Why, God?

"Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!" (Job 40:2)

Why God, why? How many times have we ever asked this question? Many times others try to comfort us by saying things like, “God knows what is best,” or, “All things work together for our good if we love Him.” Even though down deep in our heart we still trust God there are certain circumstances and situations which still cause us to question Him. God did not condemn Job for questioning Him, He simply asked Job; “Are you trying to tell Me what to do?” God is aware of our lack of understanding. It is our lack of trust in Him that He takes issue with. What He wants us to realize is that it is okay for us to question Him, but it is not okay to correct Him! He does what He wants to do and He allows what He chooses to allow therefore we need to take Job’s attitude: “Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" If you are in a mess today take heart, He knows what He is doing.
