God is supreme. He is the source of wisdom and is not able to be truly challenged by man. From time to time we may think we can argue or fight with him on some real basis, but the truth is that he is God and God alone. We aren't.
I really enjoyed reading the end of Job where God kinda let Job have it. God says, "Brace yourself like a man, because I have some questions for you, and you must answer them. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much...Who kept the sea inside its boundaries as it burst from the womb, and as I clothed it with clouds and wrapped it in thick darkness?...Where does light come from and where does darkness go? Can you take each to its home? Do you know how to get there? But of course you know all this! For you were born before it was all created, and you are so very experienced!"
Wow - such sarcasm there at the end. I love how at times we can get so snippy with God as to assume that he can even experience our frustration from a mortal point of view. The reality is he can. He was mortal in Jesus. The other part of that though is that he was also perfect, as he was the maker of clouds, sea, darkness, and light. That's the beauty of the Gospel.
Even here in Job we're seeing the root of our motivation to worship. The majesty of a Creator strangely mixed with the realness of mankind. Thank you God for choosing to be our earthly Savior while still fulfilling your perfection as Creator.
