Job 5:8-10
“But as for me, I would seek God,
And to God I would commit my cause—
Who does great things, and unsearchable,
Marvelous things without number.
He gives rain on the earth,
And sends waters on the fields.”
When I see rain I might think that it’s a blessing as it’s beneficial for the farmers, or I might even complain because it inconveniences me. I certainly wouldn’t think that it is a great and incomprehensible wonder. But Eliphaz, one of Job’s friends, does. In his mind, rain really is one of the great, unsearchable wonders that God does. Why this difference in reaction? What can we learn from Eliphaz’s words? What can we learn from the rain?
