Job 40

God says to job "do the things I do"... I can't imagine that.

Thank you Pastor Tom!

Thank you! I love verse 7

n[7] “Brace yourself like a man; I will question you,

nBecause Job can only brace himself like a man, not like God.

Are we as strong as God? Can we call out thunder like God? Only God’s strength can save us.

It is natural for us to want to argue with God's wisdom when we are hurting, but it's not wise. We don't have all the puzzle pieces and even if we did we couldn't put them together. It is better for us to trust the wisdom of the Divine and His power to accomplish HIs infinitely greater plans.

n

nJesus help me trust You when I come to the end of my understanding. Help me remember Your power is greater than my abilities and when I am powerless to change my situation, YOU are not. My power and wisdom are like a thimble amid the ocean of your power and wisdom. Guard me from foolishly questioning Your motives and Your movements in my life. Help me trust you by faith when I don't understand by sight.

Verse 8

nWilt thou also disannul my judgment? Will thou condemn me, that thou may be righteous?

n

nWhen I complain about a trial in my life, I am saying that God was unjust in his dealings with me. I called a question. God‘s divine authority.
