Then Job answered the Lord : “I am unworthy—how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth. I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I will say no more.” (Job 40:3-5 NIV, 11-25-13)
Job cries “uncle”, but God’s not done. You’ll notice this is Job 40, but the book has 42 chapters. God’s got a couple more chapters of correction left. But why? Why not stop when Job said, “Got it!”
Just because we think we’ve got it doesn’t mean we’ve got it at the level God desires. His lessons go deep, so frequently His teaching continues after we think the class could be over.
[Father, take as long as you like to teach me as deeply as you want to teach me.]
