Job 11:7 asks, Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?  Zophar asked a question that by implication said that Job was unable to know the will of God, but that Zophar could.  There are people today who claim to have the ability to understand what God wants of His followers more than others do.  The problem with that is that they have no more access to God than any other believer, since all believers have the Holy Spirit indwelling them and therefore the same access to the heavenly Father.  We indeed might not be able to find God by our searching, but God will find us without searching.  Verse eight adds, It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?  Zophar was correct in one thing.  The ways of God are higher than the heavens and deeper than hell.  God's ways are so much above our understanding that we can only know them by faith in His revelation of Himself to us.  We today know that God's revelation was made complete in Christ, and in Job's day it was made complete in faith in the coming Messiah.  This does not mean that we can claim to know everything about God, but it does mean that we can trust Him to forgive our sins and allow us to have a right relationship with Him, and that this relationship is not based on material things.   Verse nine continues, The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.  As Zophar was saying here, we cannot fully understand the ways of God.  God's ways are beyond comprehension by people and can only begin to be understood by faith in Him.  We can never prove God's existence by any way except faith.  Verse ten states, If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?  Basically, Zophar was saying that God is able to cut people off from Himself or to draw people to Himself and this is true, but we know that Jesus said He would draw all men to him.  No one is arbitrarily rejected by God, but all are called to salvation. Verse eleven adds, For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?  As Zophar says, God does know the true nature of all people, but Zophar was applying this to condemn Job as being vain, or hypocritical in his relationship to God.  Knowing the true nature of God should prevent us from condemning others and never lead to our feeling superior to them.  Verse twelve continues, For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.  I believe that by vain men Zophar meant those who did not believe in God.  They were and still are as intelligent as a young wild donkey.
