All of us have had the experience. That experience when you open your mouth before engaging the brain or the heart. It happens when we do not have complete information. In other words, we lack the understanding to speak on the subject. That was Job for thirty-seven chapters of his story.
For all that Job experienced, all the poor counsel from his friends, and his feeling that God was distant, God never spoke to him for the first thirty-seven chapters of the book that bears his name. When Job was confronted by God, God challenged him about his questions. Check out Job’s response in chapter 42:2-3. Throughout this narrative, Job had desired one thing: to know where God was and to make his case. When God finally revealed Himself, Job realized that His Presence melted away the questions and doubts. That can be true for us. Whatever you might be going through, getting into God's Presence can be affirming, encouraging, healing, and even change your perspective.
The psalmist wrote "You reveal the path of life to me; in Your Presence is abundant joy..." (Psalm 16:11)
When you do not understand, when you do not have answers, persist in seeking the Lord God, because when He reveals Himself, you will find peace in His presence. When answers are not enough, there is Jesus!
