Psalm 38, in sickness and health!

TO BRING TO REMEMBRANCE, O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your wrath, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure! For Your arrows pierce me deeply, And Your hand presses me down.

David felt that he was physically ill because of his sins, he felt the piercing pain which he called the LORDs arrows! HE DOESN’T DEAL WITH HIS SONS WITH JUDGEMENT, BUT AS A FATHER WHO PROPERLY CORRECTS HIS SON!

Pro 3:12, FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE CORRECTS, JUST AS A FATHER THE SON IN WHOM HE DELIGHTS. 

For those fathers, we should never rebuke our children in our anger, but in love that they may understand their error!

Psa 38:3-5, There is NO SOUNDNESS IN MY FLESH Because of Your anger, NOR ANY HEALTH IN MY BONES BECAUSE OF MY SIN. For MY INIQUITIES have gone over my head; LIKE A HEAVY BURDEN THEY ARE TOO HEAVY FOR ME. MY WOUNDS ARE FOUL AND FESTERING BECAUSE OF MY FOOLISHNESS. 

David felt no health in his flesh nor bones and he attributed his pains to his sins! I LOVE THE HOW DAVID SPEAKS TO HIS FATHER! HE DOESN’T HIDE ANYTHING FROM HIM AND JUST TALKS TO THE LORD HOW HE FEELS! JESUS SAID TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE WEARY!

Mat 11:28, COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. 

Psa 38:18, FOR I WILL DECLARE MY INIQUITY; I WILL BE IN ANGUISH OVER MY SIN. 

THE LORD IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, IF WE CONFESS THEM! (1John 1:9)

Pro 28:13, He who covers his sins will not prosper, BUT WHOEVER CONFESSES AND FORSAKES THEM WILL HAVE MERCY. 

Psa 38:21-22, Do not forsake me, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me! MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O LORD, MY SALVATION!

The title of this Psalm is “TO BRING TO REMEMBRANCE” Not that the LORD needs to be reminded, but in scripture, FOR GOD TO REMEMBER IS FOR HIM TO ACT! MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME O LORD, MY SALVATION! 

DAVID ALWAYS SOUGHT THE LORD, IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH, IN TRIALS AND GREAT JOY! THE LORD WAS THE STRENGTH OF HIS LIFE AND SO IT MUST BE FOR US! SEEK THE LORD DAILY!

Psalm 13, How long oh LORD!

Psa 13:1, … HOW LONG, O LORD? Will YOU FORGET ME FOREVER? HOW LONG Will YOU HIDE YOUR FACE FROM ME? 

Some times during trials we believe that GOD has forgotten about us or hiding from us, BUT FEELINGS ARE NOT FACTS! IN TRIALS WE TEND TO EMBRACE OUR FEELINGS AND SITUATIONS RATHER THAN GOD!

Psa 13:2, HOW LONG SHALL I TAKE COUNSEL IN MY SOUL, HAVING SORROW IN MY HEART DAILY? HOW LONG WILL MY ENEMY BE EXALTED OVER ME? 

David, in his desperation repeats the phrase “HOW LONG” four times! IF WE ONLY KNEW HOW LONG THIS TRIAL WILL LAST BEFORE IT’S LIFTED FROM US! DOES SCRIPTURE SAY “WE WALK BY FEELINGS, OR BY SIGHT”? NO!

2Co 5:7, FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT. 

ALWAYS REMEMBER, HE CAN’T LIE! HE HONORS HIS PROMISES MORE THAN HIS NAME!

Psa 138:2, … FOR YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD ABOVE ALL YOUR NAME.

Psa 13:5-6, BUT I HAVE TRUSTED IN YOUR MERCY; MY HEART SHALL REJOICE IN YOUR SALVATION. I will sing to the LORD, BECAUSE HE HAS DEALT BOUNTIFULLY WITH ME.

 DAVID REMEMBERS GOD’S FAITHFULNESS in the past, and RATHER THAN TO DWELL ON THE PROBLEM HE CHOOSES TO SING TO THE LORD!

