Job Chapter 39
The Lord continues to speak.
Yet,
the reason for suffering
is still not explained.
Instead,
the Lord speaks about living creatures.
Mountain goats.
Deer.
Wild donkeys.
Wild oxen.
Ostriches.
Horses.
Eagles.
Each of them lives
beyond human control.
Life moves
beyond human understanding.
The Lord asks:
“Do you know?”
“Can you see?”
“Can you rule over these?”
People try to understand the world.
They try to explain it.
They try to control it.
But the Lord reveals
a world of life
that cannot be contained
within human hands.
The wild donkey
does not serve human beings.
The wild ox
does not labor for people.
The ostrich
appears foolish.
Yet even so,
it has been given life.
People tend to measure things
by whether they are useful.
They decide value
by whether something can be understood.
But the Lord shows
that beyond human understanding,
the world still stretches outward.
When you try to see the unseen world, where are you?
Are you looking only
at what can be understood?
Are you measuring everything
by your own standards?
Or are you still looking up to God
before the vastness of life
that goes beyond understanding?
The Lord spoke
through the living creatures.
The world cannot be measured
by human understanding alone.
The works of God
extend far beyond
human control and explanation.
Even in places beyond understanding,
life is still sustained by God.。
