11. The Lord Answers Job Job 38-42
Man knows so little about God’s ways and action in the natural world, thus it is wrong for him to charge God regarding His moral government of the world.
Man should recognize his limitations and submit to God’s government.
Since Job is so unqualified to answer these questions about God’s natural world, he is unfit to sit in judgment of God’s moral government of the world.
