Job 25,26

Job 25 was too short to write about today.  And, I'm not sure how I feel about Bildad's viewpoint that creation isn't perfect.

By his power he stills sea storms,
by his wisdom he tames sea monsters.
With one breath he clears the sky,
with one finger he crushes the sea serpent.
And this is only the beginning,
a mere whisper of his rule.

Despite Job's current situation, he still has an uncanny viewpoint of the power of God.  It keeps coming out in these arguments with Bildad.  I love how he describes God.  You can hear his immense awe for him.  There doesn't seem to be resentment because of his situation.  He is able to separate the two things. 
I think that's what so many people today.....me.....have a difficult time doing.  My current situation in life, doesn't have any bearing on the awesomeness or power of God.  That is eternal and grander than I can possibly imagine.
