Reading the Bible paragraph by paragraph

conceited

July 30, 2015

God is powerful like the sun (Job 37:21-37:24)

“No one can look on the light

When it is bright in the skies,

When the wind has passed and cleared them.

Out of the north comes golden splendor.

Around God is awesome majesty.

The Almighty Shaddai!

We cannot find him.

He is great in power and justice.

He is great in abundant righteousness.

He will not violate.

Therefore mortals fear him.

He does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.”

The light of the sun is like God, we cannot look at it directly when it is bright in the sky. The wind and the clouds help us to see it. The almighty Shaddai comes in his awesome majesty from the north. This was a common Canaanite theory that God came from the north. We cannot find him. He is great in power, justice, and righteousness. He will never violate justice so that mortals fear him. However, beware of the people who think that they are wise and conceited in their own eyes.
