To be certain, the Bible contains many words. But, the most prominent, of the many reasons, why Job has always been my favorite book of the Bible resides in next few passages. These words have always summed up God's Sovereignty for me.
“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much. (Job 38:4, NLT)

drop!!!
drop!!!⁸Who kept the sea inside its boundaries as it burst from the womb, ⁹and as I clothed it with clouds and wrapped it in thick darkness? ¹⁰For I locked it behind barred gates, limiting its shores. ¹¹I said, ‘This far and no farther will you come. Here your proud waves must stop!’ (Job 38:8-11, NLT)
As we say, in the Baptist church, "Wellllll."
But, that's the Old Testament. Some people dismiss the Old Testament, as though it were obsolete. It's not the Old Testament which Jesus rendered obsolete; it's the "Old Covenant:" The requirement of animal sacrifices is what was rendered obsolete, when Jesus served as the forever sacrificial lamb, in the New Testament.

Nevertheless. Let's celebrate the ONE GOD who made all this possible, in the first place.
"Evolution?" From whom did that which evolves originate?
"The Big Bang Theory?" From whence, or whom, did that which supposedly bang together come?
Acts 17 (NLT)
²⁴“He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since He is LORD of heaven and earth, He doesn’t live in man-made temples, ²⁵and human hands can’t serve His needs—for He has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to EVERYTHING, and He satisfies every need. ²⁶From one man He created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and He determined their boundaries. ²⁷“His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward Him and find Him—though He is not far from any one of us. ²⁸For in Him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’ ²⁹And since this is true, we shouldn’t think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver or stone. ³⁰“God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now He commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to Him.
Seems to me that the New Testament continues to reinforce and testify to God's Old Testament declarations.
Whoa! Hallelujah! Excuse me while jump for joy just a lil' bit.
