—Job 40:1-5
by: Kristin Camenga.
Have you ever gotten angry at God? Or just wanted to ask for an explanation? Have you ever tried to tell God what should happen and how it should be accomplished? I think most of us have. Job did, too, asking God to show up and give him a chance to prove his innocence, only to discover that he was not in control, but God was. The good news is that God didn't just look at this presumptuous man and turn his back; in his great forbearance he revealed himself to Job. We have a God who will reveal himself to us, even if we try to wrench control from him. When we meet with God, then we have a chance to recognize that we are unworthy, but much loved.
