Who Knows Better?

Job 38: 19-21 "What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside? Can you take them to their places? Do you know the paths to their dwellings? Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years!

God’s conversation with Job is crazy. It’s like a parent talking to a child. I begin to shake as I read the words. God does not defend Himself in any way as He has no need to but instead questions Job authority to question God. It makes me realize how very small I am.

What causes me to think that I have any authority to question the Almighty?

“Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years!”

Ouch! These words cut deep into me. What is 33 years compared to eternal? I have created nothing of myself, how could I think that I know better than the Creator of the Universe.
The fact that He even thinks of me is beyond belief. God understands our questioning. He created us with wonder. However, faith is not rational. But faith in an all knowing God is completely rational. Children are trusting, understanding that an adult knows more than them. Sin has caused distrust in our lives. I have no reason not to trust God. He is the only one who has always had the right answers for my life.

Lord, forgive me for trying to do thing my way and questioning when I do not see the results I want. I know You know everything and I trust Your lead. Amen
