Elohay Kedem – God of the Beginning
Were you there?
A question full of challenge which you presented to Job,
the man who had everything
and lost it all instantly.
He questioned You
in his limited knowlege,
You responded to his human fallacy:
Were you there?
An arrogant sounding question,
but is it arrogance to state the truth?
Does not arrogance flaunt its questions
in your face? Does it not demand you to answer us,
mere clay in your hands?
Were you there?
No, Job wasn’t. He wasn’t there
when You separated light from darkness
and created heaven and earth.
No, Job wasn’t. He wasn’t there
when you formed man from the dust of the ground.
In Your omniscience you knew the action would bring sorrow
to You. But, the relationship created between You and man
from specks between your powerful hands, would be worth
the pain of sacrificing Your only Son.
Were you there?
No, Job wasn’t there when You turned Your back
on Yeshua – Job never had to experience the anguish
connected with severing ties from your own precious Child.
Were you there?
A question full of challenge;
however, articulated,
Elohay Kedem,
in your ceaseless love.
By asking, ‘Were you there?’
Job was undone, but not defeated.
Your question provided restoration
and brought Job to a new genesis.
It is Good.
