In Job 37 Elihu (the youngest of Job's 'friends' in the conversation about his suffering) tells Job to 'stop and consider the wondrous works of God' (v14). From thunder and lightning to snow and rain, animals, whirlwinds and people, God made them all, is behind, above and beyond them all, upholds and sustains them all. His power is, quite simply, awesome. Elihu ends like this:
God is clothed with awesome majesty.
The Almighty—we cannot find him;
he is great in power;
justice and abundant righteousness he will not violate.
Therefore men fear him;
he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.Job 37.22b-24
