Job 38-42: Finally, God Speaks to Job
What does God say when you demand answers from Him? After chapters of silence, in Job 38-42 God finally speaks, and His answer isn't what anyone expects. Instead of explaining Job's suffering or defending His decisions, God shows up in a whirlwind and asks Job 77 questions. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Can you command the morning? Do you control the constellations? The answer, of course, is no. And that's the point. God doesn't come as a defendant to answer Job's ...
