In the book of Job, we are often taken by Job’s sufferings. While it is certainly a good read and faith builder, we mustn’t miss an incredible glimpse of God Almighty as He reveals Himself intricately in the midst of Job’s crises.

If we keep reading long enough, we will see a dialogue that magnifies the majesty of God, and we see what we may otherwise miss about His nature and sovereignty.

He lays out before us how He has a “treasury for the snow and a place where the hail is made and stored.” He gives us the secret of how a lightning bolt goes nowhere without His command and follows His specific path to strike.

We see how He has placed many animals in their specific habitats and designed them with unique tendencies that only He knows intimately. Even the deer gives birth by His command.

This majestic God of ours gives us a peek at His power through His creation and most importantly His Lordship and authority over it all. All things are under His command and dare not act without His consent.

We see the oceans have boundary lines and the thunder is acknowledged as “the tremendous voice of His majesty” (Living Bible Translation)

He declares, “He clothes the seas with clouds and thick darkness and barred them by limiting their shores.” Every wave is limited to its place and space by His sovereign rule.

We read of “springs from which the seas come from” and He lets us know subtly of His “walking in the source of their depths.”

He points out there is a proper “sequence to the seasons” and each day rises the sun by His command, causing the morning to appear again and again.

We see the Eagle mounts up at the Lord’s command and makes her nest high on the cliffs per His instruction.

This is the God, Elohim, whom we serve. The Creator of ALL things.

“Mother Nature” does not exist. Let us remove this from our language.

He is the one who “holds back the stars” and knows the “home of the east winds.”

The one who “dug valleys for the torrents of rain” and “causes the rain to fall upon the barren ground so it is satisfied with water.”

He is the one of divine Providence who has set all things in place and in motion. The earth is His footstool.

Majestic is He and worthy of praise!
