Job is being just a bit facetious. He rebukes Bildad - you think you're wise? LOL!! His words are a reminder that we are nothing in comparison to God. In fact, even the things we know (or think we know) about God are nothing in comparison to whom God actually is. As Job put it, these things "are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?” (vs 14 NIV)
Those things that we do know about God are pretty great. Just think, there are even more marvelous things about Him that we can't even begin to comprehend!
I have to share a little of my flight back from Austin, TX today, with you. First off, that is why this blog is so late. Flights were booked back to back and there was no time for connecting to wifi anywhere. Then, when I did get home, we went to a fund-raiser supper for our new roof and furnace at the Aura Lutheran Church. I enjoyed being in Texas. It has been very dry (until last night). The landscape is definitely unique - rough - but - beautiful in its own way. It was also a sad time, as I was there for the funeral of our friend and brother in Christ, Pat Whelan. On the flight home today, though, I tried to make time fly, by watching the landscapes below. I kept looking for that green stuff on the surface of the earth. But, about all that I saw was brown, patchwork pieces in various shades of brown. The view began to change the closer we got to Green Bay and then as we crossed the line between Wisconsin and Upper Michigan it was like crossing into another world. Beneath us, there appeared a magnificent flower garden. So far below, the fall leaves appeared as a vast and vibrant garden, as far as the eye could see. The multitude of sunlit lakes and rivers were of various shades of blue as the wispy clouds cast shadows over them. It was absolutely amazing! I have never been on a color tour like that! And all that... is but the outer fringes of His work, just a faint whisper of His glory!
