Job 42:2 "I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be hindered.
After God allowed Satan to test Job by taking away his family, his health, and his possessions, Job lamented the day of his birth. In the following chapters, Job questioned why God would allow him to endure so much suffering.
If we’re tempted to tell God how life should work, let’s remember He invented it! May He help us to humbly acknowledge our ignorance and to rely on Him—the Creator of the universe.
Then with divine bluntness, God reminded Job that He "invented" life and created the world. God invited him to rethink what he had said. In drawing attention to His sovereign power and the depth of His wisdom displayed everywhere on earth, God exposed the immensity of Job’s ignorance.
With great humility, Job responded, "I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be hindered. I have dealt with things I do not understand...things which I cannot know. Therefore, I disown what I have said and repent in dust and ashes." (Job 42:2-6)
If we’re tempted to tell God how life should work, let’s remember He invented it! May He help us to humbly acknowledge our ignorance and to rely on Him—the Creator of the universe.
