Job and the Problem of Suffering (Continued) - Job 38:1-41, 39:1-30, 40:1-24, 41:1-34, 42:1-17
"My ears had heard of Youbut now my eyes have seen You."
God responds to Job. I love this. Job questions God and God responds. He doesn't answer all of Jobs questions. He just reveals the real purpose of everything in this life: to come in contact with the Lord. Not to understand. But to acknowledge. Not to hear. But to see and know.
Some might suggest you don't question God or call into question His justice. But I don't think that's the point of Job or Doubting Thomas. They questioned and through their questions they came into greater contact with the Lord. Job sees and confesses and repents before the Lord and Doubting Thomas places his hand on Jesus' wounds. Would they have had such a personal experience without question?
I do find it hard to believe that replacement family would make Job forget his first children. No matter how beautiful is new daughters. I don't understand it.
I question God's justice. And hope He will chose to speak to me. Lord knows.
