Wed.’s Devo - The Wisdom of God

Read: Job 38-39
God comes to Job to answer his cry but first he has a few questions to ask Job. The first was: where was Job when he created the earth? Then God gives us valuable facts about creation that Genesis doesn’t. The stars put off sound or music. Creation scientists have discovered that the canopy around the earth’s atmosphere was made of crystal which would act as a radio to channel the song of the stars to earth. So Adam had his own piped-in music as he roamed the garden.
God spoke of the highest heights where the stars dwell to the lowest parts of the sea where there are hidden springs and gates into death and the shadow of death. Death and the shadow of death are two different entities. Death is concrete and speaks of violent death where shadow of death means a shade of death or the grave where everyone will be resurrected one day to face mercy or judgment/ reward or final death.
Next God spoke of the hidden mysteries of heaven like where snow and rain are made, and the deep that is frozen.
In Chapter 39, God calls Job’s attention to the things on earth that He created. They are all so diverse yet in His wisdom God created them to teach us about Him. God seems to be asking Job if he has stopped complaining enough to consider the greatness of creation and His wisdom.
Lord, this is such a sobering reminder that You are wisdom and everything You do is for reasons higher than we can fathom. We worship You!
