Job 38:2-4. “Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.” WORDS WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE. It is often we speak without carefully considering what we say. We may think we have all the answers to the problems come what may. But when we get into the presence of God, then there is a change - For when we consider all the works of God around us, we feel a strange Humbling of our pride, our knowledge is so limited and we are so weak That the silence of our lips and thoughts are very becoming, and we think. As God unveils to our astonished eyes things that long were hidden - And we have no smart answers to give, and from God, none was bidden.
In the presence of Almighty God our mouths are finally shut. As opening line upon line, and vision upon vision is revealed so much. Expressionless because of hearing His voice we bow our heads in awe As the Great Eternal God explains His works and all we thought we saw Is now considered one by one: sun, moon, stars and seas Are spoken of as God in words of divine wisdom explains to me - His ways, His works, His wonders in land and sea and sky - And now it is useless for me to speculate or even wonder why.
The boundaries of the seasons, the unseen control of the waves, The form and reasons for the clouds and how the waters God saves In the sky above withholding it in its place until the time and place is right - And God releases the needed water in the day or night To where He chooses to nurture, bring blessing or correct - And it is up to me to watch and listen and finally connect With God and instead of willful rebellion or personal independence, Submit to God Almighty and appreciate all the blessings He sent.
“O Great and Mighty God: with the sense to say little, I wait here before Thee for Thy guidance and control over me to be made clear for the needs of this day. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
