What is the meaning of Job 9:10? He Job’s focus is unmistakably on the LORD Himself. • “He” reminds us that all glory rests in God alone, not in human wisdom (Psalm 115:1). • God is eternal—“Before the mountains were born… from everlasting to everlasting You are God” (Psalm 90:2). That eternal nature undergirds Job’s confidence even in suffering. • Scripture shows God personally involved with His people—calling Abram (Genesis 12:1-3), speaking to Moses (Exodus 3:14), shepherding Israel (Psalm 23:1). Job’s statement continues that testimony: God is active, not distant. does great things Job highlights the scale of God’s works. • Creation itself showcases greatness: “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made” (Psalm 33:6). • Providential care—sending rain (Job 5:10), sustaining every creature (Psalm 104:27-30). • Redemption’s story—parting the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-31), preserving a remnant (Isaiah 37:32), and ultimately giving His Son (John 3:16). • The psalmist echoes Job: “Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them” (Psalm 111:2). beyond searching out God’s greatness stretches past human comprehension. • “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable” (Psalm 145:3). • Isaiah records God’s own words: “My thoughts are not your thoughts… as the heavens are higher than the earth” (Isaiah 55:8-9). • Paul marvels, “Oh, the depth of the riches… how unsearchable His judgments” (Romans 11:33). Because God’s ways transcend ours, Job can trust even when circumstances seem unfair or unclear (Job 13:15). and wonders without number Job celebrates the endless catalogue of divine wonders. • “Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done… were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare” (Psalm 40:5). • Every sunrise (Lamentations 3:22-23), every answered prayer (Psalm 65:2), every miracle in Christ’s ministry—“There are many other things that Jesus did… if every one of them were written, the world itself could not contain the books” (John 21:25). • The phrase assures us that God is not limited to a few notable acts; His marvelous works continue in every generation (Psalm 145:4-6). summary Job 9:10 magnifies God’s person and actions: the living God performs mighty deeds no human can fully trace, His ways are beyond investigation, and His wonders are beyond counting. Recognizing this lifts our eyes from circumstances to the Sovereign who rules all, inviting humble awe, steadfast trust, and heartfelt praise. |
