Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements-surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb, when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band, and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors, and said 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed'?
Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place..?
Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness, that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home?
~Job 38:4-12, 19-21
I don't know about you, but I can't answer "yes" to any of those questions God placed before Job. And that is something I take great comfort in.
