Job 37:5-14
Grandpa and granddaughter were sitting talking when she asked, ''Did God make you, Grandpa?'' ''Yes, God made me,'' the grandfather answered. A few minutes later, the little girl asked him, ''Did God make me, too?'' ''Yes, He did.'' For a few minutes, the little girl seemed to be studying her grandpa, as well as her own reflection in the mirror, while her grandfather wondered what was running through her mind.

(14) ''Stand still, and CONSIDER the wondrous works of God.''
CONSIDER that His work is:
1) A COMPLEX Work
One day a little girl found her grandmothers false teeth soaking in a glass. She merely turned and whispered, ''The tooth fairy will never believe this!''
He is the Almighty, and his works are too complex for us to truly comprehend.
(5) ''God thundereth marvellousily with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.''
Sometimes we end up as turned around as a termite in a yo-yo or a homeless guy on house arrest.
?We don't know all of the reasons for His work or the PURPOSES behind His PLANS.
