WHEN HE DOESN'T
Today's reading: Job 33-34

"Yes, God often does these things for people." Job 33:29 NLT

Job's friend refers, in this section of Scripture, to all the things God can do.

He can speak in dreams and visions.

He can scare people out of their sins and onto a godly path.

He changes minds and keeps folks away from prideful choices.

God disciplines.

God heals.

God hears and restores.

But to reiterate what Job was hearing, God often does these things for people.

But He doesn't always do these for people.

Some of us are still waiting on Him to act.

Some of us are praying the same prayer we've been praying for years.

Some of us weary from long nights He has yet to rescue us from.

Some of us are desperately wanting to hear a clear and concise word from Him.

Some of us are wrestling with what He can do and why He isn't doing it.

It's a tough part of faith.

He can, but will He? He is able, but will it bring Him glory? He promises, but when will it happen? He might, or He might not?
