Today's Scripture *July 22, 2008*
Job 40: 1-4
Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? He that reproveth God, let him answer it.
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
Throughout his time of suffering, Job longed to have an opportunity to plead his innocence before God. Here God appeared to Job and gave him that opportunity. But Job decided to remain quiet because it was no longer necessary for Him to speak. God had shown Job that, as a limited human being, he had neither the ability to judge the God who created the universe nor the right to ask why.
God's actions do not depend on ours. He will do what He knows is best, regardless of what we think is fair.
It is important to note, however, that God came to Job, demonstrating His love and care for him.
Heavenly Father, Creator and Sustainer of the Universe! We worship You!
We praise You and give You thanks for all the mighty ways You reveal Yourself to us.
Thank You for loving us God. Even in our weakness and frailness, You love us!
Even with our limited understanding, You care for us.
Lord, we know that You do all things according to what You know is best!
May we trust in that promise this day! In Your Name, Amen..
Bless you!
