"Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone—
while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels a shouted for joy?
“Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt’?
“Have you ever given orders to the morning,
or shown the dawn its place,
that it might take the earth by the edges
and shake the wicked out of it?
The earth takes shape like clay under a seal;
its features stand out like those of a garment.
The wicked are denied their light,
and their upraised arm is broken.
“Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep?
Have the gates of death been shown to you?
Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness?
Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know all this.
“What is the way to the abode of light?
And where does darkness reside?
Can you take them to their places?
Do you know the paths to their dwellings?"
Job 38:4-20
The majesty of God is astounding. The expanse of the sea is breathtaking. The Lord almighty takes our breath away by the work of his hands. His glory shines continually, day after day! From sunrise to sunset, His glory shines.
May we know our limits, be humbled like Job, and follow the instructions of the Almighty. Be awestruck by the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the beginning of wisdom.
Pray for others to be filled with the holy fear of God. Pray that others would have holy encounters with Jesus so that they may see His beauty and be captivated by his love. Awestruck!
