Day 124 – Did you set the world in motion? Then how can we ask Why, when our world starts spinning out of our control?
Today’s Reading: Job 4 – 6
Job 4:17-19 ‘Can mortal man be in the right before God?Can a man be pure before his Maker? Even in his servants he puts no trust,and his angels he charges with error; how much more those who dwell in houses of clay,whose foundation is in the dust,who are crushed like the moth.”
One by one, Job’s friends begin to question him. They were trying to figure out what he had done wrong that would have caused God to treat him in this way. Job responded to Eliphaz with a question…
Job 6:30 “Is there any injustice on my tongue?Cannot my palate discern the cause of calamity?”
Essentially Job was saying, What did I do wrong?
When things go wrong in our life, some will jump to conclusions. However, sometimes bad things happen to good people for no good reason. Through Job, God wanted to prove to Satan that someone would be found faithful no matter what happened. Maybe God is doing the same with you. Maybe God is wanting to use you to bring others closer to Him. There are also times God will allow consequences to come according to your sin, but in these situations He will also use the Holy Spirit to convict you of the wrong you’ve done.
But if you’ve committed no sin, don’t try to find fault where no fault lies.
You didn’t put the world in motion, God did, and sometimes He is the only one that knows the Reason Why!
