Job 36, 26 God is great beyond our knowledge

(Job 36, 26) God is great beyond our knowledge

[26] Lo, God is great beyond our knowledge; the number of his years is past searching out.

(CCC 223) It means coming to know God's greatness and majesty: "Behold, God is great, and we know him not" (Job 36:26). Therefore, we must "serve God first" (St. Joan of Arc). (CCC 224) It means living in thanksgiving: if God is the only One, everything we are and have comes from him: "What have you that you did not receive?" (1 Cor 4:7). "What shall I render to the LORD for all his bounty to me?" (Ps 116:12).
