Hey, this is a year in the Bible with Daily Grace. We are in the book of Joe. We'll be talking through Job 37 through 39 today. If you're listening to this episode, you learn something, you enjoy it? Leave us a comment. leave us a review. That always means a lot to us.

So Scott, we're nearing the end of the book of Job and we really reach a very important and climactic

moment in today's reading, don't we? Your favorite part. My favorite part, as I've said so many times.

Yes. Yeah, Job at last gets this response from God, which he's been asking for for the entire book, which we'll get to in a second.

Let's, you know, first we start with Elihu's monologue wrapping up in chapter 37.

And his final word in all this is just to give an extended reflection on God's power and majesty, which, you know, awesome.

Praise God for that.

But as we've seen, a lot of who's essentially making the same error as the earlier friends did by assuming there's some kind of connection between Job's suffering and sin. And he says,

God's not going to violate justice. And so if God's not in the wrong, Job must somehow be in the wrong here.

And so with that, we finally wrap up the advice from people who have limited knowledge.

Yes.

And that brings us to.

To God, yeah.

And Lighthouse chapter really serves up this section nicely, because God finally starts speaking.

He addresses Job with this question, who is this who obscures my counsel with ignorant words?

And Job's been basically wanting to meet God in court.

Now God meets him and starts with this barrage of rhetorical questions.

Like, where were you?

Can you?

Questions which demonstrate that Job is not in charge of the universe.

Yeah.

Probably not the response that Job was looking for.
