From “More Frightening than the Storm” by Lance Stone

And here all we can really say is that the immensity of the divine power is matched only by the immensity of its mystery. So it is that we have this great but troubling text from Job 38 that we read from, where God overwhelms Job with a vision of God’s cosmic, transcendent mystery. “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?” he asks. In other words, what do you know? What do you understand? Who are you anyway? You understand nothing. Human life is caught up in mystery far beyond human telling and rationalizing and our relentless determination to tame and to domesticate God will forever flounder upon the sheer mystery of who God is.
