Questioning God ???
Questioning God ??????
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: "Who is this who darkens counsel By words without knowledge? Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me." (Job 38:1-3)
Job was a righteous man who, from a human perspective, did not deserve to suffer. He lived a blameless life and followed God’s laws to the letter. As he was experiencing great tribulation, Job cried out in frustration and questioned why God was allowing him to suffer. God came to Job in the form of a whirlwind with His answer. As soon as God spoke, Job recognized that he should not have challenged God’s wisdom. God turned to Job and asked him several sobering questions: “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Where were you when I set the oceans in their place? Where were you when I put the constellations of stars in position?” God’s questions humbled Job and reminded him that his own wisdom did not begin to compare with God’s.
When God finished asking His questions, Job replied, “I have uttered what I did not understand, / Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know” (Job 42:3). In a moment of despair and frustration, Job had challenged God’s wisdom. God had firmly reminded Job that He was still sovereign and that this truth was enough for Job. Whether Job ever knew that his life had been the focus of a cosmic struggle is unclear. Perhaps Job never realized that his experience brought glory to God in the face of Satan’s challenge (Job 1:8–12). But Job was satisfied to know that God’s wisdom was flawless.
At times you may not understand why a loving Father would allow you to suffer as you are. You may question the wisdom of God’s direction for your life. Learn from Job. Review the awesome power and wisdom of almighty God (Job 38–41). Have confidence that this same God is directing your path.

Heavenly Father, there are times when we look forward to our daily work, but there are also circumstances in which we find it hard to face the daily routine. Cause us to remember that You are with us at all times, on days we feel happy and on days we feel hopeless. Give us patience and courage as we go about our work. Guide us in the decisions that we must make today, decisions that we pray will please You and bless the people around us.
Let Your love reflect in us, that we may be faithful witnesses to our Savior Jesus Christ.
We ask You to hear us for His sake.
Amen

Hello Brothers and Sisters,
Where did everybody go? Dianna38 deleted her profile and left eons. Why? Obviously her feelings were hurt some where along the lines here. Please Pray for her. She is one of God's beautiful children. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS. WHEN ONE IS LOST, TURN AROUND AND SEEK THEM. Dear God, I pray you comfort Dianna in her times of uncertainty. Please restore her to the fold, Amen
Your Humble Servant,
