Hi everyone. I just finished reading the book of Job. Everyone, at one time or another, is like Job. Something goes wrong in their life and they complain. Who do they blame for their situation? More often than not, they blame God.
"God, why did you bring this into my life? You do great things for people. Why are you making me suffer? I'm innocent; I did nothing wrong," Job complained.
God answers Job in a very powerful speech, using symbols and metaphors. God told Job that he is not in control. God has power over everything, not humans. God explained that we gain a lot from our struggles. It builds character and persistence in us. It builds character by thinking of others; some people have it worse than us. We have a strong desire to help those in need. We develop persistence by never giving up when the "going gets tough".
God also said that it is wrong to think we're innocent. Everyone sins, believers and non-believers alike. When we get sick, God warns us to turn from our evil ways else we die.
In our struggles, it is ok to complain to God. He understands and can help us.
