Job 39:1-30
Q.1. Were all the animals and birds made the same? Do they all conduct themselves the same way? What creative genius and control had Job exerted? – (Job 39:1-30)
Job lived back in the time of the patriarchs, long before wise Solomon did all his zoological research (Job 1:1-3 c.f. 1 Kgs.4:29-34). God asked about the varied ways, and the uniqueness of mountain goats, wild donkeys, wild ox, ostriches, horses, hawks, and eagles. Though all are animals, each one is so different. Even if Job could have answered some of the questions, he had nothing to do with their creation – 26 “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars …? 27 “Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up …? (Job 39:26-27). How weak and limited is man in his understanding, and how lacking in knowledge of how to create any living thing. How, then, can we sit in judgment on the Creator of the heavens and the earth? – 33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! 34 For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counsellor? … 36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen (Rom.11:33-34 & 36).
