TOPIC: THE BEST RESPONSE TO GOD'S QUERY

JOB 40 : 1 - 5 NIV

1:The Lord said to Job:

2:“Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!”

3:Then Job answered the Lord:

4:“I am unworthy—how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.

5:I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I will say no more.”

THE BEST RESPONSE TO GOD'S QUERY

Job's response in this passage should serve as a great lesson to us. God asked him: "Will the one who contends with Almighty correct Him? Let him who accuses God answer Him" (Job 40:2). 

He replied: "I am unworthy, how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth. I spoke once but I have no answer, twice, but I will say no more." 

Thus, Job withdrew the case he had earlier presented before God after he understood the errors in his earlier approach. But he realised that no one can argue with Him because He remains the Almighty God. Thus, Job submitted to His will.

Believers should accept the will and acts of the Lord, no matter how difficult they are. We should stop complaining and offer thanksgiving to God in every situation (Philippians 4:6).

QUESTION: Do you have any grudges against God?

PRAYER: Oh Lord, forgive any grudges I may have against You and teach me how to thank You in every situation, in Jesus name. Amen.
