Sometimes I think I know....

Rick Snodgrass
 
Sometimes I think I know stuff. And sometimes I think I’m entitled to know…even what needs to be left in God’s protective custody. Sometimes I think I know stuff…I even know that He knows that I don’t even know what I don’t know, but I forget. Then, I look at some of the 77 questions—kind, funny, in-your-face, thought provoking questions—that God asks Job, when Job thought he knew stuff. Questions that remind Job, and me, that He is God and I am not.

The ostrich flaps her wings grandly

Are you as strong as God?
 
Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
 
Who kept the sea inside its boundaries?
 
Have you ever commanded the morning to appear
and caused the dawn to rise in the east?
 
Have you explored the springs from which the seas come?
 
Have you explored their depths?


Do you know where the gates of death are located?


Have you seen the gates of utter gloom?


Do you realize the extent of the earth?
Tell me about it if you know!
 
“Do you still want to argue with the Almighty?
    You are God’s critic, but do you have the answers?”
