Re:Verse passage – Job 7:1-21 (day four)
Job was trying to understand. By his evaluation, he had done nothing wrong. Job recognized that there was sin and iniquity in his life, but why wasn’t God forgiving him when he confessed before Him? Even Job’s friends were offering explanations as to what was going on. The assumption was that bad things only happen to bad people. Job and his friends were looking at circumstances rather than relationships.
You and I are like that…we want an explanation! Why did this bad thing happen to me and good came to that other sinful, unregenerate person? There is a reason why God is God and we are not! Our finite understanding and limited knowledge may never know the answers to some of life’s questions. Often times, our relationship with God comes back to one thing…faith! Faith in God and faith in His love for us! We have to trust that God knows best. We serve an all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, all-loving, infinite God. Praise the Lord!
