Am I Enough – Power, Intelligence, and Sea Dragons

Greetings Dear Reader,

Job’s reply is simple and brief.  He questions the source of his friends’ knowledge.  He wonders how sure they are that their advice comes from God.  He points out that God is both powerful and intelligent. 

I need to always be aware that God is intelligent.  He is not as simple as others would make him.  His understanding is far above mine.  He asks me to trust him .  That is all I can do if I am to follow well. 

I would be remiss if I did not mention that there is a sea dragon to deal with in this story.  We will get to him later but he pokes his head above the surface here.  Enjoy.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store."

Job 26:1-14 

Then Job replied to his friends, 

(2) "You have helped the person who has no power and saved the arm that isn't strong.  (3) You have advised the person who has no wisdom and offered so much assistance.  (4) To whom have you spoken these words, and whose spirit has spoken through you?  (5)

"The souls of the dead tremble beneath the water and so do the creatures living there.  (6) Sheol is naked in God's presence, and Abaddon has no clothing.  (7)

"He stretches out his heavens over empty space. He hangs the earth on nothing whatsoever.  (8) He holds the water in his thick clouds, and the clouds don't even split under its weight.  (9) He covers his throne by spreading his cloud over it.  (10) He marks the horizon on the surface of the water at the boundary where light meets dark.  (11) The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished when he yells at them.  (12) With his power he calmed the sea. With his insight he killed Rahab the sea monster.  (13) With his wind the sky was cleared. With his hand he stabbed the fleeing snake

(14) "These are only glimpses of what he does. We only hear a whisper of him! Who can understand the thunder of his power?"
