Listen to Pastor Nick read the Firestarter and Job 40:3-14.
God responds to Job in a manner very different from the “friends” of Job. They are into debate, to set the mind and mouth going in the search to solve the mystery of evil. God’s tactic is to silence Job’s tongue so that he can peer through the lens of God’s eyes and see God’s world.
The Lord presents Job with some large animals of the wild. God invites him to enter their world and to exit Job’s limited one. The secret is to be released from the obsession of his own thoughts, to place himself again into the mystery of the universe.
When you find that you are being obsessed with problems, look out the “window” of your world and look at the Lord’s. Get involved in something that is fun for you, so that in the joy of pure living, you give God glory.
God’s wisdom and power are beyond our capacity to understand. In God’s own time, the scales of justice will be balanced.