Psa 77:10-12, … BUT I WILL REMEMBER THE YEARS OF THE RIGHT HAND OF THE MOST HIGH.” I WILL REMEMBER THE WORKS OF THE LORD; SURELY I WILL REMEMBER YOUR WONDERS OF OLD. I WILL ALSO MEDITATE ON ALL YOUR WORK, AND TALK OF YOUR DEEDS.

During trials our imagination runs wild! WILL I FIND ANOTHER JOB? WILL I BE ABLE TO PAY MY BILLS? WILL WE BE LIVING IN THE STREETS! WILL WE BE IN HUNGER?

Psa 37:25, I have been young, and now am old; YET I HAVE NOT SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, NOR HIS DESCENDANTS BEGGING BREAD. 

THE LORD IS FAITHFUL AND HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US! HE USES TRIALS TO BUILD US UP THAT WE MAY LEAN CLOSER TO HIM!

Psalm 10, THE LORD will not see??

Psa 10:1, WHY DO YOU STAND AFAR OFF, O LORD? WHY DO YOU HIDE IN TIMES OF TROUBLE? 

In good times we can easily say, “THE LORD IS GOOD”, BUT, in times of trouble when we FEEL alone we may say, “GOD WHERE ARE YOU”?

Mat 10:29-31, Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And NOT ONE OF THEM FALLS TO THE GROUND APART FROM YOUR FATHER’S WILL. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. DO NOT FEAR THEREFORE; YOU ARE OF MORE VALUE THAN MANY SPARROWS.

WE LIVE BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT OR FEELINGS! IT MAY SEEM HE IS NOT THERE OR DOESN’T CARE, BUT YOU ARE VALUABLE TO HIM! REMEMBER WHO HE SENT FOR YOU!

Psa 10:3-4, For THE WICKED boasts of his heart’s desire; He blesses the greedy and RENOUNCES THE LORD. The wicked in his proud countenance DOES NOT SEEK GOD; GOD IS IN NONE OF HIS THOUGHTS.

The wicked reject any concept or thought of GOD and doesn’t seek HIM; EVEN THOUGH THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING!

Rom 1:20, For since the creation of the world HIS INVISIBLE ATTRIBUTES ARE CLEARLY SEEN, Being Understood By The Things That Are Made, even His eternal power and Godhead, SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE, 

Psa 10:11, 13, HE HAS SAID IN HIS HEART, “GOD HAS FORGOTTEN; He hides His face; HE WILL NEVER SEE.” …. Why do the wicked renounce God? HE HAS SAID IN HIS HEART, “YOU WILL NOT REQUIRE AN ACCOUNT.”

EACH AND EVERY PERSON WILL ONE DAY GIVE AN ACCOUNT FOR THEIR LIVES! WHY DID YOU REJECT MY SON!

Rom 14:12, SO THEN EACH OF US SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF TO GOD.

Ecc 11:9, REJOICE, O YOUNG MAN, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; BUT KNOW THAT FOR ALL THESE GOD WILL BRING YOU INTO JUDGMENT. 

THE SCARIEST WORDS IN ALL OF SCRIPTURE!

Mat 7:23, And then I will declare to them, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS!’

Psalm 6, Seeking the LORD in times of trouble!

Psa 6:1, … O LORD, DO NOT REBUKE ME IN YOUR ANGER, NOR CHASTEN ME IN YOUR HOT DISPLEASURE.

David is going through a trial and he believes its about something he did wrong (sin). BUT BEING CHASTENED BY GOD IS A GOOD SIGN THAT HE IS YOUR FATHER, FOR HE CORRECTS HIS OWN!

Heb 12:7, IF YOU ENDURE CHASTENING, GOD DEALS WITH YOU AS WITH SONS; FOR WHAT SON IS THERE WHOM A FATHER DOES NOT CHASTEN? 

Psa 6:2, Have MERCY on me, O LORD, FOR I AM WEAK; O LORD, HEAL ME, FOR MY BONES ARE TROUBLED.

Never say to the LORD, “GIVE ME WHAT I DESERVE”; for all of us deserve death, BUT PLEAD FOR HIS MERCY! FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER! HE IS RICH IN MERCY!

