Homilist Job 9:5-9 Which removes the mountains, and they know not: which overturns them in his anger.… I. Its almightiness is OVERWHELMINGLY GRAND in its manifestations. "Removeth the mountains," etc. The whole passage impresses one with the unbounded energy of God. 1. His almightiness should impress all with a sense of their utter insignificance. 2. His almightiness should impress the sinner with his impious hardihood. II. ITS ALMIGHTINESS IS CO-EXTENSIVE WITH THE UNIVERSE. Job here touches every part of material nature — the earth, the sea, the heavens — and sees God working in all. 1. His universal agency explains all material phenomena. 2. His universal agency binds men practically to recognise Him in every part of nature. He is the Force of all forces, the Pulse of all life, the Spirit of all forms. (Homilist.)
