In the book of Job between chapter 38 and chapter 41, we read where God asks Job over seventy questions and Job could not answer one question.
The supremacy of God was on full display in these questions. If we take the first question that was asked in chapter 38:4 God asked Job ” where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
(God knows fully well that Job was not anywhere near to be conceived when he laid the foundations of the earth. Yet, he asked the question anyway. This is not the only question Job could not answer. There are more than seventy other questions that God asked in which Job was silent. Humanity is still in awe as we behold the vast wisdom and
knowledge of God being manifested.
Deuteronomy 29:29
Instructs us that “The secret things belongs to the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong to us and our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law”. Job could not answer these questions because they are the secret things that belongs to God, who is above all things and before all things and by him, and for him, all things consist. Therefore, it is not possible for any human to advise him, but it should be mandatory that all should worship and give him thanks).
I marvel at the wisdom of our God and praise is holy name.