Psa 6:3, MY SOUL ALSO IS GREATLY TROUBLED; BUT YOU, O LORD—HOW LONG?

During trials time seems to drag on, everything that we do fails. The job interview doesn’t pan out and the bills are piling up! HOW LONG O LORD! TRUE CHRISTIANS REMAIN CLOSE TO HIM IN TIMES OF TROUBLE, BUT THE CHAFF FLOAT AWAY! WHEN HE DOES ANSWER, IT WILL INCREASE YOUR FAITH IN HIM!

1Pet 5:6-7, Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, THAT HE MAY EXALT YOU IN DUE TIME, CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM, FOR HE CARES FOR YOU.

Psa 6:8-9, Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; FOR THE LORD HAS HEARD THE VOICE OF MY WEEPING. THE LORD HAS HEARD MY SUPPLICATION; THE LORD WILL RECEIVE MY PRAYER.

This is the confidence of David. He knows that the LORD heard his prayer and it should be our also! HE HAS SAID “I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU”! DO YOU BELIEVE THAT? EVEN JONAH WHILE IN THE BELLY OF A BIG FISH CRIED OUT TO THE LORD!

Jon 2:7, 10, “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; And my prayer went up to You, Into Your holy temple. … SO THE LORD SPOKE TO THE FISH, AND IT VOMITED JONAH ONTO DRY LAND. 

HE IS FAITHFUL, BUT ARE WE? DO WE ONLY SEEK HIM IN TIMES OF TROUBLE? MAYBE THAT’S THE REASON FOR THE TRIAL ITSELF TO DRAW US NEAR TO HIM! SEEK HIM DAILY!

Job 40, GOD answers Job!

Job 40:1-2, Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said: “SHALL THE ONE WHO CONTENDS WITH THE ALMIGHTY CORRECT HIM? HE WHO REBUKES GOD, LET HIM ANSWER IT.”

GOD taught Job and the others about HIS knowledge, wisdom and glory in chapters 38-39, In order to tell Job, “I KNOW WHAT I’M DOING JOB! EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE SUFFERING NOW, YET YOUR SUFFERING WILL TEACH OTHERS!

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.

Job 40:3-5, THEN JOB ANSWERED THE LORD and said: “BEHOLD, I AM VILE; WHAT SHALL I ANSWER YOU? I lay my hand over my mouth. Once I have spoken, but I will not answer; Yes, twice, BUT I WILL PROCEED NO FURTHER.”

JOB KNOWS THAT HE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO HIS MAKER! Before he wanted to question God, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING GOD? THAT IS NOT A GOOD PLAN GOD? ANSWER ME GOD!

Job 31:35, ….OH, THAT THE ALMIGHTY WOULD ANSWER ME…

Isa 64:8, But now, O LORD, YOU ARE OUR FATHER; WE ARE THE CLAY, AND YOU OUR POTTER; AND ALL WE ARE THE WORK OF YOUR HAND. 

Job 40:8-9, “WOULD YOU INDEED ANNUL MY JUDGMENT? WOULD YOU CONDEMN ME THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED? HAVE YOU AN ARM LIKE GOD? OR CAN YOU THUNDER WITH A VOICE LIKE HIS?

Rom 8:28, AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, TO THOSE WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. 

THIS VERSE APPLIES ONLY TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD OR ARE CALLED FOR HIS PURPOSE! GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING EVEN THOUGH YOUR SITUATION MAY LOOK CHAOTIC; TRUST IN HIM! HE REFINES US LIKE GOLD IN A FURNACE, THE IMPURITIES COME FLOWING TO THE TOP AND HE WIPES THEM AWAY! TRUST IN THE LORD YOUR MAKER; HIS WAYS ARE PERFECT BEYOND ARE UNDERSTANDING!

Job 30, Our true enemy!

Job 30:1, “But now they mock at me, men younger than I, Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.

Before men used to listen to his wisdom (Job 29:21), but now even men whom he wouldn’t put in charge of the dogs mock him! ONE THING TO REMEMBER HERE IS THAT JESUS WAS ALSO MOCKED BY MEN!

