Day 126 – Even when the going gets tough God’s in control.
Today’s Reading: Job 10 – 12
Job 12:13-14 “To God belong wisdom and power;counsel and understanding are his. What he tears down cannot be rebuilt;those he imprisons cannot be released.”
God’s wisdom abounds in all He does even when we can’t understand it. Job, in all his complaining, got this one thing right. However, He began blaming God for doing these things to him, but what Job didn’t realize was that this wasn’t God’s doing.
God doesn’t do things to us, but He may allow things to happen. He is in control, but He is not evil. These things He allows are because of His wisdom and understanding of what the whole picture is in the end. All we can see is the present situation and not the Glory He has yet to come.
Just looking back over my life and all of the things God allowed to happen to me, I know without a doubt that He didn’t do these to me because the things that happened to me are out of His character. God’s character is Love and Truth because He is Love and Truth, and He wouldn’t hate or harm anyone.
1 Corinthians 13:6-7 says, “Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
When your going gets tough don’t blame God, instead, look to God to find the good He’s doing through the trial.
