"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand." (Job 38:4, NIV)
This sentence was spoken by God Himself to Job out of a storm. In no part in the bible, has God ever explain the details on how did He lay the earth's foundation or other questions asked to Job. So, this question together with many other questions meant to open Job's (and our) mind that he (and we) can not understand every detail of what God is doing (except He specifically open it to us).
God's works are beyond our understanding. Job mentioned in Job 42:3b "Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know." In some matter of life, we only need to trust Him and put our hope in Him.
Even though Job can not understand God's works or plans, he said that his eyes had seen God. Unable to understand Him does not mean that it is useless to get hungry to know Him more. Trying to know God is trying to make a relationship with God, trying to understand what God wants in my life, and trying to see God.
