Religion & Spirituality
Can you imagine how this scene must have sounded? The picture painted in this passage is stunning, but I just wish we could hear the actual audio. Since I first read this story, I have only read the LORD’s response as one of righteous anger. “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?” God sounds angry, doesn’t he? But will you allow me to speculate for a moment? What if God was speaking with authority but was not speaking with anger in his voice? Reread these words this week, and for that matter, read the rest of God’s response to Job. In many ways, it is some of the most beautiful poetry the Bible holds. The descriptive phrases used to personify the Creator are majestic and inspiring. Of course, this is the authority of God speaking to Job and reminding Job who He is. He is the Creator. He is the one who laid the foundations of existence in place. Again, I ask, what if God isn’t angry, but maybe, just maybe, God is actually trying to remind Job who is on his side.
