Say No More... Read Job 40:1-14 WHO HASNT WANTED to scream at God Why??? The question catches you right in the throat when you visit a friend who is barely recognizable, ravaged by chemotherapy. It comes to mind when a dear friend die or a son gets sentenced 10 years in prison. Why??? Questions wrack our thoughts and challenge our faith. How can a loving God allow so much pain? When we consider the mystery of suffering, the story of Job comes to mind. Job suffered horribly, and he boldly questioned God, protesting that he didnt deserve to lose his family, health, and his possessions. Job cried out to God, and God answered him with amazing words and unfathomable questions. The Lord challenged him with questions that reveal Joblimitations. No, Job does not have power like Gods. Only God is sovereign. Job is merely human. Job began to understand and bowed in silence to the Creator of the universe, saying, I am unworthy...I will say no more (Job 40:4-5). But notice something...God loved Job enough to be with him in his suffering and that made ALL the difference. Job had discovered that God himself was the answer. He didnt need the specifics; he finally rested in the truth that God is God...and that was enough! Sometimes, when we reach the end of ourselves, and our tears...when we are quiet, we hear him say, I am God. I am here. #NBNB #HEISSOAMAZING #HEWILLNEVERLEAVEYOU
