Job 21:1-3, Then Job answered and said: “LISTEN CAREFULLY TO MY SPEECH, AND LET THIS BE YOUR CONSOLATION. Bear with me that I may speak, AND AFTER I HAVE SPOKEN, KEEP MOCKING.
Job’s friends weren’t listening, but he was! Job said, “COMFORT ME BY LISTENING TO ME”!
Job 21:4-5, “As for me, IS MY COMPLAINT AGAINST MAN? … Look at me and be astonished; Put your hand over your mouth.
Job complaint is not against man, BUT AGAINST GOD FOR HE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT GOD WAS DOING! WHY LORD! WHY!
Psa 77:7-8, NLT, HAS THE LORD REJECTED ME FOREVER? WILL HE NEVER AGAIN BE KIND TO ME? IS HIS UNFAILING LOVE GONE FOREVER? HAVE HIS PROMISES PERMANENTLY FAILED?
Job 21:22-23, 25-26, “CAN ANYONE TEACH GOD KNOWLEDGE, Since He judges those on high? ONE DIES IN HIS FULL STRENGTH, Being wholly at ease and secure; … ANOTHER MAN DIES IN THE BITTERNESS OF HIS SOUL, Never having eaten with pleasure. THEY LIE DOWN ALIKE IN THE DUST, AND WORMS COVER THEM.
Job, doesn’t understand GOD’s way! ONE MAN LIVES IN PROSPERIRTY AND IN GOOD HEALTH, YET ANOTHER LIVES IN BITTER POVERTY! WHY?
Isa 55:8-9, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
THE MIND OF MAN IS LIMITED, BUT THE LORD KNOWS ALL! WHO CAN TEACH GOD KNOWLEDGE, OR WHO CAN GIVE GOD COUNCIL? NO ONE CAN!
Isa 40:13-14, Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, Or as His counselor has taught Him? With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him, And taught Him in the path of justice? Who taught Him knowledge, And showed Him the way of understanding?
WE MAY NOT KNOW THE REASON WHY THINGS HAPPEN TO US, BUT WE CAN KNOW THAT HE IS IN FULL CONTROL! TRUST IN HIM!
