As we continue our journey through Job, we come to a dialogue between Job and God. Rather than providing words of comfort in Job’s suffering, God points Job towards his power as the creator of the universe. God’s omnipotence  throws Job’s creatureliness into stark relief.

This is an opportunity to hear God’s side of the story of Job. He calls Job to consider who he is – and we are invited to do the same. There seems to be a contrast when Jesus speaks about being a suffering servant. But here is the paradox of the God we serve.
