A Lesson from Job

In my last blog I said, "God is so hugeous that it is sometimes impossible to comprehend what His will is and why some things happen." I've been reading Job during my quiet time the past couple of weeks and, as always when I read Job, I don't truly understand everything. This past Sunday, the Pastor where we attended church happened to use Job as an example actually mentioned the fact that Job is a hard book for a lot of people.

Anyway, he said he could sum Job up for us by paraphrasing God's response to Job near the end of the book. He said that basically God told Job, "I'm God, you're not, now get over it!"

At first, that might not sound like what a loving God would actually mean, but as I thought about it--it is true. He is God and His ways are not our way, they are better whether we like it or not.
