Reflections

 12″Have you ever in your life commanded the morning,
         And caused the dawn to know its place,

¹³That it might take hold of the ends of the earth,
         And the wicked be shaken out of it?

 16″Have you entered into the springs of the sea
         Or walked in the recesses of the deep?
   
¹⁹“Where is the way to the dwelling of light?
         And darkness, where is its place,
²⁰That you may take it to its territory
         And that you may discern the paths to its home?

 24″Where is the way that the light is divided,
         Or the east wind scattered on the earth?
 25″Who has cleft a channel for the flood,
         Or a way for the thunderbolt,
 ²⁶To bring rain on a land without people,
         On a desert without a man in it,
 ²⁷To satisfy the waste and desolate land
         And to make the seeds of grass to sprout?

Job 38:12, 13, 16, 19, 20, 24-27

God asks Job a series of questions about creation and whether or not he can do the things God does.  God displays His power to Job.  God is the one that commands the morning.  God is the creator of all things.  There is no one like God.  There is no one greater or above God. 

Have you ever marveled at the things of this world?  Do you think about how God brings forth day and night?  It is amazing how all the seasons work together.  God brings sunshine, rain, snow, hail, thunder and lightning.  These are things that simply demonstrate the awesome power of God.

We never have to be afraid of the things that happen in our lives because God is in control.  Even if things do not go our way today, God will command a new day tomorrow and things will be renewed.  So let us not worry about things that are not in our control, but rest in knowing they are in God’s control.
