—Job 9:32-35
by: Kristin Camenga.
Have you ever been confused by the world around you? I sometimes don't understand the suffering I see-sickness, poverty, emotional trauma-and I wonder why God allows it to happen. Job didn't understand why he was suffering and why the wicked prospered, but he didn't use that as an excuse to avoid God or decide not to serve him. Rather, he chose to seek out God to try to understand-only to be confronted with a seemingly uncrossable gulf between himself and God. How could he even begin to address God? He needed a mediator-a gift we have been blessed with in Jesus Christ! As you see things in life that do not make sense, do you run to God and enter his presence confidently through the blood of Jesus? (Hebrews 10:19)
