I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Job 38-42.

    Now we come to the conclusion of the Book of Job. God grants Job his request and allows Job to make his case directly to Him. Job had been critical of God’s decisions. God points out that Job does not know enough and is not powerful enough to understand why God did what He did. God asks Job some questions which the writer presumed that no human could answer. Mankind has researched and found answers to many of those questions, but the key question still stands, “Were you there when the Universe was created? Did you see how God established the rules which it follows?” Those questions are key because Job was not there, and neither were any of us. All that we can know of that is what we can figure out from the clues which God has left us. There are many people in the world who question and challenge God the way Job did. And yet, it was Job whom God commended at the end, not his friends who defended God with blind faith.
