There is a kind of futility in virtue and obedience. The good still die young. Evil men live on to an old age. Prosperity comes to both the wicked and the righteous. Job’s complaints rise almost to the point of irreverence. Yet, he knows who God is, as well as God’s right to rule without explaining Himself.
What benefit is there in kicking against omnipotent strength? What clever argument can I present to an omnisicent mind? Wisdom tells me to admit my ignorance, to confess my guilt, and to submit to God’s will.
But in the end, it’s better than this. For my God is not only strong and smart, but He is also good, and kind, and generous. I should wait on the LORD.
LORD, thank you for showing un Your character! Now, when my finite mind reaches its end, I can rest; knowing that You are a very good Father. – Amen
Generous Beggar
