"Behold, I am insignificant; wheat can I reply to You?Job got what he wanted. God has come down to answer his challenges. He wanted to know why God was punishing him, why he was suffering when he had not done anything wrong. Now He's shown up, and is answering the question. Suddenly, Job realizes that he wasn't prepared for the answer after all.
I lay my hand on my mouth.
How often do we ask questions that we aren't prepared to learn the answers to? What happens to us when we do ask, and find out? Is it shocking? Humbling? Do we learn the mistakes of our arrogance? Or do are we simply shocked into silence, realizing that we should have kept our big mouths shut?
