God Knows What He's Doing#
Surely I spoke of things that I did not understand; I talked of things too wonderful to know. ~ Job 42:3
It is easy to thank God when He does what we want. But God doesn't always do what we want. Ask Job.
His empire collapsed, his children were killed, and what was a healthy body became a rage of boils. From whence came this torrent? From whence will come any help?
Job goes straight to God and pleaded his case. His head hurts. His body hurts. His heart hurts.
And God responded. Not with answers but with questions. An ocean of questions.
After several dozen questions, Job got the point. What is it?
The point is this; God owes no one anything. No reasons. No explanations. Nothing. If He gave them it would be highly likely we couldn't understand.
The Last Word:
God is God. He knows what He is doing. When you can't trace His hand, trust His heart.
