This blog post is based off of Job 9:1-35 from the "New Women's Devotional Bible".
In the passage above, Job desired to question God. He wanted to plead his case about all his lost possessions. He longed to argue God about his life and circumstances but knew that there was no way, or reason, to do so.
Sometimes we find ourselves, like Job, in circumstances that make us want to argue with God. We don't agree with the things of this world, or we wonder why things happen the way they do. There have been plenty of times in my life where I found myself like Job was found - wondering why but knowing that God had the answers and there was no reason to question.
Sometimes it takes a question for God to bring us closer to Him. God wants us to dialogue and communicate with Him whether we are happy, sad, or angry. He wants us to be real with Him and, like Job, cry out to Him. Why only talk to God when things are pleasant? It is the hard times when we need to communicate with Him the most.
This is where Jesus come in. And thank God that He did! Job asked and hoped for an arbitrator to come in and mediate between him and God. He knew the mighty power of God was powerful and worthy and Job wanted another entity who could stand in between and listen and then reason. God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to be that arbitrator. Today we can talk to God through Christ and there is no fear!
"Some of us wish that we could look beyond heaven's veil to see why God allows thing to happen as they do. The simple truth is that God is God, and we are not. And praise God for that!"
