Today I read Job 38, the beginning of when the Lord speaks to answer Job. Today I considered that God did create everything.
Earth Is God’s Territory
The Lord spoke about establishing and controlling the earth and teaching the animals (Job 38:1-41). The Lord’s voice was out of a whirlwind. God asked who is talking without knowledge. God asked who was there when the morning stars sang, when God made the earth and set boundaries for the sea. God asked if they can command the morning and shine light on wickedness, can they explore the depths of the sea and controlled the gates of hell. God continues to ask questions about how the earth works and is taken care of including light, darkness, snow, rain, canyons, thunderstorms, ice, dew, unvisited fields, and constellations. God talks about who teaches the animals like ravens and lions how to behave.
Questions and Thoughts for Today
God formed the earth (Genesis 1), a system that is so balanced that it is the only planet in our solar system that has life. God made it where the earth circles the sun at the right distance and speed to stay in place with even a moon that impacts the tides and flow of water on the earth, making sure water flows and life grows.
What do you think about the blessing God gave us in creating the earth for us to live on?
