All of this is part of the world that Job is familiar with. He cannot deny the reality of these wonderful things which all evidence the tremendous skill of the Creator.
Would Job like to say how this could be done? It builds a nest high up on some precipitous ledge where its young are safely nurtured until they first launch out into the abyss below. God has equipped the eagle with proverbially acute eyesight, so that it can spot objects of interest from its high vantage point and alight on them as soon as they drop. Its young suck up the blood of its victims and greet death as their provider and meal preparer. Can the Creator, who possesses such skill, lack skill in dealing with his servant, Job, and overlook justice in his case? Job needs to consider all the works of God again before he opens his mouth in complaint, and forms vain conclusions about the providence of God. He is being required to exercise faith in areas where he cannot see, on the basis of what he can see. The Christian too should make his home on high. ‘If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth’ (Colossians 3:1-2). He too should look down with the perspective of heaven on all that takes place on the earth, and with the enhanced spiritual sight that God gives him, understand what takes place on the earth. It is only for a time that we are here and then we go to him that called us.
