Today's Devotion Job 38:33-36
33 Do you know the laws of the heavens?
Can you set up God's dominion over the earth?
34 "Can you raise your voice to the clouds
and cover yourself with a flood of water?
35 Do you send the lightning bolts on their way?
Do they report to you, 'Here we are'?
36 Who endowed the heart with wisdom
or gave understanding to the mind? (NIV)

Wow - talk about being put in your place! I wonder how long God steamed at the false wisdom of Job's friends before he intervened? Did he wish that he'd let Satan deal with them instead?
It's fascinating to know that Jesus sent the lightning bolts on their way while he was here on earth! When he calmed the storm, did he think about this retort when he told the wind to cease it's blowing?
Throughout this speech of God we see how much he is in the details of every aspect of the world. If we ever wonder if God is truly here with us, all we have to do is read this speech...the longest recorded message he gives directly to his children.
