"Suffer With No Explanation" Job 32-33; Acts 14

To his sin he adds rebellion; Job 34:37" scornfully he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.” Job 34:37. Elihu accuses Job of multiplying his words against God, adding to his rebellion. Can we question God? Can we do it in such a manner of meekness? God is not the delivery man nor the traffic cop nor our kindly grandfather. Yet Job's friends reduced him to size---reduced the role of God to fit their answers. You see, suffering with definition and explanation gives you control---a false hope of control. Suffering with no definition, no explanation, is where we find our faith in God. May we listen well in suffering. All your days. Acts 14:15 - We are only humans. We are here to bring good news. To tell you to turn from worthless things to the Living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and everything in them. He is the One who fills your heart with joy; who provides you with plenty. Children, remain true to the faith. What else do you really have? PHOTO: The day of all the year.
