I was reading in Job and was brought to tears by what God said to Job. The imagery in Chapter 38 is breathtaking. Here are some of my favorites:
"Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? . . . when all the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? . . . Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place . . . Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth? . . . Have you entered the storehouses of the snow . . . What is the way to the place where the light is distributed, or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth? . . . Who has cleft a way for the thunderbolt . . . Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? . . . Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that a flood of waters may cover you? Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go and say to you, 'Here we are'?"
"Then Job answered the Lord and said: "I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know." - Job 42:1 - 3