Joh 19:3, Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck Him with their hands. 

Today, Christians are counted as crazy because of our faith in CHRIST JESUS! THE WORLD HATED HIM THEY WILL ALSO HATE US!

Job 30:8-10, THEY WERE SONS OF FOOLS, Yes, SONS OF VILE MEN; They were scourged from the land. “AND NOW I AM THEIR TAUNTING SONG; Yes, I AM THEIR BYWORD. They abhor me, they keep far from me; They do not hesitate to spit in my face.

Because of Job’s faith in the living GOD, he is enduring the attack of satan through these men! WE ALSO HAVE OUR OWN TRIALS BECAUSE OF OUR FAITH IN THE LIVING GOD!

Heb 11:36, STILL OTHERS HAD TRIAL OF MOCKINGS AND SCOURGINGS, YES, AND OF CHAINS AND IMPRISONMENT.

Job 30:11, BECAUSE HE HAS LOOSED MY BOWSTRING AND AFFLICTED ME, They have cast off restraint before me. 

Job believes that GOD has weaken him, but we know that this is an attack by satan, which GOD Allowed! GOD WILL NEVER TEMP YOU TO SIN AGAINST HIM LIKE SATAN WANTS JOB TO DO (Job 1:11)! “HE (Job) WILL SURELY CURSE YOU (GOD) TO YOUR FACE!”

Jas 1:13, NLT, And remember, WHEN YOU ARE BEING TEMPTED, DO NOT SAY, “GOD IS TEMPTING ME.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and HE NEVER TEMPTS ANYONE ELSE.

WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHO OUR TRUE ENEMY IS AND WHO IS TEMPTING US!

Eph 6:10-11, Finally, my brethren, BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL.

Job 27, Whom shall you call on?

Job 27:8-10, FOR WHAT IS THE HOPE OF THE HYPOCRITE, THOUGH HE MAY GAIN MUCH, If God takes away his life? Will God hear his cry When trouble comes upon him? WILL HE DELIGHT HIMSELF IN THE ALMIGHTY? WILL HE ALWAYS CALL ON GOD?

Job has been calling on the LORD, BUT A HYPOCRITE, IN TIMES OF TROUBLE, WILL NOT LEAN ON THE LORD, BUT ON HIS OWN UNDERSTANDING! HE WILL NOT CALL ON GOD FOR HELP FOR HE TRULY DOESN’T BELIEVE!

Rom 10:13-14, For “WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.” HOW THEN SHALL THEY CALL ON HIM IN WHOM THEY HAVE NOT BELIEVED? …

A Christian will always be driven closer to the LORD to seek understanding and wisdom!

Pro 3:5-6, TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS.

DON’T TRUST IN WHAT YOU SEE, BUT TRUST IN WHOM YOU DON’T SEE! THE LORD IS WITH YOU AND SHALL NEVER LEAVE YOU!

Job 27:13-15, “THIS IS THE PORTION OF A WICKED MAN WITH GOD, And the heritage of oppressors, RECEIVED FROM THE ALMIGHTY: If his children are multiplied, IT IS FOR THE SWORD; And his offspring shall NOT BE SATISFIED WITH BREAD. THOSE WHO SURVIVE HIM SHALL BE BURIED IN DEATH, AND THEIR WIDOWS SHALL NOT WEEP,

Psa 109:13, Let his posterity be cut off, And in the generation following let their name be blotted out. 

The wicked man brings wickedness to his own home. He teaches his children to do the same and will reap the same benefit! DEATH, NOT JUST PHYSICAL, BUT AN EVERLASTING DEATH AWAY FROM THE FATHER!

Pro 22:6, TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO, AND WHEN HE IS OLD HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT.

Job 24, Evil men will have their day!

Job 24:1, “Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, WHY DO THOSE WHO KNOW HIM SEE NOT HIS DAYS? 

Job struggles in understanding why the wicked seem to prosper and the righteous don’t? FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW IT IS HARD, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO UNDERSTAND WHY GOD DOES OR DOESN’T DO SOMETHING? BUT THOSE WHO KNOW HIM KNOWS WILL PLACE THEIR TRUST IN HIM!

