Job 26

Job 26:14

"Behold, these are the fringes of His ways;
And how faint a word we hear of Him!
But His mighty thunder, who can understand?"

Job has just described the amazing things that God has control over.  He has told of how He controls all the activities of this natural world, from light and darkness, to rain in clouds.  All of those processes that make our world habitable, and beautiful, are all under God's direct control.

We understand all of this, all the ways God runs our world.  However, even with all we can see, we can't hear him.  We cannot comprehend His words to us.  They are both faint and overpowering.  They are both the still small voice, and the all-encompasing blast.  We we to even slightly understand what He is trying to say to each of us, we would be overwhelmed.
