Hallelujah, Lord God the Almighty!
The knowledge of you is too wonderful
for me—I cannot attain it.
Who am I to question you, O God?
Make me humble like John the Baptist,
who accepted his rank below Jesus.
Make me content to rejoice in you,
to exult because yours is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is so high that I cannot attain it.

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind:
“Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? …”

“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
the Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory…” [The voice of a great multitude]
John 1:29-30
The next day [John the Baptist] saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’ …”
Acceptance and contentment are wise counsel for me regarding my station in life.
