God continue's to challenge Job

Job 40-41

1. Can you discredit my justice and condemn me so you can say you are right
2. are you as strong as me? Can you thunder w/ a voice like God
3. Can you catch a crocodile w/ a hook or put a noose around it's jaw
4. can you tie it w/ a rope throught the nose or pierce it's jaw w/ a spike
5. will it beg for mercy or implore you for pity
6. will it agree to work for you
7. can you make it your slave for life
8. will it be your pet or your kid's pet
9. will merchants trade it
10. will it be killed by darts or harpoon

in Job 41:34 it is implied that the crocodile is the greatest of beasts, if this is so could it then eat a lion and the answer is .......

What are we to take away from this? We do not know the power  of God, at least not His full power, we assume that we do know, we think we know better than God at times, we don’t trust God like we should, and we are just plain downright selfish little beings who run around on this little earth breathing our minuscule breath of a life.
