Therefore have I uttered that I understood not

“Be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when God made promise to Abraham… saying, surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.” (Hebrews 6: 12- 15)

We being weak may break our promises, but God never does. We being so smart and knowledgeable know so little. It reminds me of poor old Job going through all his trials. The “Lord answers him out of the whirlwind and said,… Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou has understanding.” (Job 38:4)

The Lord is saying two things to Job here. He’s saying I God made the world and everything in it, but he also is saying you were there. You are my child, and I am your Father.

Finally Job answers. “I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.”(Job 42:2-3)
