Job 38:2
“Brace yourself like a man: I will question you,
and you shall answer me.”
The Lord Interrogates
The Lord is speaking here and seems to be speaking in a tone of authority. We can find ourselves questioning Him and expecting Him to answer us. Here we see the Lord saying that He will question us and He expects us to answer Him. When was the last time you allowed the Word of God to question you and you answered? Have you ever sensed His still small voice speaking to you? It is a good thing to sense the searching of God and respond when you hear His questions. He could be asking us why we are doing something. He could be questioning us about our mischaracterization of Him. He could be asking us about something we have done. We would do well to put ourselves as the ones being questioned rather than always questioning Him. As we give Him answers we might be surprised to find out that His questions were well directed and intended to bring out of us that which we might have been blind to. Brace yourself. He will question you. You shall answer Him.
