God's Bigness Part 4 of 6


In the middle part of the book of Job, Job and his friends all speak of how big God is.  Consider what they say of God:
Chapter 9 He is wise in heart and mighty in strength—who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded? —he who removes mountains, and they know it not, when he overturns them in his anger, who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble; who commands the sun, and it does not rise; who seals up the stars; who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea; who made the Bear and Orion, he Pleiades and the chambers of the south; who does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number. Behold, he passes by me, and I see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him
Chapter 12 With God are wisdom and might; he has counsel and understanding. If he tears down, none can rebuild; if he shuts a man in, none can open. If he withholds the waters, they dry up; if he sends them out, they overwhelm the land. With him are strength and sound wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are his. He leads counselors away stripped, and judges he makes fools. He looses the bonds of kings and binds a waistcloth on their hips. He leads priests away stripped and overthrows the mighty. He deprives of speech those who are trusted and takes away the discernment of the elders. He pours contempt on princes and loosens the belt of the strong. He uncovers the deeps out of darkness and brings deep darkness to light. He makes nations great, and he destroys them; he enlarges nations, and leads them away. He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth and makes them wander in a trackless waste. They grope in the dark without light, and he makes them stagger like a drunken man
Chpater19 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
Chapter 25 Dominion and fear are with God; he makes peace in his high heaven. Is there any number to his armies? Upon whom does his light not arise
It is said of God: He redeems, He accepts, He restores, He raises up, He judges, He punishes, He listens, He gives life, He takes life, He offers hope.
That is a GREAT BIG GOD!!
