A New Commentary on the Book of Job
That is the conception
that the universe,
if it is to be admired,
is to be admired
for its strangeness and not
for its rationality,
for its splendid unreason and not
for its reason.
Job flings at God one riddle,
God flings back at Job a hundred riddles,
and Job is at peace.
He is comforted with conundrums.
Are the two lines that struck me. By hearing from God, not what we want to hear but what God wants us to hear which He IS and He Loves us.
And since I save your blogs, I am able to go at least annually to reread Chesterton’s essay
