When I approached this paper only one theme came to mind, so I really wanted to write about it. The theme that came to mind is to never expect anything from God. You can ask for things, and have faith in him, but never to expect an answer, or a yes, or anything from God. The Lord always does whatever is best for you, and sometimes that is not what you think it is. This applies to the book of Job because Job kind of expects an answer from God, because of what he has gone through he thinks he deserves an answer. What God does when he answers Job is mind blowing.
   


      I have a few examples from scripture that really stood out to me. One example is a verse from Job 39, its 39:26 "Does the Hawk take flight by your wisdom, and spread its wings toward the south?" This stuck out to me because it really shows the true power God has. It shows how amazing Gods creativeness was when he created the Earth, because he programmed that bird to know how to fly south. That verse just shows Gods true intelligence. The verse shows that Job, although being the humble and faithful man he is, is not even worthy to stand in Gods presence, because Job did not create the Earth, or anything on it. My next favorite verse in Job is Job 40:9.. " Do you have an arm like God's, and can your voice thunder like this?" This verse made me stop my reading, and really think about what situation Job is in right now, The Lord is truly speaking to him, God is telling Job of how unworthy he really is to be expecting an answer, because Job has no arm like God's, or can make his voice thunder. I don't know how I would re-act in this situation. Jobs response to God is just, and he knows he is not worthy, and he says he will repent, and he despises himself.
 


      I think this reveals Gods sovereignty, obviously. I think that more than that it shows God's power, when you read all of those things God says to Job about who God is, and what he has done, it truly is mind bottling. What this reveals about human suffering is that the Lord knows whats best for you, he knows everything in the future, so how could you know whats best? God will provide at all times in the end. Its shows that God is the father almighty, and hes done everything, and he knows everything. You never need to expect an answer, you just need to have faith that God does whats best for you.
