In a recent sermon we were examining the creation as described in Genesis chapter 1 and 2. We then turned to a passage in Job chapter 38 where God is speaking to Job…starting in the second part of verse 3…
I will question you, and you make it known to me. Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me if you have understanding. Who determined the measurements – surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb, when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band, and presecribed limits for it and set bars and doors and said, “Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed?
Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place…have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness? Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth? Declare, if you know all this.
I am awestruck that God the creator of the universe would choose to have a personal relationship with me and extend his grace and mercy towards me. One day every knee will bow before him…what a humbling day for those that suppress the truth. Romans 1: 20 For his invisible attributes, namely his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
