00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,680
Day 150, or May 30. Is your God too small? Our thoughts today are rooted in Job chapter

2
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:19,320
38, verse 4. Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me if you understand.

3
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:25,720
And now the big picture surrounding this verse. After all his questions and doubts, now Job

4
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:32,320
is on the spot in front of God. Elihu has already challenged him to think how great

5
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:40,920
God is, but now God asks Job where he was at the very beginning of time. Job is flabbergasted

6
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:47,320
as God proceeds to ask him about all the animals of creation. He describes a great variety

7
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:54,120
of animals, but thankfully doesn't mention a kangaroo or a duck-billed platypus. That

8
00:00:54,120 --> 00:01:01,000
would have left Job truly gobsmacked, I'm sure. Job knows he is unable to do many of

9
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,040
the things that those creatures do. He is not the strongest or most able of them, but

10
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:15,680
he is the one who dares to question God. And now today's action step. In my quieter

11
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,700
moments I have often wondered what it will be like in heaven being able to talk to many

12
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:27,640
of the great men and women in the Bible and have plenty of time to do it properly. I have

13
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,640
to say that I have never thought of having a debate with God, but Job did. Of course

14
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:41,320
he lived so long ago that he predated Abraham, Moses, Elijah, and most of the other Old Testament

15
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:48,280
greats. To debate with God is not something I would relish. I know how little I know,

16
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:54,320
and the more I read the Bible the more I have to acknowledge that it would be no contest.

17
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:01,360
I believe when we see God for who He is, we have no choice but to worship Him. However,

18
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:08,240
the great news is that God came down to us and became a human being in Jesus Christ.

19
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:14,720
That's how great He is, and this is an actual event rooted in history. Otherwise, how would

20
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:21,600
we know what year it is? Remember the words of John the Baptist in John chapter 3 verse

21
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:29,320
30. He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less. May this be true

22
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:48,360
for each of us, and may we see our God as the one who is truly worthy of our praises.
