Finite limitation






I was once told by my cluster mates about the fact of Rhinoceros beetles. It is one of the strongest animals on the planet in relation to their own size as it can lift up to 850 times their own weight.


How about the human fact? Can we lift up to 850 times of our own weight? 100 times? 10 times? The finite limitation within us is a fact and couldn't be eliminated even you're well trained.


This leads me to the scene where God prompted Job about the limitations of human in chapter 38:


Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Who determined its dimensions and stretched out the surveying line?
What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstone?
Who kept the sea inside its boundaries?
Who commanded the morning to appear and caused the dawn to rise in the east?
Who made daylight spread to the ends of the earth, and bring an end to the night's wickedness?
Have you explored the springs from which the seas come?
Have you explored their depths?
Do you know where the gates of death are located?
Do you realize the extent of the earth?
Where does light come from, and where does darkness go?
Have you visited the storehouses of the snow, or seen the storehouses of hail?
Where is the path to the source of light?
Where is the home of the east wind?
Who created a channel for the torrents of rain?
Who laid out the path for the lightning?
Who makes the rain fall on barren land, in a desert where no one lives?
Who sends rain to satisfy the parched ground and make the tender grass spring up?
Who gives birth to the dew?
Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?
Who make the water turns into ice as hard as rock, and the surface of the water freezes?
Can you direct the movement of the stars?
Can you direct the sequence of the seasons?
Do you know the laws of the universe?
Can you use them to regulate the earth?
Can you shout to the clouds and make it rain?
Can you make lightning appear and cause it to strike as you direct?
Who gives intuition to the heart and instinct to the mind?
Who provides food for the ravens when their young cry out to God and wander about in hunger?


How finite we are. How magnificent God is.


Don't you agree?
