be compared with any other. We stand ignorant in His presence, for His wisdom is fur beyond ours. We stand weak before Him, for He is the source of all strength. When our accomplishments amaze others and we act proudly about them, we look silly in His eyes, because His technology is light years ahead of ours. Whatever we can invent or imagine is limited to what is already out there in the realm of the spirit. For example, doors that automatically open is a fascinating invention to those who first encounter them, but Peter witnessed a superior version of that same operation almost 2,000 years ago. He went to the city gate, and it opened without anyone touching it. God's secret agent, who was sent to rescue Peter from prison, used remote control and created a temporary automatic system that opened the city gates, which did not even have electrical wiring. To us that was supernatural, but not to God. He knew exactly what he was doing and how to do it again anytime He wanted to.
Every scientist who says there is no God thinks he is smart. Some of them think man is the ultimate source of intelligence. Today, many are being forced to admit there is a power beyond their human comprehension and a source of strength and ability that humans cannot contend with. What they choose to call it and how they respond to it will determine their eternal destiny. If they do not bow their knees and respect God now, one day He may jerk the slack out of them after they have tried to explain Him away and say, "Can you send lightnings, that they may go and say to you," Here we are?"
Let us be glad we already know God as our Father. Let us be proud of Him and allow the knowledge of His greatness to inspire and encourage us, for this God is our God, and He has made His grace available to us. God's grace is His willingness to use His power on our behalf, even though we have done nothing to deserve it. Because of His grace, which we can obtain to assist us in our times of need, we have all we need to overcome every obstacle and defeat every enemy.
I am very proud of my God, who can do anything within the boundaries of His Word. There is nothing too difficult for Him. I will not be intimidated by anyone or anything. Whenever someone or something tries to intimidate me, I will respond, "Can you send lightnings that they may go and say to you, Here we are?"
