1. Where were you? (38:1-41)

No human being was there when God created the heavens and the earth. But the morning stars sang, and the angels shouted for joy. These verses proclaim God's sovereignty over the earth and sea, light and darkness, over snow and rain, over the constellations and clouds and lightning. God's creation of the environment of the world in which we live is too marvelous for us to imagine.

2. Who understands the animals? (39:1-40:5)

God provides food for the animals. He designed and watches over the marvelous ways of the lion, the goat and wild donkey. The great strength of the wild ox is only exceeded by his stubbornness; the ostrich is foolish and joyful--one of God's jokes! The horse's strength, the hawk's keen sight are all God's gifts. God asks Job to do a better job if he can. Job has nothing to say. He is overwhelmed by God's greatness and his own unworthiness (40:4)
