Job is one of the oldest books of the Bible. It primarily focuses on an argument between Job and some of his friends over why Job has suffered the loss of his family, home and possessions. Job's friends claim Job must have done something wrong, and Job insists he is innocent. Eventually God shows up and says, "Just who do you think you are? Can you do what I can? Can you form worlds, take care of the earth, walk in the depths of earth, and make yourself radiate with glory? If you can, show Me. And WHEN you can, THEN we'll talk about how fair I am."
Yet all too often, humanity continues to think too highly of itself. We don't spend enough time coming to terms with how awesome our God truly is. We have come to think that we, who can't even change the color of our hair without some synthetic chemical process, have the right to challenge assumptions. We assume that we possess an individual intellect and moral capacity that rivals that of an eternal and holy God."
God has existed longer than we can imagine. His will is good and sovereign, and He knows what He is doing. Above all, we need to learn to stop second guessing God and just trust because 1)it will never change anything anyways, 2)He's been around a lot longer than us, and 3)He's capable of more than we could ever dream of.
