Job 38

Job 38
1 Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words without knowledge? 3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it? 6 Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof, 7 When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, When it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb; 9 When I made clouds the garment thereof, And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it, 10 And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors, 11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began, And caused the dayspring to know its place; 13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it? 14 It is changed as clay under the seal; And all things stand forth as a garment: 15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, And the high arm is broken.
16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep? 17 Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death? 18 Hast thou comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if thou knowest it all.
19 Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is the place thereof, 20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof? 21 Doubtless, thou knowest, for thou wast then born, And the number of thy days is great! 22 Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow, Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, 23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, Against the day of battle and war? 24 By what way is the light parted, Or the east wind scattered upon the earth? 25 Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, Or the way for the lightning of the thunder; 26 To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; On the wilderness, wherein there is no man; 27 To satisfy the waste and desolate ground, And to cause the tender grass to spring forth? 28 Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew? 29 Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? 30 The waters hide themselves and become like stone, And the face of the deep is frozen.
31 Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion? 32 Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train? 33 Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth?
34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover thee? 35 Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, And say unto thee, Here we are? 36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding to the mind? 37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven, 38 When the dust runneth into a mass, And the clods cleave fast together?
39 Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, 40 When they couch in their dens, And abide in the covert to lie in wait? 41 Who provideth for the raven his prey, When his young ones cry unto God, And wander for lack of food?

So last week I was at this youth group a different one than I usually go to but it was really boring and one of the people gave a reference to what they were talking about and it was this chapter. I decided that reading would probably be more interesting than listening to them talk about nothing (you know like when people try to get indepth in the bible and they don't really talk about anything that means anything(kind of like this explanation)). So I read it and it was interesting.

I like it how God Belittles job and doesn't stop short. He shows just how small we are compared to him and how wonderous the earth and space is.

I thought Id have more to say but I can't think of anything. So I guess I'm just pointing out a chapter that I liked.

~VV~

Respect

Well a couple nights ago I had youth group and the youth pastor was talking about respect and he made it sound like he was saying we should give everyone our respect.

now this is going to be a short one but I think that we should be nice to everyone but our respect should be for those who earn it. Because I'd rather be respected than be.... Whatever. Because respect is somthing that it takes more to get than other things, and because of that is more valuable. If everyone got respect well what would be the point. You know? Anyways what are your thoughts?

STARTS AND ENDS

So as i'm writing this it's Like 11:00 at night and i'm thinking. Who in the world says to go to sleep at night?

Everything has a start and end.
Days- mornings and nights
Years- jan 1 to the end of Dec.
Life- birth to death.
Friends
Movies
Books
Seasons.
and what we do with those things are based on the beginings and the ends. New years for instance we only celebrate because technically it's new.
Days- we start by waking up. Breakfast, lunch dinner sleep. And repeat.
I'm mainly talking about days for this.
Our WHOLE society is based on the day timeline. Resturants, either for breakfast or lunch and dinner. Parties, at night usually. School, in the morning almost every day.

Now let's say that all this is because of "the man" (for those of you who don't know who "the man" is watch school of rock) "the man" wants us to be repeatative. He's the one who tells us to go to sleep at night and restart every morning.

So i'm really just thinking what would it be like if we had "days" lasting three tradition days(72 hr). It would change the world.
One. We would have basically 3 versions for every main meal. A breakfast breakfast. A lunch breakfast. And a dinner breakfast. And that repeating for everyone.
We could have one 13 hour block of sleeping at every "day" interval. And three 5 hour naps spaced in between.
Because of a longer period of not resetting like we do every morning, people would get more work done. More advancements would be made with night and everything associated because of more time awake in it.

And because of this Garfield and a million more others will no longer be able to hate Mondays.

Really I was just thinking about how different everything would be and what life would be like. If it would be better or worse or just different. I'd like to hear what you all think so please comment.
