Job 37

Job thirty-seven begins with Elihu talking to Job about the power of God. Elihu says that his heart trembles when God speaks, and  lightning comes out of his mouth. When God speaks, the rain and snow obey. When God breathes, his breath produces ice and freezes the waters. God fills the clouds with water, puts lightning in them, and moves them all over the earth to do as he commands. Man can't comprehend all that God does.

Then, in verse fourteen, Elihu tells Job to stop, listen and consider God's wonders. He asked Job if he knew how to make the clouds obey or how to make them hover in the sky. He asked what we would say to a God like that. Are we even good enough to talk to him? God is beyond our reach and he is exalted in power but he doesn't use that power to make us feel insignificant. Because of this men are in awe of him. Yet this all powerful, all mighty God still wants to hear what we have to say.
