Please read Job 38. The LORD is speaking.

Meditate on verses 4 and 21. The LORD is speaking.
Where were you when I laid
the foundation of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.
You know, for you were born then, and
the number of your days is great!
With reproving sarcasm, the LORD asks Job 29 questions, jolting him back to reality. Let God’s Words give you the jolt you need to remember who you are and Who God is. Pray Job 38:2-12, 21, 25-27, 36, and 41 as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, forgive me for darkening counsel
by words without knowledge.
Forgive me for attempting to instruct You.
LORD, I need You to instruct me!
Only You were there when You laid the
foundation of the earth. You set its measurements
and laid its cornerstone. I will sing with the morning
stars and shout for joy because of You.
You enclosed the sea with doors and made a
cloud its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band.
You place boundaries on it and set a bolt and doors,
saying, ‘Thus far you shall come, but no farther, and
here shall your proud waves stop.’
You command the morning and cause
the dawn to know its place.
The number of my days is so finite; help me, LORD!
You have cleft a channel for the flood
and a way for the thunderbolt, to
bring rain on a land without people, on
a desert without a man in it, to
satisfy the waste and desolate land and
make the seeds of grass to sprout.
LORD, please rain on my wasted and desolate soul.
Let Your life sprout in me!
Put wisdom in my innermost being
and give understanding to my mind.
God, I need Your nourishment! I’m crying out to You!
In Your name, Jesus~”
