The Lord Knows What’s Best !!
Instead of answering Job’s
questions directly, God asks Job
a series of questions that no human
can possibly answer. Job responds
by recognising God’s ways are best
In response, Job humbles himself.
God rebukes the three friends for
adding to Job’s suffering by their
false assumptions and criticisms.
Job’s material possessions and
family are restored & he receives
even greater blessings than before.
Lord, thank You for Your answer
to Job, showing that You God is
in control; and only U understand
why the good are allowed to suffer.
Even Job finally learnt that when
nothing else was left, he had God
and that was enough. Help us
Lord to courageously accept what
You allow to happen in our lives.
Help us to love You regardless
of whether You allow blessing
or suffering to come to our life.
Help us Lord to maintain a humble
posture & not question Yr wisdom.
Help us trust U Know What’s Best &
Help us Put Our Trust in You. Amen
Lord,we’ll Not Question Yr Wisdom:
Then the Lord answered Job
from the whirlwind: Who is
this that questions my wisdom
with such ignorant words?
Brace yourself because I
have some questions for you.
Does the rain have a father?
Where does the dew come from?
Who gives birth to the frost?
Can you ensure the proper
sequence of the seasons?
Do you know… how God rules
the earth? (Job 38: 1-3, 27-33).
Lord, as we don’t understand
common occurrences of God’s
creation which is under His
command, it will be challenging
to understand God’s purposes.
It is not our job to question U God
but to worship & serve You. Amen
Lord, You Know What’s Best:
The Lord said to Job: Do you
still want to argue with the
Almighty? You are God’s critic,
but do you have the answers?
Then Job replied to the Lord:
I am nothing. How could I ever
find the answers? I will put my
hand over my mouth in silence.
I have said too much already.
I have nothing more to say.
Then the Lord spoke to Job out
of the storm: Would you discredit
My justice? Would you condemn
Me to justify yourself? Do u have
an arm like God’s and can your
voice thunder like His (Job40:1-9)
Lord, regardless of what we think
is fair, You will still do what You
know is best. We confess we
can’t question Your fairness or
ability to perform. We submit and
give U the chance to reveal Your
greater purpose in Yr time. Amen.
Lord, we put our Trust in God:
Then Job replied to the Lord:
I know that You can do anything
and no one can stop You. You ask:
Who is this that questions My
wisdom with such ignorance?
It is I. And I was talking about
things I did not understand.
I take back everything I said
and I sit in dust and ashes to
show my repentance (J42:1-6).
When Job prayed for his friends,
the Lord restored his fortunes.
In fact, the Lord gave him twice
as much as before (Job42:10-13)
Lord, in our fallen world, suffering
may come to good and bad alike.
Knowing You are in control, we
will not question Your sovereignty.
Whilst we don’t know the reasons
for the trial, we trust You God
with our unanswered questions
and turn to You for strength.
For those who persist trusting
God will be rewarded. Amen.
