—Job 38:1-7
by: Kristin Camenga.
Has anyone ever told you: "Be careful what you wish for-you may get your wish"? I think Job may have identified with this saying. He has been looking for God to intervene so that he can defend himself, only to have God show up and take control, asking questions that went far beyond the narrow framework Job was thinking about! God's view is much larger than Job's-and much larger than yours or mine. Just as Job was unable to see the reasons for his suffering, sometimes we cannot see the reasons for ours either. But God can. We can stand in his presence, knowing that he is in control of all our circumstances.
