God to Job: "I created both you and the hippopotamus." Job, seriously, when God compares you to a hippo, then you know you need to get your head right.

 

Job listens to God and then praises him because he has seen God with his own eyes. Before, he believed based on what others said about God. After this experience, his belief was transfered to a foundation of his own experience. I think a lot of people (myself included) get hung up believing from the words of others rather than from personal experience. But what should I expect in a personal experience with the eternal God of the universe? Am I willing to have an experience that defies expectations?
