ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
It also teaches me that Jehovah is fair and loving when giving his laws, since he seeks the well-being and prosperity of his creatures. Furthermore, Jehovah is faithful and constant in his laws, since they do not change or contradict each other. On the other hand, Jehovah is powerful and sovereign in his laws, for no one can mock him or escape the consequences of him.
These verses teach us that the universe is governed by physical laws, scientists know some of them, such as gravity, and they are unbreakable laws that maintain everything in perfect harmony. In the same way, Jehovah also established Moral laws to maintain perfection in humanity and they are also unbreakable, although sometimes we cross those lines due to imperfection. He expects us to repent so that we can enjoy the sacrifice he made for us, since that his promise is like a law that also has us for the future.
Yes, these laws are so perfect that even scientists use them to calculate everything and make creations.
These verses teach us that Jehovah is the supreme lawgiver, since he is the creator of all things and thanks to his laws everything goes well and there is a majestic order. Furthermore, we are grateful that all things are governed by Jehovah's laws. Thus, scientists, using the laws they know, can calculate the movements of the moon, the planets and other celestial bodies, with a precision of fractions of a second.
And knowing that all creation is governed by Jehovah's laws teaches us that humans must also obey Jehovah's laws, both physical and moral, since these laws are not irrevocable and cannot be evaded or violated without suffering. the consequences.
These texts highlight Jehovah's role as legislator, revealing his control over the physical laws that govern material creation. In these verses, Jehovah asks Job if he has ever ordered or limited the waters of the sea, establishing its limits and stopping its advance. This highlights Jehovah's authority over natural laws, showing that he is the supreme lawgiver who has established and controls the physical laws that govern creation.
There have been countless men who have served in a legislative capacity, establishing laws for nations and communities. However, the Bible focuses attention on Jehovah as the fundamental legislator of the universe; the physical laws that govern material creation, inanimate things, are attributed to him, as shown in Job 38:4-38.
Man, as a creation of Jehovah, is also subject to his physical laws because he is a rational creature, with moral and spiritual capacity. He is also subject to his moral laws; God's physical laws are unbreakable. All this causes us admiration and deep respect for the creator and legislator Jehovah God.

Job 39:1-3. This same text highlights the idea that each animal has specific characteristics that allow it to follow a certain pattern according to its species.

With this we see Jehovah's love for humans and it motivates us to use that thinking capacity to do Jehovah's will.

Job 38:4. He highlights the idea that Jehovah has a Higher understanding of human beings, since he has always existed. This leads us to the conclusion that, although some biblical commandments may seem outdated, in our times they must be obeyed because Jehovah, having a higher understanding, knows what is best for us and wants to free us from suffering the consequences of a poorly made decision.
Job 38:3. It is interesting that in the verse Jehovah is presented asking Job questions to make him reflect and reason. This strategy can be considered an effective method to guide thinking and reach people's hearts, thus we copy the example of the great instructor Jehovah God when preaching.

It is said about the eagle, that far into the distance its eyes continue looking to look for food, because just as the eagle is able to see far into the distance, Jehovah can see the distant future, it is as he says about him in Isaiah 46:10 , that declares the end from the beginning.

Job 39:17-18. There it talks about the ostrich and in 17 it is said that it has been denied wisdom and has not been given its share of intelligence. Referring to Jehovah about this animal and the insightful work, it is said that modern researchers agree with this fact since it is evident that this animal is not very intelligent. He even quotes an Arab saying that says it is dumber than an ostrich, and of course it is said. This is because they tend to run in circles, of course by running in these circles their predators can now easily surround them if there are many of them and kill them, although it is also interesting that in 18 it is said that if they manage to run in a straight line, they will even run in a straight line. laugh at the horse and the rider for the speed they reach, of course this could make us think about the way in which we are running, we tend to turn around in circles and go towards Satan's system, if we were doing it, Satan could trap us. However, if we follow Jehovah's advice it would be as if we ran in a straight line, Satan and his world would not catch us. And that way we could laugh at them and not be considered stupider than an ostrich.

In chapter 38. We can learn from Jehovah, since the Bible calls him the magnificent instructor, the question is how, starting from the fact that he did not have things clear, he did not have a correct understanding, he arrived at the end of his book to really understand things. and really know Jehovah, since we have a key in chapter 38, was the use of questions, Jehovah asked him many questions that helped him reason, questions such as where are you, were you the one who did this, etc. So that teaches us that a good method that we should also use when we give Bible courses or when we give speeches is the use of questions, especially the use of questions that help those who listen to us reason and reach logical conclusions.
