Ramadan Post Eight: Where Were You?

ramadan where were you

The Scripture:

Then the Lord answered Job out of the storm. He said: “Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. “Where were you wehn I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were it’s footings set, or who laid it’s cornerstone — while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?”

Phrases and images that arose during lectio:

while the morning stars sang in chorus…all the angels shouted praise…while the foundations were poured, while the cornerstones were laid.

…my smallness being embedded in great beauty…
