Job 37

As I sat down this morning to do my University study one of the excersices I have to do is sit down and meditade on Psaml 8. I love when i have to read and study the Bible for my University.
But while I was sitting down to start reading Psalm 8 I looked thourgh my Bible and i got stucked on Job. Better said on Job 37. I read it and it was like reading a love letter, something so beautiful that I never read before. Some verses especially spoke so much to me and I still can feel the Beauty in it and the Beauty and Love that is in Gods word for us.
I will share the full Job 37 with you and Highlight the verses that so stand out for me.

 
Job 37
New Living Translation (NLT)
 
 “My heart pounds as I think of this.
    It trembles within me.

Listen carefully to the thunder of God’s voice
    as it rolls from his mouth.
It rolls across the heavens,
    and his lightning flashes in every direction.
Then comes the roaring of the thunder—
    the tremendous voice of his majesty.
    He does not restrain it when he speaks.
God’s voice is glorious in the thunder.
    We can’t even imagine the greatness of his power.
“He directs the snow to fall on the earth
    and tells the rain to pour down.
Then everyone stops working
    so they can watch his power.

The wild animals take cover
    and stay inside their dens.
The stormy wind comes from its chamber,
    and the driving winds bring the cold.
10 God’s breath sends the ice,
    freezing wide expanses of water.
11 He loads the clouds with moisture,
    and they flash with his lightning.
12 The clouds churn about at his direction.
    They do whatever he commands throughout the earth.
13 He makes these things happen either to punish people
    or to show his unfailing love.
14 “Pay attention to this, Job.
    Stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God!15 Do you know how God controls the storm
    and causes the lightning to flash from his clouds?
16 Do you understand how he moves the clouds
    with wonderful perfection and skill?
17 When you are sweltering in your clothes
    and the south wind dies down and everything is still,
18 he makes the skies reflect the heat like a bronze mirror.
    Can you do that?
19 “So teach the rest of us what to say to God.
    We are too ignorant to make our own arguments.
20 Should God be notified that I want to speak?
    Can people even speak when they are confused?[a]
21 We cannot look at the sun,
    for it shines brightly in the sky
    when the wind clears away the clouds.
22 So also, golden splendor comes from the mountain of God.[b]
    He is clothed in dazzling splendor.
23 We cannot imagine the power of the Almighty;
    but even though he is just and righteous,
    he does not destroy us.
24 No wonder people everywhere fear him.
    All who are wise show him reverence.”
 
 
So I highlighted and underlined what stood out for me. I love how it uses the nature around us to describe God and to give us a glimps of his power and love.
Take time meditate on his word and he will reveal himself to you.
Reading this I fall more in love with God!!
 
Have  a wonderful week everyone
