God's Control Job 38


Read the passage: Job 38




1) God is not threatened by man's assertions. 
( V3 ... for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. ) 

2) That which God has established is still in His hand. 
( V8-11  the sea ) 
( 12-15 the morning ) 
( 22-23 snow and hail ) 

3) God is a God of purposes: His purpose remains. 
( V15  from the wicked their light is withheld) 
( v 27  to satisfy the desolate and waste ground)

4) God is not really in need of man's assistance. 
( V28 - Hath the rain a father? ) 
( V29 - Out of whose womb came the ice? ) 

5) God's plan needs no alteration nor improvement. 
( V33 - Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven ) 

6) God will not yield up His control. 
( V 35 - Canst thou send lightnings, ) 

7) God's control is life's balance. 
( V39 - Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? )
 ( V41 - Who provideth for the raven his prey? ) 


Because God is a God of purpose, He can bring to pass that which concerneth me. 
Why should I doubt if God's promises are true? His word proves they are. 
Why should I question God's timing? He has appointed its bounds. 
Has God declared? Shall He not so do? 
Has God spoken in vain? 
Has God yielded up His control? God's word to my heart is sure.