Psa 9:10, AND THOSE WHO KNOW YOUR NAME WILL PUT THEIR TRUST IN YOU; FOR YOU, LORD, HAVE NOT FORSAKEN THOSE WHO SEEK YOU. 

Job 24:2-4, “SOME REMOVE LANDMARKS; THEY SEIZE FLOCKS VIOLENTLY AND FEED ON THEM; THEY DRIVE AWAY THE DONKEY OF THE FATHERLESS; THEY TAKE THE WIDOW’S OX AS A PLEDGE. THEY PUSH THE NEEDY OFF THE ROAD; ALL THE POOR OF THE LAND ARE FORCED TO HIDE.

Job sees these evil men stealing from the poor, from the fatherless and from the widows; Job knows what’s written in HIS word regarding them. BUT JUSTICE DOESN’T SEEM TO COME? GOD SEEMS TO BE SILENT EVEN THOUGH IN HIS WORD THOSE EVIL MEN ARE CURSED?

Deu 27:17, ‘CURSED IS THE ONE WHO MOVES HIS NEIGHBOR’S LANDMARK.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ 

Deu 10:18, HE ADMINISTERS JUSTICE FOR THE FATHERLESS AND THE WIDOW, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing. 

Job 24:12, The dying groan in the city, And the souls of the wounded cry out; YET GOD DOES NOT CHARGE THEM WITH WRONG. 

Psa 73:17-19, UNTIL I WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY OF GOD; THEN I UNDERSTOOD THEIR END. Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.

THE DAY IS COMING AND IS ALMOST HERE, WHERE THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SEE THEIR BLESSED HOPE, JESUS, FACE TO FACE, BUT THE WICKED WILL HAVE THEIR END!

Isa 3:11, Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, For the reward of his hands shall be given him.

Job 23, Seeking the LORD in times of trouble!

Job 23:8-9, “LOOK, I GO FORWARD, BUT HE IS NOT THERE, AND BACKWARD, BUT I CANNOT PERCEIVE HIM; When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him; When He turns to the right hand, I CANNOT SEE HIM.

In times of trouble our faith is always put to the test! We seek HIM, Pray to HIM to change the situation, yet nothing seems to change; “LORD ARE YOU EVEN THERE”?

Psa 66:10, FOR YOU, O GOD, HAVE TESTED US; YOU HAVE REFINED US AS SILVER IS REFINED. 

During these times WE ARE REFINED just as gold or silver is! The fire causes the impurities to float to the surface and then it’s removed! ONE CAN EASILY SAY I HAVE FAITH IN GOD! BUT, WHEN TESTED, TRUE BELIEVERS WILL SEEK HIS MAKER EVEN MORE AND THE FALSE BELIEVER WILL BE DRAWN AWAY TO WHATEVER THEY TRUST IN MOST!

Job 23:10-11, BUT HE KNOWS THE WAY THAT I TAKE; WHEN HE HAS TESTED ME, I SHALL COME FORTH AS GOLD. MY FOOT HAS HELD FAST TO HIS STEPS; I HAVE KEPT HIS WAY AND NOT TURNED ASIDE.

Job knew that his GOD was still there even though he didn’t know why this is happening to him! JOB, KNEW HIS GOD, KNEW HIS WAYS, KNEW HIS WORD. HAPPEN WHAT MAY, I WILL TRUST IN HIM!

Job 13:15, THOUGH HE SLAY ME, YET WILL I TRUST HIM

WE AS CHRISTIANS NEED TO HOLD FAST TO HIS STEPS, THE WAY SHOWN TO US THROUGH HIS WORD, AND THROUGH HIS EXAMPLE! JESUS IS THE WAY TO THE FATHER!

Joh 14:6, JESUS said to him, “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME. 

TRIALS WILL COME, BUT TRUE BELIEVERS WILL ALWAYS BECOME STRONGER IN THEIR FAITH!

2Co 5:7, FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT.

Job 21, His ways!

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!
