Scripture lesson:   Job 38:1-7 God humbles the human

Time to reflect: This is the heart of God's response to Job's complaining about having it hard. In essence it says: “I'm God and you're not!” Sometimes there be things of importance beyond ourselves. Sometimes there are processes that we don't understand. Sometimes God's universe doesn't work out to our personal preferences.

Moving through the day: How do you respond when going through a trial? Pray for objectivity and patience.

Scripture:

 1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said:

 2 "Who is this that darkens my counsel
       with words without knowledge?

 3 Brace yourself like a man;
       I will question you,
       and you shall answer me.

 4 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
       Tell me, if you understand.

 5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
       Who stretched a measuring line across it?

 6 On what were its footings set,
       or who laid its cornerstone-

 7 while the morning stars sang together
       and all the angels [a] shouted for joy?
