What Does Job 39:4 Mean?
The scene moves from birth to growth. The young thrive in the wild, gaining strength as they feed, until they are able to depart on their own and never return to the doe that bore them.
Every stage of this small life is provided for, though no person arranges it. Strength, food, and the day of leaving all come from the Maker's hand. Job is invited to see how completely God sustains lives he never thinks about. If the wild fawn is so cared for from cradle to independence, how much more does the Father tend those made in His image, feeding and strengthening them through every season.
