Job, 39

Commentary

Job 39 is a chapter that speaks to the power and majesty of God. It begins with a rhetorical question from God, asking Job if he knows when the wild goats give birth or when the deer calves are born. This is a reminder to Job that God is in control of all of creation and that He is the one who determines the timing of all things. The chapter then goes on to describe the strength and power of various animals, such as the wild donkey, the wild ox, and the ostrich. These animals are described as being so strong and powerful that they are able to break through the strongest of barriers. This is a reminder to Job that God is even more powerful than these animals, and that He is the one who is ultimately in control. The chapter ends with a reminder to Job that God is the one who gives strength and power to all of creation. He is the one who gives life and breath to all living things, and He is the one who determines the timing of all things. This is a reminder to Job that God is sovereign over all of creation and that He is the one who is ultimately in control.
