A Better Description of God’s Greatness
*“The dead tremble – those beneath the waters and all that live in them. *The underworld is naked before God; the place of destruction lies uncovered. *He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth on nothing. *He locks the waters in his clouds, and the clouds do not burst with the weight of them.*He conceals the face of the full moon, shrouding it with his clouds.*He marks out the horizon on the surface of the waters as a boundary between light and darkness.*The pillars of the heavens tremble and are amazed at his rebuke. *By his power he stills the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab the great sea monster to pieces. *By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent. *Indeed, these are but the outer fringes of his ways! How faint is the whisper we hear of him! But who can understand the thunder of his power?”
