Tonight we began our “final approach” of landing the Job plane as we begin chapter 38. But that doesn’t mean we will land the plane tonight. Oh, no. After two weeks of covering 34 chapters dealing with the conversations of Job’s four friends, we must slow the plane down again for final approach. If you attempt to land the plane at that speed it will result in a crash. So we must slow it down before landing.
The closing chapters of Job are holy ground. Its “taking-off-shoes” ground. This is the holiest ground of Job in all of the 42 chapters. Because for the first time, God speaks to Job. Why has God remained silent? Why does God choose now to speak and not when Job has inquired of Him earlier? What does this say to us about the timing of God?
And the first words out of God’s mouth is revealing Job has been walking in darkness. What do you do when you walk in darkness of not knowing what God is doing and why God is doing what He is doing? Or why He’s not doing what you want Him to do?
