Why is it that we can trust someone who we know will let us down over and over again but yet not trust the One that will never let us down? Tonight as I read, Job 38-39 this is the exact question that went through my mind. Many of us will never experience the circumstances that Job did but we all have times where we want to question God. Instead we need to be asking God what He wants to teach us, show us or heaven forbid what He wants to change in us. For nothing happens without God allowing it to be so. For see God sees the finished product while we only see right now. Maybe the circumstance that you so wish would change won't ever change and that's okay. It's hard to understand but it's not our place to understand. We just have to trust Him fully and remember He doesn't allow anything to happen that first doesn't come through Him. For Job lost everything and had no idea that God allowed it all to happen to Job so that He could get the glory.
We just need to learn to be quiet and trust. Trust the One that "laid the foundations of the earth". Trust the One that told the sea "This far you may come, but no farther, and here your proud waves must stop". Have faith in the unseen God. Have faith and trust He has everything under control. We have to give up our wants/needs/desires and follow Him. We have to go against the world and sometimes against our own plans.
We have to shut up and trust Him.
