Job 9:01 says, Then Job answered and said,  Job again waited until Bildad was finished speaking before responding, just as he had with Eliphaz..  It is too bad that we often do not seem to have that same ability.  Verse two adds, I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?  He acknowledged that God could not enter into a relationship with evil people, but asked how anyone of their own ability could make themselves just with God.  We know that the answer is that we cannot.  If people were able to justify themselves before God, then the death of Jesus would have been unnecessary.  Verse three continues, If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.  Job said that if God were to ask us a thousand questions, we wouldn't be able to answer even one.  I don't believe that he meant asking us something trivial but asking us questions that show we know anything that would make us on par with God.  As Paul would say, we see through a glass darkly.  If we begin to define God by our understanding, we will always fail.  Verse four states, He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?  True wisdom comes only from God.  His wisdom comes from His heart, His very being.  Since God is all wise and all powerful, Job asks who can stand against God and prosper.  It might look temporarily like the evil prosper, but God sees things from an eternal perspective.  Our limited strength and knowledge will never stand against God.  Verse five adds, Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.  Job continued to speak of the power of God, Who not only created the mountains, but could remove them as well.  Even the mountains could not stand against God's anger, so what hope did man have of doing so.  Verse six continues, Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.  We need to remember that God sustains not just the earth but the universe in the proper orbit.  It is not from some freak accident, but by the will of God that there is order in the universe.  In the next three verses, Job continues to speak of the power of God.  Verse seven states, Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.  Verse eight adds, Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.  Verse nine continue, Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.  As I had just stated, God not only sustains the earth, but also the sun, stars, and all the heavenly bodies.  We either believe that God is Who He says He is and has this power, or we deny Him.  God cannot be less than He says He is.  Job acknowledged God to be Who He said He was, and so must we.  Verse ten says, Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.  Job said that we can never know all the great things and wonders that God does.  What we can know is that God loves all people enough to send His Son to die to redeem everyone who will believe in Jesus Christ.  Verse eleven adds, Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.  Job said that when God passed by him at this point that he was unable to feel God's presence.  We know as followers of Christ that if we ever feel that somehow God has forsaken us, we only need to look to the Holy Spirit for assurance that God is with us, no matter what.  Verse twelve continues, Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?  I believe that Job was asking who had the power to stand against God or the wisdom to question Him.  Even if our life seems to be overwhelming us and we cannot understand why, we need to simply continue living by faith.  We do not have to understand everything in life, only that God redeems us forever through Christ.  Verse thirteen concludes, If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.  Though God has a right to be angry with those who sin against Him, through Christ His anger is withdrawn.  The only way we can stand before God and not face His anger is through faith in Christ as Savior and Lord.  For Job, this was faith in the coming Messiah, or Redeemer.
