REALIZATION
Today's reading: Job 39-42

"Then Job replied to the Lord, I am nothing--how could I ever find the answers? I will put my hand over my mouth in silence. I have said too much already. I have nothing more to say." Job 40:3-5 NLT

Job has spent several chapters and many days by the ash-pile of grief questioning why God would do what He had done.

To Job, it didn't seem fair.

Or kind.

Or deserving.

So he questioned the One who had allowed it all to happen.

And lovingly, authoritatively and with all truth, God let him in on a little secret (chapters 38-39), Job is not God.

Job wasn't there when God formed the earth...

Job doesn't hold all the answers to life and nature...

Job doesn't know all he thinks he knows...

Job isn't entitled to answers...

Job was asked, we are asked, to trust the One who was...who holds...who knows...who has the answers and the reasons.
