In Job 38:4-41 and following into Job 39:1-30 the Lord give Job some perspective by demonstrating some of the works of His hands. He talks about the creation of the universe as well as many other grand/large scale activities that he does.

In the modern day church, we do so much talking about the love of God and the personal relationship with God, that we can forget how truly awesome and powerful God is. The danger of thinking of God as only our personal god, is that we can start to think that he works for us, instead of the other way around. This has happened to me and at times, I've found myself praying through my list of requests as if I was giving my order to a waiter!

This is why it was so good for me to read God's words and his own description of his works. It reminds me that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present and does things on a scale that I can't even imagine. It was humbling and it reminds me that in the grand scale of things, I am less then a grain of sand in the ocean. But what it truly does is remind me that God's greatest miracle is that despite all the grandiosity, he loves me enough to sacrifice his only Son to save me, the guy who spit on him over and over. In other words, God's greatest attribute isn't his unending power, it's his unending love.
