"Where were you when...?" This is the question started that God spoke to Job after Job made the assumption that his circumstances were an indicator that God had left him. And God responds with correction - when he asks Job where he was when God created the foundations of the earth.
This passage pushes back on our tendency to assume or presume that we know God's intentions, we know why things are the way they are, or how they will unfold. We don't know from one moment to the next what is coming our way, and we have no understanding of why God allows what He does. These verses call to the root of our pride and cull it out - and help us to put God in His rightful place, and us in our place, submitted to the sovereignty and knowledge of God.
Join me today as we unpack these verses from Job 38:4-7.
