Then the Lord Answered Job...

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
"Who is this who darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?
Now prepare yourself like a man;
I will question you and you shall answer me."
Job 38: 1-3 (NKJV)

So begins the first of the two discourses which God delivers to Job. Just when you think Job could use a little TLC, he gets hit instead with the stark reality of who God is.

God, help me to keep silent when I lack knowledge. Help me to 'prepare myself like a man' and to answer You.
