The scripture passages for this morning point to God’s glory and power, but also reveal that God laid aside his power over the created world in order to share his life among creation. God answers Job out of the whirlwind to remind Job of the breadth of divine majesty and the wonder and mysteries that are beyond human knowledge. God seeks to offer some assurance that there is an order to creation and that he is not capricious, even if humans do not always understand his ways. In the gospel lesson from Mark, Jesus continues to turn upside down his disciples’ expectations by saying, “Whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all.”
