How does Job 9:10 connect to other scriptures about God's miraculous works? Job 9:10 – A Snapshot of God’s Unlimited Power “He does great things beyond searching out, and wonders without number.” Job’s Testimony Repeated in Job • Job 5:9 – “He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.” • Job 11:7 – “Can you fathom the deep things of God or discover the limits of the Almighty?” Job consistently affirms that God’s acts are countless, unfathomable, and beyond human investigation. The Psalms: Worship Rooted in Wonder • Psalm 40:5 – “Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done… they are more than I can recount.” • Psalm 72:18 – “Blessed be the LORD God… who alone does marvelous deeds.” • Psalm 136:4 – “He alone does great wonders—His loving devotion endures forever.” • Psalm 145:3 – “Great is the LORD… His greatness is unsearchable.” The psalmists echo Job’s language: God’s miracles are innumerable, His greatness unsearchable. The Prophets: Miracles Proclaimed to the Nations • Isaiah 40:28 – “His understanding is beyond searching out.” • Jeremiah 32:17 – “Nothing is too difficult for You!” • Habakkuk 1:5 – “Be utterly astounded! For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.” • Daniel 4:2-3 – “How great are His signs, how mighty His wonders!” Prophets invite people to stand in awe of works that defy explanation—just as Job declared. The Gospels: Wonders Made Visible in Christ • John 2:11 – Water to wine, the first of Jesus’ “signs” displaying His glory. • Luke 8:24 – Wind and waves stilled with a word. • Mark 5:41-42 – A little girl raised from death. • John 21:25 – “If every one of Jesus’ works were written down, the world itself could not contain the books.” Christ’s miracles give tangible proof that the God of Job still does “wonders without number.” Acts and the Epistles: Ongoing Miraculous Power • Acts 2:22 – Jesus “accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs.” • Ephesians 3:20 – God “is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.” • Romans 11:33 – “Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments.” The early church experienced the same limitless power Job celebrated. Key Threads Linking Job 9:10 with the Rest of Scripture • Countless wonders – Scripture never attempts to total God’s miracles; instead it insists they are beyond number. • Unsearchable greatness – Whether in creation, providence, or redemption, God’s works outstrip human comprehension. • Continuity of power – From Job’s era to the apostles’, God’s miraculous activity is consistent and unchanging. • Call to awe and worship – Each passage invites believers to respond with reverence, trust, and praise. Living Response Because God still “does great things beyond searching out,” we live with confident expectation. The same Almighty who filled Job with wonder is actively working today—often in ways we cannot anticipate, always in ways that magnify His glory. |
