Job 38

Filed under: Uncategorized — by anotherlaurenwoods @ 2:51 am

Job 38:7

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

At the beginning of the chapter God answers Job out of the whirlwind. I feel as though I have been on a long rope bridge over a deep gorge. The first part of Job being one side of the bridge and now that God is speaking I feel as though I’ve put  my feet on terra firma again. Job’s “friends” were something else.That was a long, intense stretch but I am determined to complete Job. The imagery is so rich in this chapter. It’s as if everything has been grey and now we finally have color again.

I chose this verse because of it’s reference to the stars. I stretch each morning and give myself a bit of time to just look out the window and be.  Now the mornings are dark and I stretch with the stars and moonlight. In that short amount of time the stars move from one part of a tree to another, reminding me that we are constantly in motion, moving in space.
