The Fringes of God's Ways

Job 26:14 - “Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint a word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understand?”

Job refutes his opponents by speaking of the wonders of God in creation. Yet, he states "these are the fringes of His ways." Secular society would aim to limit or exclude God altogether from creation. However, He goes far beyond that as Job describes. What we see with our human eye and mortal understanding is but only a "fringe" of His overall wisdom and grandeur. His power is incomprehensible and without limit. That is why we only hear a "faint" word of Him when He whispers to our souls, "I created all this and so much more than you will ever know this side of eternity."

Beloved of God, may we cry out to Him that He might speak a bit more often and not with faintness of breath. May we hear His loving voice regarding all He has done. For in so doing, will we understand that He does all things right and good. May our love and faith grow exponentially as He reveals Himself to those for whom He gave everything.
